A woman reportedly breached a “secure zone” in Prince Harry‘s protection detail when he attended the WellChild Awards in London. Two days later, the same woman — who once followed the Duke of Sussex to Nigeria — was seen near the Center for Blast Injuries during the Spare author’s visit. A member of his team reportedly recognized the woman and “body-blocked” her to keep her a safe distance from Harry. She also has a history of stalking Meghan Markle. It’s believed she is suffering from mental health issues.
Prince Harry lost his publicly funded security detail when he retired from his official royal duties. The father of two sued the U.K. government over the decision, but the Court of Appeal decided against him.
According to a source, Prince Harry feels “enormous guilt” about putting others at risk due to his lack of security. “It should not be left to two office staff to act as extra eyes and ears or provide a physical barrier between a clearly ill, paranoid schizophrenic and the fifth in line to the throne,” the source said. “That should not happen. It is only going to take one motivated, lone individual for this to go south very quickly.”
King Charles III and Prince Harry severed communication as the security lawsuit worked through the courts. “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,” the 41-year-old said earlier this year, adding that “it would be nice to reconcile.” The duo reunited in the U.K. months later, though they’ve yet to officially mend their relationship.
