The saga continues within the British royal family as Prince Harry attempts to reestablish his inner circle after leaving royal duties. According to information from Daily Mail in an article published this Wednesday, December 21, this approach was not lacking to attract the attention of his uncle, Prince Andrew, whose own daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, recently lost their full-time security guards.
Still according to the Daily MailPrince Andrew’s family’s penchant for traveling and frequent vacations is said to be one of the reasons why their security bill would have reached astronomical proportions, estimated at over £100 million. A considerable sum, which highlights financial pressures faced by Queen Elizabeth II’s second son and his family. Especially since Prince Andrew has been demoted in the royal hierarchy, as has his nephew, Prince Harry. Faced with these financial challenges, King Charles decided, according to the British media, to intervene to help his brother by financing private security at the Royal Lodge.

Harry and Meghan: a quality bodyguard
Last September, invited to the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, Harry and Meghan called on a quality bodyguard. Indeed, the Sussex couple had used the services of Christopher Keenan, a former member of the FBI who had already provided security for Hillary Clinton, as well as Christopher Sanchez, a former American secret service agent, who had notably worked at alongside Barack Obama. Although he could afford to hire this team of renowned bodyguards, Prince Harry still does not have the right to royal security. If he managed to obtain it, a close source told the Daily Mail that Prince Andrew would not fail to lobby for his bodyguard to also be reinstated.
