Prince Harry Fears Kidnapping Threats against Meghan and Kids, Says Burrell

Prince Harry is reportedly deeply concerned about the safety of his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as security risks for the family continue to grow.

Paul Burrell, former butler to Princess Diana, shed light on the serious threats faced by the royal family. “Being a member of the royal family is a threat,” Burrell stated, emphasizing the constant danger surrounding high-profile figures.

He recalled a significant security scare involving Harry’s father, King Charles III, in 1994. “The threat is huge. There was an assassination attempt on the then Prince Charles in 1994 in Australia, which just highlights the risk,” Burrell explained.

Burrell believes that Harry’s primary concern is the potential risk of kidnapping attempts on his wife and children. Reported by Express UK, he stated, “I think Harry is more worried about his wife and his kids and the risk of kidnapping plots, to be honest. Also, the more he does in the public as a celebrity, the more he could become a target.” “I think Harry is more worried about his wife and his kids and the risk of kidnapping plots, to be honest. Also, the more he does in the public as a celebrity, the more he could become a target.”

Acknowledging Harry’s dedication to protecting his family, Burrell praised the Duke of Sussex’s approach. “So, of course, he is going to take his security more seriously, and this is very important to him. Security is a big part of the royal household. They offer security detail the minute they become engaged to a member of the Royal Family, and I witnessed that when Catherine became engaged.”

This comes as Prince Harry has launched a fresh legal battle in an effort to secure better security arrangements for his children in the UK. He is appealing a High Court ruling that upheld the Home Office’s decision to reduce his security protection after he stepped down from royal duties in 2020.

Harry hopes to give Archie and Lilibet the opportunity to make lasting memories in England, but reduced security remains a major obstacle. His concerns highlight the ongoing debate over whether former royals should retain certain levels of protection after stepping away from official roles.

Security expert Grant Harrold further supported Harry’s concerns, stating, “People in the armed forces and the police have individual threats due to the nature of what they do, but being a member of the royal family is also a threat.”

As Prince Harry continues his legal fight, questions remain over whether the government will reconsider its stance on his security protection. With his commitment to his family’s safety, it is clear that this issue remains a top priority for the Duke of Sussex.
