Late Queen’s secret letter that revealed how she felt about Prince Harry’s UK security
A secret letter has revealed the late Queen Elizabeth II considered it “imperative” that her grandson, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle kept “effective” security after stepping down as senior working royals, court documents have shown.
The late Queen’s most senior aide told a Home Office committee that keeping the Sussexes safe was of “paramount importance” to Queen Elizabeth and her family.
After the famous ‘Sandringham Summit’ Sir Edward Young wrote to Sir Mark Sedwill, the then Cabinet Secretary, to explain what had been decided.
The letter which appeared in court documents last December, according to the Telegraph, revealed Sir Edward, who wrote on behalf of the Palace made the case for Harry’s continued “effective security” after leaving the Royal Family.
The letter therefore contradicts the narrative that the Duke and Duchess were cut off by the Royal Family and was submitted to the High Court as part of evidence to reach the truth of whether and when the Duke made an offer to pay for his own security.
Sir Edward wrote: “During their time in the UK, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex expect to attend public-facing engagements representing the charities and causes which remain dear to them.
