Duke of Sussex misses close friend’s wedding due to lack of protection during legal battle
Harry has reportedly suffered a personal setback during his high-profile visit to the United Kingdom, as growing security concerns forced him to cancel plans to attend a close friend’s wedding.
The Duke of Sussex was expected to join his longtime friend Charles Vivian for his big day but ultimately decided not to attend due to limited security support during his stay in London, according to the Daily Mail.
Royal commentator Richard Eden revealed that a source close to Harry shared, “The main reason for his absence was that security wasn't provided for the visit, which makes attending events or moving around the UK very challenging.”
Harry is currently in London for a two-day court hearing as he continues his legal battle over the Home Office’s decision to downgrade his security after stepping back from royal duties in 2020. He has argued that he received “unjustified and inferior treatment” compared to others in the “VIP category,” and believes this has left him and his family vulnerable.
The personal disappointment adds to the emotional weight of the case, which has attracted widespread attention. As the second day of the hearing unfolds, many are watching closely for a verdict that could shape Harry’s future presence in the UK.
