Prince Harry gives new tension to King Charles

Prince Harry has reportedly added to his dad King Charles' worries with his latest demand and announcement.

The Duke of Sussex, who believes the King has the "power" to intervene in his ongoing security row, has also given a new tension to the cancer-stricken monarch as he announced a trip to Colombia.

Harry, who stepped down as a working royal when he left the UK and moved to the US with his wife Meghan in 2020, thinks the 75-year-old is allegedly denying him automatic police protection in the UK.

A royal insider has claimed: "The King seems to be in tension because of Harry.

"The monarch does not want Harry to take risk. It's not in the King's hand to provide the Duke with the police protection."

The source added: "The King is even concerned over Harry's safety as both the UK and US Governments have issued travel alerts for Colombia amid the risk of terrorism, civil unrest and kidnapping."

Harry was stripped of his Metropolitan Police bodyguards after his decision to step down as senior working royals. The committee deciding on security for royalty, VIPs and senior public figures, known as Ravec, changed Prince Harry's level of protection when his status changed.

A source close to Harry said that the Duke places the blame for the "unbelievable situation" on his father, telling The Daily Beast: "If the king wanted, he could do this for his son." Harry’s ally told the publication: "The threat is very real. He needs protection."

Slamming Harry's latest announcement about trip to Colombia, a royal commentator said: "Harry and Meghan are fighting dangerous Britain", but "ignoring kidnap and civil unrest warning in Columbia."
