In a few days, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will travel to the Netherlands. For their arrival in Europe, the Sussex have thought of everything, especially their safety.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will soon fly to Europe. If they leave the United States, however, it is not to go to England … but to the Netherlands. In a few days, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be in The Hague to attend the Invictus Games, a sporting event created by Prince Harry in 2014 that highlights wounded soldiers and veterans of wars as well as people with disabilities. For this trip, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be able to count on impressive security as they have received VVIP status (above VIP) from the Dutch police, who still believe that there is “no credible threat” to the couple. During their visit, the parents of Archie and Lilibet will be accompanied by a private security team but will also be protected by police officers, as reported by the Mirror.
The Duke and Duchess’ private security team has liaised with the Dutch authorities and secured a “high-level multi-agency protection program” for the couple for the duration of their trip. Through it, they will have direct links to all law enforcement and emergency services, as well as “detailed extraction processes” in the event of a “personal or larger-scale terrorist attack.” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also reportedly underwent a “hostile environment” training course conducted by their security team. The Duchess must stay only “a few days” on site, while her husband will be in the Netherlands for the duration of the Games. And for the moment, no visit to his family is planned
Prince Harry “inherited at birth a risk for his security”.
If he does not intend to go to the United Kingdom, it is because he fears for his safety. A few weeks ago, he asked for police protection, which he would pay for out of his own pocket, when he comes. The Duke of Sussex would like to take his children to his native country, but he and his family “cannot return home” because it is too dangerous, as a legal representative stated, citing “extremist and neo-Nazi” threats, among other things. “Prince Harry inherited a lifetime safety risk at birth. He remains sixth in line to the throne, has served two combat tours in Afghanistan and in recent years his family has been subject to extremist and neo-Nazi threats,” a statement read. A government spokesman said the system for protecting public figures was “rigorous and proportionate”.
