Harry and Meghan return to the Frogmore Cottage, where their married life began, before moving to California and leaving the Royal Family. In the historic home, inside the royal park of Windsor, the Sussex family can experience the holiday days of Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in peace.
He revealed it to the Daily Mail the expert Simon Morgan, who in the past was among the security officers of the royal family: “If they stay at Frogmore Cottage they will be safe“. In fact, the house will be monitored 24 hours a day by the British police. There is one though: protection it will not extend beyond official events and royal residences. In practice, if they want to enjoy the services of the British police, the dukes of Sussex will not be able to freely go around pubs and restaurants or shops to shop, but will have to limit themselves to attending the events planned for the Queen’s Jubilee. Nor can they be accompanied by the escort that protects them when they are in California, which has remained in the United States since it is not authorized to bring weapons into Great Britain.
For Harry and Meghan, very sensitive to the issue of security, it is a small compromise, it is not known if accepted willingly. For many months they did not return to the UK precisely because they did not feel sufficiently protected, ever since their escort at Scotland Yard was taken away. Harry also went to court to get back the taxpayer-paid bodyguards, as well as all members of the royal family.
But something must have moved, not among the security forces but at least in Harry and Meghan’s heart. So in April there was their visit to the Queen, kept secret until the last, during which they received ample reassurance on the protection they would have during the Platinum Jubilee. And the couple, together with the little ones Archie and Lilibet, decided to be present at the celebrations of the sovereign.
Says a well-informed: “Harry has always thought about the safety of his family. He made it clear that he would not have moved without certainties about protection. His needs were met and therefore he was happy to be able to take part in the celebrations of the Jubilee ».
Among the scheduled events, the dukes will participate on Friday in the mass for the Service of Thanksgiving to St. Paul’s Cathedral together with Elizabeth II and then al evening party at Bukingham Palace, In the same day. Surely, says expert Simon Morgan, “they will have the armed escort when they will attend these events and when they will be in Windsor. The Jubilee is one of the riskiest occasions in recent years and the London police are in charge of ensuring the safety of the royal family and the personalities who will intervene ».
The dukes will also be safe on June 4thday of first birthday of little Lilibet. According to rumors, for the occasion there will be a party at Frogmore Cottage together with some members of the royal family, including Princess Eugenie, who has always been very close to Harry and Meghan. The queen herself may be there to meet the great-granddaughter who bears her name for the first time if she decides not to attend the Epsom horse racing. While William and Kate won’t be there on a mission to Cardiff, Saturday could provide the perfect opportunity for also celebrate the baptism of Lilibet in the private chapel of Windsor, where Harry himself was baptized.
It would be a great sign of reconciliation within the family. For now there are no confirmations or denials. The Buckingham Palace spokesman merely commented that “Frogmore Cottage is still the home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.” The dry style that has always been used at the Windsor house gives hope for the best.
