Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest move to seek police protection in the UK has unveiled a royal affair which took place more than 20 years ago.

According to royal author Omid Scobie, in a post on twitter, Prince Charles had privately sought police security for Camilla Parker.

"THROWBACK: In May 2002, The Guardian carried a report claiming that Prince Charles privately paid for two full-time police protection officers for his then-longterm mistress, Camilla Parker Bowles. A Palace spokesperson called it a 'private matter',” he tweeted.

Dating back in 2002, it was reported that the Prince of Wales was paying for two full-time security staff out of his own pocket.

Prince Charles's spokeswoman said: "Whatever the prince is providing is a private matter."

The story was unearthed after Prince Harry was rejected by the Home Office to pay for his own police protection when visiting the UK.
