Prince Harry accused of using ‘smoke screens’ to hide from royal realities

Prince Harry has come under fire for trying to use his bid for more private security as a prop smokescreen to avoid having to visit the Royal Family.

Royal author and biographer Tom Bower made this claim during his interview with Closer magazine.

In it, he was quoted saying, “I think the notion that he’s worried about his own security and needs the Met Police is an excuse, and that, sadly, we won’t see him or Meghan back in the UK anytime soon."

"And I think Harry won’t come back because he knows he cannot face his family, and be pleasant with them, knowing what he’s written about them in that book.”

Mr Bower added that this move comes because it may be difficult for Prince Harry to "come back and pretend it’s all fine" because he may be asked to "justify the money he’s been paid."
