Prince Harry has addressed the real reason he wanted to stay in America with his wife and two children at an engagement on Wednesday.

While the Duke of Sussex, 40, attended the 2024 New York Times DealBook Summit yesterday, his wife Meghan was at an awards ceremony in California, marking yet another recent engagement where the couple have been spotted solo.

However, in a chat with reporters at the New York Times event yesterday, Prince Harry did not shy away from questions surrounding his marriage and family life.

Harry explained by living in the US they are afforded a level of privacy as well as a life of activities they “undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK” due to security concerns, as reported in the Mirror.

Harry took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection when in the country, but the High Court rejected his case in February.

Harry’s initial bid to bring an appeal was refused after he lost a High Court challenge over the decision, but he can now take his case directly to the Court of Appeal.
