Prince Harry Cancels Family UK Visit After Government Denies Police Protection

Prince Harry will travel to Britain alone in July after the UK government refused his request for Metropolitan Police protection, forcing cancellation of plans to bring Meghan Markle and their children. The decision unravels a family trip announced June 26 and abandoned by June 28. Harry's refusal to bring his family without security guarantees reflects a years-long dispute over protection since he stepped back from royal duties in 2020. The standoff continues despite ongoing litigation in British courts.
