ruled to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their protection in February, Harry has made it his mission to win it back — but has notably received zero help from the royals.And according to royal author Ingrid Seward, the cancer-stricken monarch, 76, will not be lending his youngest son a helping hand in his ongoing legal battle.“The king is in a position where the security and who gets the security is decided by the government, and the government is not the monarch,” Seward told Fox News.“When Charles was Prince Charles, he could do more, but as monarch, he has to be very careful.
