Samantha, has shared her thoughts on Prince Harry's announcement that he will not be attending a memorial service for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.Harry will not return to the UK from the US to join the Royal Family at the high-profile occasion in Westminster Abbey on March 29, a spokesperson for the duke confirmed.Philip died just under a year ago in April 2021 at the age of 99, with Harry returning to the UK for his funeral, without Meghan.The duke wants to bring his son Archie and baby daughter Lilibet to visit from the US, but he and his family are "unable to return to his home" because it is too dangerous, a legal representative previously said.Former military serviceman Harry, 36, is currently taking legal action against the Home Office who stripped him of his security from the Met Police after stepping down as a working royal.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star from her home in Florida, his sister-in-law, Samantha said: "I think the bottom line is naturally, he would have security, asking to make security such a big issue seems like some sort of excuse on the grounds that the whole Royal Family are attending."As the whole world has seen The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children live such high profile lives yet with a resemblance of normality, they don't always take private jets and travel coach (economy), while on royal duty they have security, it's the same with Princess Anne."Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duty and wanted to pursue the red carpets and be American so therefore it only seems right and protocol that they're not entitled to the same benefits that royal duty comes with."She added: "To demand it, he's a family member, that hasn't changed but to demand things that being in duty.
