Prince Harry 'can't return to UK' for uncle's funeral 'due to strict rule'

Prince Harry's personal relationships have reportedly been hit hard by the Home Office's decision to downscale his security detail when in the UK.

It's been reported that while Prince Harry's pals based in Britain are keen to see him more, the official stipulation to notify authorities 28 days ahead of visiting the country means he can mostly only make it back for significant celebrations or well-scheduled public engagements.

A source shared that because of these constraints, it looks like he might sadly miss his uncle Robert Fellowes' funeral next week.The late Queen's companion died aged 82 earlier this month.

Harry's representatives have to alert the Home Office a month before any planned trips to arrange proper security measures. "Harry didn't have plans to visit the UK this summer so when something last-minute arises like a funeral, it becomes a very difficult situation to navigate," the source conveyed. "Harry would like to spend more time in Britain, but it's a logistical nightmare for his team due to ongoing security issues." When pressed if there'd be any leeway given for emergency trips like attending a family funeral, an official spokesperson reiterated: "The UK Government's protective security system is rigorous and proportionate.
