Prince Harry claims his children cannot “feel at home” in the UK if it is “not possible to keep them safe” there, the High Court has heard.

In a written witness statement prepared for his legal challenge against the Home Office over a change to his security arrangements when visiting, Harry, 39, said he and his wife Meghan Markle, 42, had been “forced” to leave the country in 2020.

At a hearing in London on Thursday, 7 December, the Duke of Sussex’s barrister, Shaheed Fatima KC, said Harry did not accept that it was a “choice” for him to have stopped being a “full-time working member of the Royal Family”.

The lawyer read out an excerpt from Harry’s statement in which he said: “It was with great sadness for both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020.The UK is my home. "The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US.That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.
