Prince Harry Allegedly Wrote ‘Spare’ in Response to Losing His Security Team

After stepping down from his senior royal duties, Prince Harry lost his official security privileges. According to reports, his battle for protection may be the driving force behind his revealing memoir, *Spare*.

Sources suggest Harry’s demand for security is the true motivation behind his tell-all projects. Since moving to California in 2020, Meghan Markle has only returned to the U.K. for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, with insiders claiming Harry is anxious about the safety of his wife and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, should they visit the country. After losing his legal bid to maintain police protection in the U.K., Harry is expected to appeal the decision.

A royal insider revealed, “Harry is scared and believes the only person who can help is his father.” Another source emphasized, “Harry is determined to protect his family at all costs.”

Despite Harry’s fears, Meghan reportedly supports him but wishes he could move on from the legal battles. An insider shared, “She wants him to let go of the lawsuits and enjoy life, but she knows he can’t because of his love for her and their children.”

In the *Tabloids on Trial* documentary, Harry expressed concerns about the dangers his family could face in the U.K., stating, “It only takes one individual to act on something they’ve read. Whether it’s a knife or acid, these are real concerns for me, which is why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”

Although Harry currently lacks the level of protection he seeks, Queen Elizabeth had initially hoped the Sussexes would feel secure during their time in the U.K. A former private secretary of the monarch explained, “Though their engagements are no longer on behalf of Her Majesty, their high profile still attracts significant public attention.”

While in the U.K., the Sussexes were frequently targeted by racist and violent social media threats, prompting concerns over their safety. Royal insiders emphasized the importance of effective security for the family, given the high-profile nature of both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the troubling history of extremist threats against them.
