Prince Harry has previously voiced fears for his family’s safety in the UK, but Prince William appears to be “enjoying a pretty normal life”.
The heir to the throne reportedly enjoyed a trip to the pub in North Norfolk last weekend with mother-in-law Carole Middleton, according to Richard Eden’s column in the Mail.
Like every year, the Waleses escape to Norfolk with their three children for the April half-term break. This year appears no different, even after Princess Kate bravely revealed she was undergoing cancer treatment.
There was “no sign” of the Princess of Wales on the visit, William enjoyed a quiet drink with Carole – who is said to be staying with the family during the Easter half-term.
In his article, Mr Eden pinned news of William’s “pretty normal” trip to pub alongside Harry’s earlier comment about fearing for his family’s safety in the UK.
News of William’s visit to the pub, which saw him and Carole “just walked in and through the pub”, is likely to “blow apart” Harry’s comment.
In his article, Mr Eden wrote: “Prince Harry said he and Meghan fled Britain in 2020 ‘fearing for our lives’, yet his brother Prince William seems able to enjoy a pretty normal life.
“Indeed, I’m told he popped into a pub in North Norfolk at the weekend with his mother-in-law, who is said to have been staying with the Prince and Princess of Wales for Easter.
“A patron tells me: ‘It was all very low-key, with no great fanfare. He just walked in and through the pub. He appeared to be with Carole Middleton.'”
Harry has made it no secret that he fears for his wife and two children’s safety, but it begs the question of how can the heir to the throne go about doing normal things but Harry fears doing the same in the UK.
Earlier this year, Harry lost his High Court challenge against the Government over his security protection when visiting the UK.
The father-of-two took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision that he should receive a different degree of protection when he returns to the UK.
It came after Harry attempted to overturn a ruling that saw his security status downgraded after he stepped down as a “working royal” at the start of 2020.
Despite the decision, Harry is set to return to the UK next month for an event in London to mark the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Harry has been added as a guest at the event – which will take place at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 – but Meghan has been marked as TBC [To Be Confirmed].
Meghan has been tipped to join Harry in the UK, despite reportedly having fears that she is not “wanted” in the UK.
Although the Duchess of Sussex was said to be keen on visiting the UK in May, she is now said to have had a “change of heart” and is fearing an “anxiety-fuelled visit”.
As well as Meghan, fans were speculating that the couple could also bring their two children – Prince Archie, who turns five next month, and Princess Lilibet, two.
