Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to be angry at what they see as preferential treatment being given to Kate Middleton’s sister, Pippa Middleton, and her husband, James Matthews, after the couple received permission to increase security around their Berkshire mansion.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who had their government-funded private security removed after stepping down from royal duties, are said to be angry at the discrepancy.A source told Radar Online. com reports that the situation has reignited long-standing frustrations over how the couple felt they were treated compared to other members of the extended royal circle.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry angry at ‘double standards’
“What irritates Meghan and Harry is the double standards.” The insider claimed that.
“Harry and Meghan have no problem letting Pippa and James have this portal. If they feel they need protection, they should have it.” The source added that the couple’s frustration was not directed at Pippa and James personally, but at the perceived inconsistency in how security decisions are made.
James Matthews defends security measures
After investigating the extra security measures at their home in Berkshire, James Matthews defended the need for increased protection.
“There are implications for my family, due to their high public profile, which means that a higher level of security is needed than would have been the case if circumstances had been different.” He said in a statement on Sky News.
“So, to improve security for my family, before we moved in, I arranged for an electric security gate to be installed on the road,” He added. “Unfortunately, there is a continuing need to enhance security.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s security is under review
Although their security has been removed, the British government is currently reviewing this decision. Royal expert Jenny Bond told The Mirror that the review was an important development. “I think this is a huge win for Harry and the review is what he deserves;” She said. “He cannot change the fact that he is the son of King Charles III. He is also a former army officer who participated in the armed conflict in Afghanistan during his two tours of service.
“Bond also cited specific concerns about Harry’s personal safety. “He, foolishly many, admitted to killing 25 Taliban in his book “Spare Parts.” This admission must have made the target already on his back even bigger. Therefore, I believe he has legitimate concerns about his security and the risks his family would face if he brought them to the UK.”
Security is at the heart of the dispute between Prince Harry and his family
According to Bond, the security dispute is central to Harry’s separation from the royal family and represents the biggest obstacle to any meaningful reconciliation. “Security concerns lie at the heart of Harry’s separation from his family here.” She said. “He said the disagreement was always the sticking point in any reconciliation with his father. He considered the court’s decision against him an “old-fashioned institution.”
