Prince Harry's 'Trap' Claim Leaves Royal Family 'Worried' He Could Write A Book About His Security Woes

Prince Harry has reportedly left the royal family on high alert over fears that he could write another book after his bombshell memoir, "Spare."

According to sources, the new book would likely center around his downgraded security in the UK following his and his wife, Meghan Markle's exit from royal life.

This comes after Prince Harry shared that his "worst fears" were confirmed regarding why his security was cut.

The Duke of Sussex was left in disbelief when his security was stripped from him following his and Meghan's decision to step down as working royals and relocate to the US.

This move by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) prompted Harry to sue the Home Office, which has legal responsibilities for the committee's decisions.

After attending court proceedings in the UK last week over the security issue, Harry said that his protection was downgraded in an attempt to "trap" him and his wife in the royal family.

He further noted that "people would be shocked by what's being held back" regarding evidence that had been heard in court.

Now, according to The Sun, a Buckingham Palace insider revealed: "There's a lot of worry that Harry could tell all in a book deal or even follow Meghan's lead and make a podcast."

"He's hinted he has discovered secrets during the hearings, particularly regarding the treatment of him and Meghan, that would shock us all," the insider continued. "It is a veiled threat essentially that he will tell all if it doesn't go the way he wants it to."

The Duke of Sussex has been appealing the government's decision to strip him of security after he and Meghan quit their roles as working royals in 2020.

Harry has consistently argued that the lack of adequate security provided by the UK government puts his family at risk.

According to People Magazine, Harry was "exhausted and overwhelmed" as he left court on April 9, saying that his "worst fears have been confirmed by the whole legal disclosure in this case — and that's really sad."

Harry has done quite a lot to plead his case, including learning about RAVEC, the body responsible for the decision-making.

The news outlet noted that Harry believes the decision to strip him and Meghan of their security was a calculated plot to control them and force them back into the royal fold.

However, rather than force him to reconsider his choice to leave the monarchy, this move opened his eyes to just how far his family was willing to go, a realization that "was difficult to swallow."

Harry attended a 2-day court session in London's Royal Court of Justice where his legal team argued he had been "singled out" for "unjustified and inferior treatment."

During Monday's hearing, his attorney, Barrister Shaheed Fatima KC, proposed a close door session to explore sensitive comparisons between Harry and others, potentially members of the royal family or other high-profile individuals.

The Duke was seen taking notes in a small spiral-bound notebook and sending out messages on his phone from time to time.

In their written arguments, Harry's lawyers stated that he and Meghan "felt forced to step back from their roles as full-time official working members of the Royal Family as they considered they were not being protected by the institution."

The lawyers outlined how Harry and Meghan had "wished to continue their duties in support of the late Queen [Elizabeth] as privately funded members of the Royal Family."

Elsewhere during the session, Harry's lawyers claimed RAVEC didn't undergo an expert assessment of any threats to his life before pulling the plugs on his taxpayer-funded security.

Fatima argued that RAVEC did not use the specialist body, the Risk Management Board (RMB), to carry out an analysis of the security risk Harry faced. Therefore, they "diverted" from its terms of reference, adding that the assessment "is a key and crucial feature" of the RAVEC process.

She claimed the organization did not have "the expert analysis" that it needed to consider whether or not Harry should be treated in the same way as those in what she called "the Other VIP Category," arguing that Harry's position is "analogous" to those in that category.

She pointed out that the committee created a unique arrangement for Harry and added that his "bespoke" arrangement is "not applied [to] anyone else."

Fatima explained that Harry "does not accept that bespoke means better." She added, "In his submission, he has been singled out for different, unjustified, and inferior treatment. Not only does this 'bespoke' process not involve an RMB — it also involves RAVEC considering the reason why [Harry] is attending a particular event: even though that is plainly irrelevant to the question of security."

Meanwhile, RAVEC has denied that the Duke was being targeted unfairly in their decision to withdraw his security, adding that the bespoke approach was carefully considered and tailored for his unique circumstances.

The lawyer representing the Home Secretary, Sir James Eadie KC, denied Harry was "singled out," saying the flexible setup had "positive advantages" and reflected his decision to step back from royal duties and live abroad.

Eadie added that RAVEC's chairman at the time, Sir Richard Mottram, had final responsibility for the decision and that RAVEC had the expertise to act without a formal risk report in this case.
