The fact that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan left Great Britain was not only due to the Californian sunshine. Rather, the wife was exposed to the most violent attacks - by the press, but also by other people, as a former high-ranking police officer now reveals.
Former London Police Counter-Terrorism Chief Neil Basu has spoken in an interview about threats against Duchess Meghan during her time in the UK. There have been many "very serious and disgusting" threats against Prince Harry's wife, the outgoing commissioner, who long headed the counter-terrorism unit, told Channel 4 on Tuesday night.
"We had teams investigating that. People were also being prosecuted for those threats," he said. Basu has been responsible for several of the largest police operations in the British capital in recent years.
Harry and Meghan said goodbye to Great Britain and the British royal family in 2020 and now live in California with their two children. One of the reasons for the withdrawal was the handling of the British tabloids with the Duchess, whose Afro-American roots were sometimes reported with racist undertones.
Security while in the UK continued to concern Harry's family after the move: Harry entered a legal battle with the UK Home Office after he was denied the police protection that was seen as a working royal for him and his family. The authorities rejected his suggestion that he pay for police protection himself.
A series about Harry and Meghan is about to start on Netflix. According to information from the US magazine "Page Six", the documentary is scheduled to start on December 8th. The series aims to show the love story of the couple. The title is not yet clear, the original name "Chapters" (chapters) should not have pleased Meghan and Harry.
The streaming giant signed a million-dollar contract with the two royals after they moved to the United States. It is eagerly awaited in Great Britain whether the youngest son of King Charles III. and his wife in the streaming series, as in the past, will criticize the palace and the monarch.
