Prince Harry and Meghan may not be safer in the US than the UK, here’s what’s happening

Prince Harry is in a long-term ongoing security battle with the UK home office as he tries to get the ‘Royal’ protection after stepping down from being a senior Royal in 2020. The couple moved to the US soon after their withdrawal from the Royal Family and have been living there happily.

However, their safety and security still seem to be compromised as the couple dealt with two security issues this week alone. From car chase to stalker outside their £12m California mansion, here’s what’s happening!

Prince Harry and Meghan’s car chase

According to The Sun, Prince Harry and Meghan were followed on the streets of New York for two hours after they left the Ms Foundation gala. The trip was made as Meghan was recognised for her work fighting for women’s rights.

Harry - who made a quick coronation dash - Meghan and her mother Doria are understood to have stayed at a private residence. The NYPD labelled the situation as ‘challenging’ before confirming that there were ‘no collisions, summonses, injuries, or arrests in regard.’

Meanwhile, a spokesperson of The Sussex couple stated:

Last night, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Ms Ragland were involved in a near-catastrophic car chase at the hands of a ring of highly aggressive paparazzi.

This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and two NYPD officers.

Stalker at Prince Harry and Meghan’s £12m California mansion

This comes after a man was arrested for prowling at the Duke’s Montecito Mansion, reported TMZ. A representative for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they got a call at 2 am on Monday morning from the security staff of Prince Harry and Meghan.

A 29-year-old Kevin Garcia Valdovinos was placed under citizen’s arrest by Prince Harry’s security before police took him in custody. A rep confirmed:

Follow-up investigation by Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office Detectives determined the case to be a violation of 647(h) PC – Prowling (misdemeanour) and not a stalking violation. The investigation is ongoing.

Kevin is understood to have been released on $2,500 bail after the incident and it is still unclear if the Sussex family was at home when the intruder tried to enter the home.
