Prince Harry wants to take legal action - if necessary - to obtain police protection in his native England.

The police in charge are now speaking up.

London – Prince Harry once again upsets the royal family.

After turning his back on the British royal court, he is no longer entitled to police protection in his home country.

If necessary, he wants to go to court to get the necessary protection.

What the responsible police think about it, she now communicated in clear words.

“Prince Harry inherited a life security hazard at birth.

[...] in recent years his family has faced well-documented threats from neo-Nazis and extremists," the

quotes Harry's lawyers as saying.

Prince Harry has bodyguards, but they don't have the necessary intelligence and can't offer the same level of protection as the police, the argument goes.

Harry's legal adviser added in a statement that he would "very gladly" pay for the costs himself and not burden the taxpayer under any circumstances.

A court could soon decide how the dispute between Harry, Meghan and the royal family ends.
