I think everyone was rather surprised that he wouldn’t be coming to the Thanksgiving Service because he was very close to the Duke of Edinburgh, he obviously came back for the funeral, so his decision was surprising to people. There doesn’t seem to be much reason as to why he wouldn’t come.

I think a lot of people just don’t understand Harry’s thinking on this, at a very simple level – take away all the royal trappings – he should be attending the Thanksgiving Service of his grandfather. He should be supporting his grandmother, regardless of the fact that she is queen. On a simple family level, he should be there. And I think that’s how most people [in the U.K.] feel right now. He could come on his own easily. Even Meghan and the kids can remain safely in California. He should be there.

His cousins don’t have police protection and they travel with ease, so people do struggle to understand where the security threat sits. And to be blunt, why should Harry have police protection paid for by the British people when he’s going to be in places that are heavily protected by police anyway?

It didn’t get very much pickup in the U.K., i think timing is everything. And all the news stories here in the U.K. are all about Ukraine right now. I’ve not heard many people talk about it. But I think the Sussexes’ timing on many things hasn’t been great over the last few years. I think there’s almost boredom and resignation around the Sussexes in the U.K. I just think people aren’t that interested in what they’re doing at the moment.
