"My worst fears were confirmed ...": Prince Harry is facing emotional toll. Here's why | Today news
Prince Harry is struggling with the emotional toll of a legitimate struggle that forced him to face a painful truth that he has struggled to go from since leaving the UK in 2020 – one who, according to people, underlines his tense relationship with the royal family. Speaking to People After Leaving Court on April 9, Harry Admitted to Feeling “Exhausted and Overwhelmed,” Saying, “My worst Fears have been confirmed through the legal disclosures in this case-and that’s really sad.” London’s Royal Courts of Justice, fully engaged as he took notes and closely followed the appeals concerning the 2020 decision to revoke automatic state funded security for him and his wife, Meghan Markle. “We tried to create this happy home,” Harry told People. After leaving the Sandringham summit in January 2020, Harry believed their safety arrangements would remain unchanged. Court documents later revealed that Queen Elizabeth, in personal letters, expressed her support for the couple’s need for ‘effective security’. Sources have previously told people that Charles no longer takes Harry’s calls or answers to his letters. Attempts to re -link with his brother, Prince William – by calls, texts and messages – have also gone unanswered. During the two-day court hearings, Harry’s legal team argued that the Revec committee “derived” his ordinary procedures, and that he effectively singled out Harry for “different, unjustified and inferior treatment”. They also claimed to have been granted the same security privileges to others in the ‘other VIP category’, which includes celebrities and former prime minister, people reported. My worst fear has been confirmed by the legal revelations in this matter – and it is really sad. This one has always mattered the most. The Duke of Sussex was involved in various legal battles, including a recent victory in January 2025, when he received an apology and an eight-digit array from the publisher of the Sun for illegal action performed on their behalf. However, this current matter has a deeper personal meaning. Harry spoke to people when he left the courtroom, and shared, ‘This one has always mattered the most,’ and emphasizes that the issue hits at the heart of his family life and his future.
