Narrative

"It was a really difficult environment, which I think a lot of people saw," Harry said during an interview in February 2021 on The Late, Late Show with James Corden, "so I did what any father or husband would do and thought, how do I get my family out of here?" Harry was also angry the British government changed his security arrangements and said the lack of automatic police protection meant he was unable to bring his children to Britain.
