King Charles’ office had its own reason to celebrate as his son, Prince Harry, made major progress in his long security battle.
Hours after reports emerged on January 4 claiming that the Duke of Sussex’s fight for security in the United Kingdom was about to be resolved in his favor, the king shared a separate congratulatory message via the royal family’s official Instagram account run by Buckingham Palace. The post celebrated professional darts player Luke Littler’s latest achievement.
“Congratulations to Luke Littler on his second world championship title! the message read. He appeared in a video reposted to the Royal Family’s Instagram Stories by the Professional Darts Corporation, which captioned the original clip: “The moment Luke Littler became the fourth player to win back-to-back world championship titles!”
The timing of the Palace message was remarkable. Earlier today, the Mail Sunday reported that Prince Harry had indeed won his legal fight to restore taxpayer-funded police protection for him and his family during his visits to the United Kingdom.
Although no official announcement has been made, sources told the outlet that confirmation could come in the coming weeks. Insiders close to the Sussexes claimed Harry’s security had already been restored and it was now “just a formality” before the decision was made public.
However, the source warned that there could still be one final obstacle.
“The only thing that could derail its approval would be intervention from the Palace,” they said.
