    Too bad, I liked him when he moved to Canada. “Now that’s a full head of royal hair”, I’d say. Then he moved to the States a few weeks later and he was dead to me

      He and his wife stepped away from their royal duties in 2020, and as a result, they no longer receive publicly funded police security while in the country, so he thinks he’s unlikely to bring his family here, as he feels unsafe doing so.

        Thanks. Someone else mention to me that in addition to what you said, the royal family has denied his request that he self-funds security protection and the UK courts have sustained that denial. And because private security (which Harry already does pay for) can’t carry weapons in the UK, private security isn’t a sufficient substitute.
