Prince Harry has revealed in a new interview that he is fearful of bringing Meghan Markle back to the UK incase of an “acid” or “knife attack”.
In the new ITV documentary Tabloids on Trial, which aired on Thursday, the 39-year-old said he would not bring his wife back to the UK over safety fears partially caused by the press.
He said: “All it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff, to act on what they have read... and whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is.”
The prince added that the late Queen is backing his tabloid fight “up there” and that he had many discussions with the late monarch about press intrusion and that she supported the action he is taking against it.
“She knew how much this meant to me and she’s very much up there saying ‘see this through to the end’,” he said.
Harry and Meghan moved to California in June 2020 after stepping down as working royals. The couple no longer has an official UK residence.

Prince Harry says mother Diana was ‘absolutely right’ in phone hacking suspicions
The Duke of Sussex said Princess Diana was "absolutely right" in her suspicions that she was subject to phone hacking. In a new ITV documentary Tabloids on Trial, Prince Harry spoke of how his mother Princess Diana was painted as paranoid by press. Harry also spoke about his successful High Court case for the first time. He told ITV: "When you’re vindicated it proves that you weren’t being paranoid. You know, same with my mother. "There is evidence to suggest that she was being hacked in the mid-nineties... yet still today, the press, the tabloid press very much enjoy painting her as being paranoid. "She was absolutely right about what was happening to her."

Meghan Markle ‘likely’ to miss UK Invictus Games
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: “Unless this is resolved and Harry gets the guaranteed police protection he feels he needs for himself and his family - a demand that I have some sympathy with, I can’t see him bringing Meghan and the children here.
“The security issue always provides a credible excuse for Meghan and the children not coming to the UK.
“Personally, I don’t think she ever wants to come here again, but I think she will be acutely aware that her absence at something like the Invictus Games – her husband’s greatest achievement – would signal more than a concern about safety.”

In ITV’s new documentary Tabloids on Trial, which aired on Thursday, presenter Rebecca Barry asked the prince: “Both your father and your sister-in-law have been unwell.
“It’s a reminder, I guess, to all of us that life is precious.
“Does it ever just make you think, ‘This is not worth it. Life is just too short for these legal battles’?”
Prince Harry, appeared shocked by the question, he replied: “Erm, I don’t think the legal, the continuation of these legal battles is the sort of, I...
“The two things are completely separate.
“Erm, you know, my father and my sister-in-law, and me, you know, following through on these legal battles are two completely different things.”
