Prince Harry's fear about family's safety in UK dubbed valid as threat level 'on red'

Prince Harry was mocked by royal experts for saying he couldn’t bring his kids and wife, Meghan Markle, to the U.K. due to a lack of taxpayer-funded security.

Now, sources say there are real threats to Harry, Meghan and their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s safety in the U.K. without police security.

A security insider said, "Harry, his wife, and their kids have their names all over the dark web and encrypted channels used by terrorists to communicate."

"They are a high-value kidnap and torture commodity” for terrorist groups, the mole added, per Radar Online.

“There are also complete obsessives who are talking constantly about stalking the pair and their children," the expert added.

He claimed that the "threat level against them is now on red."

Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe has previously echoed the same warnings and said the Duke of Sussex, 40, is right in fearing for his family’s safety in the U.K.

He told Radar Online that the "threat is very real" and listed "lunatics, radical individuals, and terrorist elements" as those who pose a serious threat to Harry and his family.

"These are not paranoid fears – these are credible risks," he added.

To address his security-related worries, Prince Harry took the Home Office to court over their decision to downgrade his and his family’s security while they’re in the U.K. However, he lost the case despite repeated appeals and a final appeal in the High Court in May.

Afterwards, he sat down with the BBC and argued, "I was born into this position. I was born into those risks. And they've only increased over time."

He also declared that since he had no legal options left in this regard, he "[couldn't] see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK".

Prince Harry lives in California, U.S., with his wife, Meghan Markle, and kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
