Prince Harry’s decision to not bring his two young children, Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana to the UK hasn’t gone down too well with royal expert Jennie Bond.
The broadcaster appeared on BBC Breakfast on Saturday (April 16) just hours after Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle made an appearance in The Hague ahead of the Invictus Games.
It comes just weeks after Harry was notably absent from the memorial service for Prince Philip, despite his entire family attending the event.
It’s claimed the Duke and his family are unable to return to the UK as they say it is too dangerous for the Sussexexs after being stripped of their police protection.

A spokesperson for the pair said they fund a “private security team” but their own security “cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed” in the UK.
Now, Jennie Bond has shared her thoughts after it was revealed by the UK media that he and Meghan had secretly jetted into London to meet the Queen and Prince Charles at Windsor Castle.

Jennie told hosts Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burden: “Harry is almost too sensitive for his own good but he’s a very loving young man.
“He loves his grandmother, she played such a big part in his upbringing, he lost his mother when he was 12-years-old and the Queen stepped in, in a big way.”
She added: “I think it came out of a sense of true love to see his Granny who is 96 this coming week and who is ailing and a little weak now.”

Rachel added: “That may well be also one of the reasons that, I’m sure would like to bring their children over to meet her.
“That’s what one of the papers is reporting this morning, that they will be back again and they’ll bring their two children, Archie and Lilibet who is named after her great-grandmother.”
Jennie continued: “I’m sure it is a matter of great heartache that she hasn’t met Lilibet and Charles as well.

“I personally don’t see why they couldn’t have brought them this time, why they couldn’t have brought them a few days earlier.”
The veteran royal correspondent fumed: “I do think it was extremely rude and there’s no other way for it, of Harry not to come to the service of thanksgiving for the Duke of Edinburgh.
“I cannot understand why he wasn’t there, he claims it was perhaps because of his security worries but yesterday we saw them whisked being through the streets of Windsor in a blacked-out car with two police outriders out front and two police cars behind, security, that can’t be a true worry.”
BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
