Despite claiming his life is at risk in the UK, Prince Harry reportedly ordered a Deliveroo to a friend's £8 million home—prompting criticism over what some call a shocking security lapse.
Prince Harry reportedly ordered a Deliveroo takeaway to a friend's Chelsea home during a visit to the UK—despite ongoing claims that his safety is at serious risk when in the country.
The Duke of Sussex recently lost a Court of Appeal challenge against the Home Office over a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) to downgrade his security status while in the UK.
‌
Following the ruling, he told the BBC he couldn't envision a future where he'd bring his wife and children back to Britain due to safety concerns.
‌
However, it has since emerged that during a visit with Lord Charles Vivian in May last year, Harry took what some have called an "unthinkable" security risk by allowing a Deliveroo driver to deliver food to the £8 million residence—raising questions about the seriousness of his security concerns, reports the Mirror.
Ken Wharfe, Princess Diana's former protection officer, told The Sun on Sunday: 'It's unbelievable that someone who considers himself a high-security risk would allow an unknown delivery driver to approach the house. It's just unthinkable. If he can do that and still complain about a lack of security, that's a very unintelligent thing to do.'
Harry's security provisions were scaled back in 2020 after he and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals and relocated to California.
After the court ruling, Harry criticised Ravec for failing to conduct a proper risk assessment, calling it a 'dereliction of duty.'
‌
He said: 'In recent years my family and I have been subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats, including from al Qaida… Yet since 2019 a proper risk assessment has not been conducted.'

He argued that he's merely asking for the same security protocols afforded to others, stating: 'I was born into lifelong circumstances that create inherent security risks. My military service, public profile, and media exposure have only intensified those threats.'
Calling the legal battle 'devastating,' Harry urged Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to review Ravec's decisions, warning that control over royal security could be misused to exert power over family members.
