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.

The late Queen reportedly felt increasingly isolated in the months before her death due to the loss of several close friends and her husband Prince Philip, a royal biographer has said.
Robert Jobson claimed that she had begun to invite former members of staff to visit her, with one aide revealing: “She told me she didn’t know anybody [her staff and servants] anymore.”
In her final months, she came to enjoy regular visits and phone calls with her grandson Prince William, who had recently moved to Adelaide Cottage near Windsor Castle.
One aide said: “Prince William knew his time with his grandmother was precious and he is delighted they, as a couple, made that decision.”

Prince Harry reveals reason why he won’t bring Meghan back to UK
The Duke of Sussex has claimed it would be “still dangerous” for his wife to return to the UK following their move to the US. Prince Harry made the comments as he gave his first major interview since the conclusion of his court case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) to the ITV documentary Tabloids On Trial, which aired on Thursday 25 July. When asked whether the legal battles attract more attention during the documentary, he said: “There is more than enough attention on me and my wife (Meghan) anyway.” “It’s still dangerous, and 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, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”

The Prince of Wales has refused to reveal how much tax he pays on private income derived from his huge property portfolio.
Prince William’s Duchy of Cornwall estate, which he inherited on the death of his grandmother Elizabeth II, generated profits of £23.6m over the last financial year, according to the estate’s latest annual report.
The decision marked a stark contrast with his father King Charles III, who would publish a full breakdown of household costs and his tax, which for the year ending 2022 was £5.89m.
