One told the Sun: “I could not believe it when I saw who he was. We also moved back. “They looked happy and relaxed and nodded to everyone on the bus. Charles and the Queen were at Windsor Castle at the same time, so they must have met both. “It was a very nice sight. “We knew we could see Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at the ceremony, but we never thought we would meet Harry and Megan.”
Security Issues
The Duke of Sussex is currently in a legal dispute between the Supreme Court and the Home Office over his security status. An incident took place in London last summer, when his safety was at stake after his car was chased by paparazzi photographers as he was leaving a charity event. He is seeking judicial review of the government’s decision not to provide police protection to him and his family while in the United Kingdom. He also sued the Mail on Sunday for a defamatory article on the subject, which he said caused him “a major blow, embarrassment and anxiety”. The Duke has been criticized for failing to return to the UK last month for a Thanksgiving service for his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. Duke does not appear to have similar safety concerns when it comes to traveling to the Netherlands for the Invictus Games. About 300 journalists are accredited for the event and dozens of paparazzi will be there. The couple will be protected around the clock by their private security team, as well as by local authorities. The DKDB Royal and Diplomatic Security Service of the Dutch National Police is said to have overall responsibility for security. It is not known where the couple will stay, but Soho House Amsterdam, where they have stayed in the past, is a possibility. They are good friends with Markus Anderson, the executive of the private members club, who sat next to the Duchess at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games in Toronto in 2017. The Invictus Games, founded by the Duke in 2014, have been delayed twice due to the coronavirus crisis. The event, inspired by Warrior Games in the United States, aims to help wounded and sick soldiers manage their recovery.
