Prince Harry and Meghan are being urged to receive official security after their media coverage is likened to the treatment Princess Diana faced before her death. Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, says the couple should be given protection because the attention they receive from tabloids is “really unpleasant” and creates safety concerns.
Across the outlets, Spencer’s central message is consistent: the media’s behaviour toward the Sussexes resembles what happened to Diana during the later period of her public life. The reporting frames his comments as a comparison meant to highlight potential risks stemming from heightened scrutiny and persistent coverage. While the articles differ mainly in wording and phrasing, they all attribute the call for official security to Spencer and connect it directly to parallels with Diana’s experience.
The reports also note that Spencer is making the argument publicly in interviews and statements, positioning official protection as a preventative step. The coverage does not cite specific incidents involving Harry and Meghan, focusing instead on the broader pattern of media treatment Spencer says warrants additional safeguards.
