A FORMER bodyguard of Princess Diana has claimed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex NEED royal protection when in the UK.
This comes as Prince Harry is embroiled in a lengthy conflict with the British government over his and his family's right to royal security and protection.
Now, one of Lady Di's former bodyguards has weighed in on the situation, claiming the royal couple requires protection when in the UK.
"I don’t know what the stumbling block is there….I totally get it when he is back in the U.K.," Lee Sansum told US Weekly.
"He should have protection. I don’t get why he isn’t given it."
Sansum first began working with Diana as part of Dodi al-Fayed's security team.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing, and reports suggest Prince William and Prince Harry will commemorate the day apart.
Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, in a tragic car crash that killed the royal, her boyfriend and their driver. The brothers were just 15 and 12 respectively at the time.

The monarch celebrated her 96th birthday this year.
After 70 years married to her late husband, Prince Philip, 70 years on the throne and being only four years off from becoming a centenarian, it’s no wonder the Queen has trouble with her mobility.

Royal commentator Dan Wootton has suggested Prince William and his father Charles should board a flight to California today to put a stop to Harry and Meghan’s comments.
He told the MailOnline:”That’s why Prince Charles and William, ideally with peacemaker Kate in tow, should board a plane to California.
“I know there’s a million reasons why such an idea would be dismissed as preposterous and impossible, especially given the chance of getting through to Harry seems close to nil – he’s co-pilot of this kamikaze mission, after all.”

Meghan hopes little girls will aim for more than to marry a prince
Talking to The cut for their fall edition, Meghan spoke about aspirations for little girls who see her as a ‘real life princess’.
In the interview, Markle talked about hoping children aim for more than marring into status.
She talked about their power within: “It’s important to be thoughtful about it because—even with the Oprah interview, I was conscious of the fact that there are little girls that I meet and they’re just like, “Oh my God, it’s a real-life princess.”
“I just look at all of them and think, “You have the power within you to create a life greater than any fairy tale you’ve ever read.” I don’t mean that in terms of ‘You could marry a prince one day.’ I mean you can find love. You can find happiness.
“You can be up against what could feel like the greatest obstacle and then you can find happiness again.”
