He shared the letter with caption, “NEW: The late Queen wanted Prince Harry to have “effective security”.
“After the 2020 break-up summit at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth’s Private Secretary wrote to government saying it “is of paramount importance” to her that Harry and Meghan get protection.”
The extract from the letter reveals, “You will understand well that ensuring that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain safe is of paramount importance to Her Majesty and her family.

“Given the duke’s public profile by virtue of being born into the royal family, his military service, the duchess’s own independent profile and the well-documented history of targeting of the Sussex family by extremists, it is imperative that the family continues to be provided with effective security.”
And in an apparent nod to the death of Harry’s mother Princess Diana, the letter added: “And, of course, the family is mindful of tragic incidents of the past.”
