Harry and Meghan's 'inflated idea of own importance' behind new 'obsession'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have an "obsession" with safety due to their own "inflated" egos, a royal expert claims.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have raised a number of concerns in recent months about not feeling safe, with Harry's claim for government security recently being rejected by the High Court. Harry already revealed he plans to appeal the verdict in a blistering statement hitting out at the ruling.
The couple have also been told this week that they will receive increased security protection on any New York visits following a car chase they believed "could have been fatal". Now royal expert and author Tom Quinn exclusively tells The Mirror the Duke and Duchess have an "obsession" with their personal safety because they have an "inflated idea of their own importance".

"Throughout his life Harry has assumed – like all members of the Royal family – that he is special and he assumes everyone agrees with him.

"When he ceased to be a working Royal, the sense of being special did not go away. It’s almost as if he doesn’t really believe that ceasing to be a working Royal makes any difference. In his own mind, he is still a senior Royal and therefore deserving of taxpayer support when it comes to security."
Referring to Harry's latest battles in court, Tom added that he "cannot stay out" of them, due to an obsession with "defeating a world that is always, in his view, out to get him". Tom went on: "He has always seen himself as a victim and it's very hard to shake that off; every defeat in court simply makes him redouble his efforts to prove that he is right and everyone else is wrong."
Meghan and Harry will get increased security in New York (Getty Images)The comments come as speculation mounts as to whether Harry's dad, King Charles, will take his youngest son up on his offer to help out on royal duties while he undergoes treatment for cancer. Charles has taken a step back from his duties and much of his workload currently is falling on Harry's older brother, Prince William.
However, despite initial resistance, former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, insists the monarch could be tempted to use his youngest to alleviate the pressure on William.
Grant told the New York Post: "It is possible that given recent events, with the king not being 100% and he’s now relying on other members of the family, he could ask Harry to take on other duties. Remember, Prince Harry is still a senior member of the royal family - he’s not a working member of the royal family, but he is still very much a member of the family and Counsellor of State, which means he’s able to step in when the king is unable to perform his duties."
