Prince Harry, the Duke of Suss*x, made a high-profile entrance in Germany on Saturday, September 9, just hours before the much-anticipated kickoff of the Invictus Games. His arrival at Düsseldorf International Airport was a momentous occasion, with the world's eyes on him and his purposeful strides towards his next mission.

Accompanying the Duke was a vigilant security detail, led by none other than Chris Sanchez, a former US Secret Service agent renowned for his impeccable protective skills. Sanchez's involvement adds a layer of assurance to Prince Harry's safety during his time in Germany.

Sanchez's connection with the Duke and Duchess of Suss*x dates back to their relocation from the UK to the US in 2020. The couple, as part of their transition to non-senior royal roles, saw their official security stripped away, leaving them in a vulnerable position.

It was at this crucial juncture that Chris Sanchez assumed the mantle of their principal bodyguard, accompanying them on all their domestic and international journeys. Prior to safeguarding the Duke and Duchess, Sanchez served in the security detail of former US President Barack Obama, a testament to his exceptional expertise in protective services.

His seamless transition from presidential protection to royal security highlights his adaptability and unwavering commitment to his clients' safety.

Security Scare in NYC

Sanchez's role in ensuring the Duke and Duchess' security recently came into the spotlight during a 'near catastrophic' car chase incident in New York City in May.

The incident saw the Suss*xes embroiled in a high-speed pursuit through the streets of Manhattan, raising questions about their safety and privacy. The couple's spokesperson implied that paparazzi had recklessly endangered not only their lives but also the lives of others.

However, the police's official statement suggested that their journey back to their private accommodation had been "challenging," refraining from confirming any arrests. In a notable absence, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Suss*x, remained in the United States with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as Prince Harry embarked on his mission to support the Invictus Games in Germany.

However, fans need not fret, as the Duchess is scheduled to join her husband during the Games, promising a heartwarming reunion for the couple amidst the backdrop of inspiring athletic competition. Prince Harry's arrival in Germany marks the latest chapter in his post-royal journey, and with Chris Sanchez at the helm of his security detail, the Duke's safety remains paramount as he continues his philanthropic endeavors through the Invictus Games. Stay tuned for the latest updates as the Games unfold and the Duke and Duchess of Suss*x reunite on this global stage.
