Prince Harry Urges Action as Antisemitism Surges in the UK

Prince Harry has sounded the alarm over a sharp rise in antisemitism in the UK in a recent opinion piece for a leading magazine. He warns that anger over conflicts abroad is being dangerously conflated with prejudice against British Jews. Highlighting recent deadly attacks on Jewish worshippers in Manchester and London, Harry stresses that targeting a community is “something far more corrosive” than a call for justice. He draws parallels between antisemitism and rising anti-Muslim hatred, insisting they all stem from the same “well of division.” He also reflects on his own past mistakes, reminding readers that responding to injustice with more hatred only deepens the divide. Official figures show nearly 3,700 antisemitic incidents recorded in 2025, with every month exceeding 200 cases for the first time. Anti-Muslim crimes have also surged, prompting the UK government to raise its terror threat level to “Severe” and boost security funding for religious sites. The prince’s strong stance marks a shift from royal neutrality and calls on the public to stand firmly against all forms of religious hatred.
