Harry's mum: I'm more at peace now

THE MOTHER of motorcyclist Harry Dunn, who was knocked down and killed by a former US spy, has said she feels “a lot more at peace” on the fourth anniversary of his death.

After fulfilling her promise to get him justice, Charlotte Charles told how her anger with both the UK and US governments’ handling of the case “still bubbles”. But she spoke of her pride as she said “they picked on the wrong family”.

Harry was 19 when a Volvo, driven on the wrong side of the road by US citizen Anne Sacoolas, smashed into him outside RAF Croughton, in Northants, on August 27, 2019.

Diplomatic immunity was asserted on behalf of Sacoolas by her employer, the US State Department, and she was able to leave the country 19 days after the fatal collision.

After a “relentless and tiring” campaign by Harry’s family, the 45-year-old finally appeared before a High Court judge at the Old Bailey via videolink late last year and pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.
