Overview
- A new RAVEC risk assessment of Prince Harry’s UK protection is underway, with a decision expected soon, and government sources say the review is not yet finished.
- Multiple outlets report Harry plans to invite King Charles to open the Birmingham 2027 Invictus Games, and sources say the King is considering the idea, though no invitation or acceptance has been confirmed.
- Friends of Prince William, cited by the Daily Beast, are said to oppose a high‑profile Invictus role for the King and want the palace to knock back the plan.
- Meghan Markle may join Harry in the UK for July’s one‑year‑to‑go Invictus events only if his taxpayer‑backed police protection is restored, with those close to the couple stressing security as the deciding factor.
- Harry is due in London on Jan. 19 to give evidence in his case against Associated Newspapers and is not expected to meet the King during that visit, while separate reports suggest an unconfirmed offer of Highgrove as secure lodging.
