Overview
- The government has initiated a formal threat assessment by RAVEC into the duke’s protection when in Britain, the first such review since 2020.
- RAVEC’s Risk Management Board has begun gathering evidence from police, government officials and Prince Harry’s team, according to multiple reports.
- A decision is reported to be due in January 2026, while officials reiterate they will not disclose operational security details.
- The move follows Harry’s May court loss that upheld case-by-case protection after he stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
- Harry maintains the current system prevents him from safely bringing Meghan and their children to the UK, and any restored 24-hour armed cover during visits would be taxpayer-funded.
