Overview
- RAVEC has instructed its Risk Management Board to re-evaluate the duke’s threat level, with evidence being gathered from police, government and Harry’s team.
- A decision is expected in January 2026, and officials say they will not provide operational details for security reasons.
- Since 2020, Harry has not had automatic taxpayer-funded protection and instead receives case-by-case cover that typically requires 30 days’ notice for UK visits.
- The review follows his loss at the Court of Appeal in May, which upheld RAVEC’s lawful move to bespoke arrangements.
- Harry has said the lack of full protection prevents him from bringing Meghan and their children to the UK, and outlets report the reassessment could facilitate future family visits.
