Overview
- The move follows a letter Harry sent to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in October requesting a formal risk assessment, according to a source close to him.
- It is the first full threat assessment since 2020, and Ravec has tasked its Risk Management Board to lead the review, multiple reports said.
- Ravec’s current bespoke arrangement requires Harry to give 30 days’ notice for UK visits, with security decided on a case-by-case basis.
- A change could reinstate taxpayer-funded armed police protection when he is in the UK, depending on the outcome of the reassessment.
- Harry lost an appeal in May over the removal of his automatic 24/7 protection, and the government says it will not disclose operational security details.
