Home Office Orders Fresh Threat Assessment of Prince Harry’s U.K. Security

RAVEC’s Risk Management Board is collecting evidence ahead of a decision expected in January.

Overview

  • The reassessment is the first since Harry’s automatic police protection was removed in 2020 after he stepped back from royal duties.
  • The move follows an October request from Prince Harry to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood for a new risk evaluation.
  • Reports say RAVEC is taking evidence from the duke’s team, police and government sources as part of the review.
  • Under current rules, Harry’s security is determined case by case and he must give the Metropolitan Police 30 days’ notice before U.K. visits.
  • Officials reiterated they will not disclose operational details, and reporting says any outcome could affect whether taxpayer-funded protection is restored during visits.
