Overview

• Harry has formally written to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and submitted a request to Ravec for a new risk assessment, according to sources and the Home Office.
• Sources close to the duke say he wants an annual Risk Management Board review reinstated, noting his last such assessment was in 2019.
• The Home Office confirmed receipt of his request but reiterated its longstanding policy of not commenting on individual security arrangements.
• His appeal over taxpayer-funded police protection was rejected in May, leaving him on a bespoke, visit-by-visit system that typically requires about 30 days’ notice.
• Reports describe a “known stalker” coming within feet of him during a September UK trip and say Metropolitan Police officers voluntarily provided security for part of that visit, while royal sources warn the renewed push could complicate reconciliation with the King.
