Overview
- Ravec has directed its Risk Management Board to carry out the first full reassessment of Prince Harry’s threat level since 2019.
- Evidence is being gathered from police, government and the duke’s team, with findings expected to be presented to Ravec as soon as next month.
- A revised assessment could pave the way for restored armed, taxpayer-funded protection and make family visits to the UK more feasible.
- Harry lost his legal appeal in May over the removal of automatic police protection but later wrote privately to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood urging a review.
- Reports cite multiple convictions over threats against him, and former counter-terror chief Neil Basu has called the failure to reassess earlier a mistake, warning the risk has likely increased.
