Overview

• Prince Harry wrote to new Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood shortly after her appointment and lodged a formal request for a Ravec risk-management assessment.
• Sources close to the process say he wants Ravec to follow its rule for annual reviews, noting his last risk-management board assessment was in 2019.
• Home Office sources confirm requests have been made but say government policy prevents comment on individual cases, and his protection remains case-by-case with advance notice required.
• The Court of Appeal dismissed his bid to restore full-time police protection in May, with the ruling describing Ravec’s approach as understandable.
• Reports from his September UK visit describe a known stalker coming within feet of him on two occasions, though a source says his letter predated those incidents.
