Reports Indicate Prince Harry Set To Regain Automatic UK Police Protection

A fresh Home Office risk review is reported to have cleared him for taxpayer-funded armed police cover, with a formal decision expected within weeks.

Overview

  • Unnamed sources from the Sussex camp and the Home Office say a RAVEC reassessment has concluded in Harry’s favor, though officials have not confirmed the outcome.
  • If implemented, the arrangement would provide automatic, round-the-clock armed police protection during his visits to Britain at public expense.
  • Supporters suggest enhanced security could allow Harry to bring Archie and Lilibet to the UK, potentially enabling a reunion with King Charles.
  • Harry lost automatic protection after stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and later lost a legal appeal in 2025, leaving visits covered on a case-by-case basis with advance notice.
  • Palace insiders and commentators warn that restoring automatic cover for a non-working, non-resident royal could set a contentious precedent and raise concerns over taxpayer costs.
