Reports of Close Approaches to Prince Harry Intensify Security Scrutiny

The episodes have reignited debate over his loss of automatic police protection after stepping back from royal duties.

Overview

  • Prince Harry’s spokesperson declined to discuss the matter, saying they do not comment on security issues.
  • The Telegraph reported that a woman described as a fixated individual came within feet of Harry on two occasions in London during his September visit.
  • A security source told Fox News Digital there was no police presence at the encounters and that two private staffers intervened.
  • Following his 2020 step-back, Harry’s protection is determined case by case under a bespoke Home Office approach that expects advance notice, and he lost a High Court bid to restore automatic cover.
  • Commentary split this week, with some arguing the Sussexes are not entitled to taxpayer-funded protection and others suggesting the incidents could increase pressure on the King to revisit the arrangement.
