Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Sussex-linked sources and unnamed officials, report a reassessment that would restore automatic armed police protection for Prince Harry on UK trips.
- An official announcement has not been issued, with a decision expected within weeks as the Home Office and RAVEC decline to discuss operational details.
- Since stepping back in 2020, Harry’s security in Britain has been handled case by case, a policy he failed to overturn in a High Court appeal in May 2025.
- Supporters say a positive ruling could enable Harry to bring his children to the UK more easily, potentially facilitating time with King Charles.
- Critics, including veteran royal commentators, warn that taxpayer-funded protection for a non–working royal would be contentious and could set a far-reaching precedent.
