Overview
- A fresh RAVEC risk assessment, initiated after Harry’s September letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, has reportedly concluded he meets the threshold for official protection.
- Sources close to the Sussexes call reinstatement a formality and say the only potential obstacle would be an intervention from the Palace.
- The review drew on two September incidents involving a known female stalker, including access to a secure zone and a near approach when he was without police protection.
- Government and Sussex spokespeople declined to comment, with the Home Office reiterating it does not disclose protective security arrangements.
- If confirmed, Harry would move from 30‑day notice, case‑by‑case reviews to automatic taxpayer‑funded armed police cover during UK visits, while Meghan and the children are not expected to join his imminent trip for ANL court proceedings.
