Overview
- Multiple outlets report that the RAVEC assessment has found Prince Harry meets the threshold for automatic armed police protection, with formal approval expected within weeks.
- The fresh review followed Harry’s letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and incidents in September 2025 when a known stalker entered a secure zone at a WellChild event and later approached him at Imperial College London.
- If approved, the change would reverse the practical effect of his May 2025 High Court loss and replace case-by-case arrangements that require about 30 days’ notice for visits.
- Sources close to the Sussexes say reinstatement could enable Meghan and their children to travel to the U.K. and potentially see King Charles, while cautioning only a Palace intervention could still derail it.
- The Home Office says it will not disclose operational details of protective security, and Harry is expected in the U.K. later this month for his legal case involving Associated Newspapers.
