UK Orders Fresh Threat Assessment of Prince Harry’s Security

The move follows his failed court bid over police protection earlier this year.

Overview

  • Ravec has directed its Risk Management Board to reassess the duke’s threat level, with the process under way and a decision expected next month, according to multiple reports.
  • This is the first comprehensive review since 2020, updating arrangements set after Harry stepped back from senior royal duties.
  • Harry requested the reassessment in a letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood shortly after her appointment, a source close to him said.
  • Under current practice, he must notify the Metropolitan Police about 30 days before any UK visit and seek a case-by-case security review, The Times reported.
  • A government spokesperson said the protective security system is rigorous and proportionate and declined to discuss individual arrangements; a September visit reportedly saw a known stalker come within feet of the duke, The Telegraph reported.
