Overview
- Multiple outlets report a Home Office-ordered RAVEC review has found Prince Harry meets the threshold for taxpayer-funded armed protection during U.K. visits.
- A government spokesperson said the protective security system is rigorous and proportionate and declined to disclose arrangements, and a Sussex spokesperson also declined to comment.
- Prince Harry is expected in London later this month for the opening of his High Court case against Associated Newspapers over alleged unlawful information gathering.
- He is not expected to meet King Charles during the brief trip, with reports citing the monarch’s desire to avoid links to active legal proceedings and his likely stay in Scotland.
- Commentators say a security reset could facilitate future family visits with Archie and Lilibet, though several experts suggest Meghan may be reluctant to return due to a hostile reception.
