Prince Harry is reportedly confident that his request for automatic armed police protection during his visits to the UK will be granted, as per sources close to him and Meghan. After a legal battle, a decision in the Duke of Sussex’s favor is expected to be announced soon.
Previously, Harry lost a case against the Home Office to reinstate his automatic police protection following his and Meghan’s departure from royal duties. However, recent developments indicate that his security arrangements are under review, with a formal request made for a risk assessment by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec).
Sources close to the Sussexes have revealed that the Home Office is now likely to approve security for Harry following the risk assessment. In his previous court case, Harry expressed concerns about the safety of bringing his family back to the UK due to his security situation.
Despite his love for the UK, Harry stated that it is currently unsafe for him to return with his family. A known stalker’s recent proximity to him during a UK visit highlighted the security risks he faces, prompting the need for police protection before bringing his children to the country.
Both the Sussexes’ spokesperson and a government representative declined to comment on the matter, emphasizing the confidentiality of security arrangements for individuals. The ongoing security review is expected to result in Harry regaining armed protection during his UK visits.
