Overview

  • Ravec has initiated the first formal reassessment of Prince Harry’s UK threat level since 2020, with a decision expected in January.
  • Sources say Harry privately asked Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood for a comprehensive review covering himself, Meghan Markle, and their two children.
  • Harry previously lost a court bid to restore automatic police protection, and his UK security has since been handled on a bespoke, case‑by‑case basis.
  • The duke has argued he cannot safely bring his family to Britain under current arrangements, and Meghan and the children have not visited since 2022.
  • Reaction is divided, with Jennie Bond calling the review a “big win” for Harry while other commentators allege he seeks greater UK visibility to bolster his brand, and some speculate about possible knock-on implications in the US if automatic protection were granted.
