Overview
- This week the UK Government decided not to extend police protection beyond royal residences and a Home Office RAVEC reassessment was paused, leaving official security for the trip unresolved.
- Prince Harry is reconsidering whether to bring Meghan and their two children to the UK and is said to be exploring other options to keep the family safe while on the ground.
- Meghan’s As Ever Instagram account posted a photograph captioned “A hint of lavender. Coming soon,” a teaser that has been reported as suggesting a lavender honey product but not formally confirmed by the company.
- Reporting says the children were not expected to attend public events and that the visit was to combine Invictus-related engagements with private family time, including a possible meeting with the King.
- Critics and unnamed palace sources have accused the couple of courting drama for commercial gain, the Home Office has defended the rigour of its protective-security system, and the dispute could affect whether planned Invictus and family meetings proceed.
