Overview
- Insiders say a December review by RAVEC concluded Harry and his family qualify for armed, state-funded protection during UK visits.
- The Home Office has not confirmed any change, stressing that security decisions are rigorous and operational details are not disclosed.
- A reported autumn incident in London, where a woman breached security areas and approached Harry on two days, triggered the reassessment.
- Reinstated police-led cover would make it easier for Harry to bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to Britain, enabling longer and more frequent visits.
- King Charles’s planned US state visit in April has prompted questions about a meeting with Harry, though experts say a detour is unlikely, and Harry is due in London this month for his High Court case without plans to see the King.
