The re-evaluation of Prince Harry's access to police protection during UK visits has brought him back under scrutiny. This follows a recent legal case in May, which Prince Harry lost, where he sought the reinstatement of his police protection when visiting the UK. Prince Harry expressed concerns about his family's safety in interviews, stating his hesitation to return to his home country under current security conditions.

 

The Home Office is now reviewing whether Prince Harry should receive full police protection on UK visits despite no longer being an active royal. Sources close to Prince Harry believe this review was overdue. The Sun reports that the reassessment of his threat level is already underway, with a decision expected next month. King Charles has only briefly met his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations and has not seen them since.

 

Prince Harry’s security arrangements were downgraded after he stepped back from royal duties in 2020, relocating to the US. His legal challenge earlier this year targeted the decision-making process of the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures committee (Ravec). They decided his visits would warrant security assessments on a case-by-case basis, which his legal team contested, claiming a failure to reassess threats adequately.

 

The court ruling upheld the process, dismissing claims of "inferior treatment". A judge noted that Prince Harry’s feelings of grievance did not provide grounds for a successful appeal, leaving him without the guaranteed high-level security accorded to senior royals. After the ruling, Prince Harry described his devastation and deemed future UK visits with his family "impossible".

 

The courts had thoroughly reviewed the matter, leading to consistent conclusions, as noted by Buckingham Palace. A government spokesperson emphasised the rigour of the UK's protective security system and its policy of maintaining confidentiality around arrangements, reported the BBC.

 

 

Key Takeaways

 

• Prince Harry's request for full UK police protection is under review.
• His security status was altered after stepping down from royal duties in 2020.
• A decision on his future security is expected next month.

Live in America and face the dangers inherent when guns are easy to get. No British bodyguards needed if in America. Hire one there. 

No guns in the UK so why have a bodyguards? Stabby stabby people don't attack Rolls Royce's.

A spoiled child who won't take No for an answer.

 

The sooner he is stripped of the title like Uncle Andrew, the better. He should take his lying valley girl wife and her awful vocal fry back to Cali and stay there. 

He is either a royal with all the goodies or not. He cannot resign and still expect the goodies.

Especially when he's put himself in danger by bragging (lying) about all the kills he made in Afghanistan in that nasty little moanfest, Spare.

 

Personally, I think refusing him security is a great way to keep him out of the country.

the deal was you had Ellen and we had ginger and whinger

 

Ellen is coming back so by rights you should take back Haz Been. Especially now he been talking bad about trump on talk shows 

 

kick him out Don

Harry's brainpower is limited I'm afraid. 

As I see it, Harry can have as much security in the UK as HE wants to pay for.

 

However he does not seem to want to pay with his own money, but he does want the security protection that the UK taxpayers will have to pay for.

 

For someone who does not work or even live in the UK, that is a bit over the top.

 

Very few people like or want him there, so if he wants to come, let him pay for the security out of his own pocket.

Harry wants UK police protecting him because they have access to security data and they can carry guns.

 

Unfortunately for him, the UK police are not available for hiring as private security.

 

He doesn't want to do the work of a working royal but he wants all the benefits. I feel his pain. I was similarly disappointed when my previous company refused to keep paying me my salary and letting me use the company car for 5 years after I quit. It was just so unfair of them. 😃

Why not bring his own security when he visits the UK.

I think that he makes enough money to pay for that.

He's worth about 50/60 Million.

I'd bet his legal team is more expensive than hiring his own security.

Harry has gone up in my estimation. The manic obsession of far right media to hound his poor wife has reached stupid levels.

I'm not a monarchist by any stretch, they should slowly fade away. As one royal dies, let there be no further hand me down titles.
