US EditionHome Office ‘to review decision to strip Harry of protection’
The UK Home Office has initiated a new security review for Prince Harry following his appeal loss, with a decision expected in January based on evidence from multiple sources.
- On Dec. 8, the U.K. Home Office ordered a fresh threat assessment and the Royal and VIP Executive Committee instructed its Risk Management Board to reassess Prince Harry's protection, with evidence collection underway and a decision expected next month.
- After stepping down in 2020, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex lost automatic 24-hour police protection and launched legal challenges, including a letter to Shabana Mahmood, Home Secretary, for a new threat assessment.
- Currently Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex must inform the Metropolitan Police 30 days in advance, while the Risk Management Board collects evidence from police, government and his team for the first full assessment in nearly six years.
- A decision to reinstate police cover could require taxpayers to fund Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex's security in the UK and allow Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, to visit King Charles III.
- Courts previously concluded Harry's grievances lacked grounds for appeal, Buckingham Palace said 'All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.', and security experts suggested the move may reflect new intelligence.
