Prince Harry’s legal battle over UK security has taken a significant step forward, with sources claiming he may be planning major moves to establish independent royal operations upon his returnPrince Harry on the Stephen Colbert ShowPrince Harry reportedly has big plans in place

Prince Harry has made a significant stride in his ongoing mission to secure official protection in the U.K., potentially laying the groundwork for him to safely journey to England with his family. The Duke of Sussex’s legal fight has seen a hopeful turn, as he has been granted a review of his case.

Sources speaking to Cosmopolitan suggest that Harry might be plotting some big moves upon his return to the United Kingdom. Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop hints that the prince is preparing for “a fully functioning royal court in Britain” that will “rival” his brother Prince William.

An insider alleges, “He’s been playing the long game. Harry wants legitimacy. He wants to operate in the U.K. on his own terms-meetings, charitable work, high-level engagements-without being treated like a guest in his own country.”

Another source elaborates that for Harry: “This isn’t just about security. It’s about creating a separate royal ecosystem. He’s building a court, and he’s doing it carefully.”

The insider’s remarks imply that the Duke of Sussex is aiming to carve out his own realm of influence within the Royal family.

A third source asserts:

“William has his court. Harry wants his. This isn’t about a return to the family-it’s about competing with them.”

An insider shared, “The security decision is just the first domino. Once it’s in place, Harry can quietly expand his influence without anyone really noticing-until it’s too late.”

King Charles III yet to see grandchildren since Platinum Jubilee.

His Majesty, King Charles III, has not had a chance to see his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, since the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.

Harry insists that it isn’t safe for his family to travel back to the UK without adequate security measures.

A government representative commented, “The UK government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate.

“It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.”
