\n\t\t\t\t\tA fresh risk assessment has reportedly determined that he now meets the threshold for official protection\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n

Prince Harry<\/a> could soon have his armed police protection reinstated for when he visits the UK, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Sources told The Mail On Sunday that Home Office insiders suggest security was \u201cnailed on\u201d for the Duke of Sussex, who lost a high-profile legal case against the Government\u2019s over his security being downgraded<\/a> in May.<\/p>\n

A fresh risk assessment <\/a>carried out for the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) has reportedly determined that Harry now meets the threshold for official protection.<\/p>\n

A source close to the Sussexes told the newspaper: \u201cIt\u2019s now a formality. Sources at the Home Office have indicated that security is now nailed on for Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is claimed a ruling to give him back automatic taxpayer-funded police protection will made in his favour in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry\u2019s protection was removed in 2020 after his decision to step back from his role as a working royal.<\/p>\n

Ravec, a organisation overseen by the Home Office, launched a new risk assessment after the Duke wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in September, and called for a reappraisal.<\/p>\n

Insiders close to Harry say that a reinstatement of armed security has been assured. One said: \u201cIt\u2019s now a formality. Sources at the Home Office have indicated that security is now nailed on for Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prince has repeatedly argued that it is not safe for his family to visit the UK without 24-hour armed protection.<\/p>\n

Currently he must inform the Metropolitan Police 30 days before arriving in the country in order to apply for a security review. The reviews are carried out on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n

Harry\u2019s lawyers have argued that his \u201cmanifestly inferior\u201d security has put his life \u201cat stake\u201d.<\/p>\n

Responding to the claims the protection is due to be reinstated, a Government spokesperson said: \u201cThe UK Government\u2019s 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\u2019 security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Harry\u2019s call for armed protection comes after he was targeted by a stalker who threatened him online.<\/p>\n

He was given police protection for one day on a trip to the UK in September where he attended a children\u2019s charity event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, and the woman was able to enter it via a \u201csecure zone\u201d,\u00a0The Telegraph\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Two days later, when he was without police protection during a visit to Imperial College London, she got within a \u201cstone\u2019s throw\u201d of him and attempted to approach him, it is claimed.<\/p>\n

It is alleged she was only prevented from doing so by a member of his private security team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A fresh risk assessment has reportedly determined that he now meets the threshold for official protection Prince Harry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7721,17015,7720,447,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-674182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","9":"tag-duke-and-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-meghan","11":"tag-prince-harry","12":"tag-royal","13":"tag-royal-families","14":"tag-royal-family","15":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115839251470204998","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
