An insider has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on the brink of “changing everything” as a ruling for taxpayer-funded armed police protection looms.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex has reportedly won a Home Office review of his police security detail when visiting the UK.<\/p>\n

A friend of the royals claimed that “a win for Harry and Meghan would change everything”.<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex was furious when the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) removed his 24-hour armed protection in 2020 after he stepped down as a working royal.<\/p>\n

But the Home Office has requested a new assessment on the threat posed to the Duke – the first for five years, according to The Sun.<\/p>\n

The duke lost a bitter legal battle against the Home Office in May 2025 over whether he was still entitled to taxpayer-funded police protection after stepping down as a working royal.<\/p>\n

In a BBC interview following his unsuccessful court appeal to reinstate his 24\/7 security, Harry stated that there was “interference’ by the Royal Household in the 2020 decision. <\/p>\n

He claimed this caused him to suddenly change from being the most at-risk royal to the least threatened “overnight”.<\/p>\n

When asked which aspects of his current security arrangements made him feel unsafe, the duke replied: “Everything.”<\/p>\n

The Sussexes and their children are now residing in California, where their yearly security expenses reportedly amount to millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

However, restoring his security detail might enable Harry and Meghan to visit the UK more often. <\/p>\n

Harry said in the bombshell sit-down interview earlier this year that it would be “impossible” to bring the duchess and his children back to the UK after losing a legal challenge over the withdrawal of his security detail.<\/p>\n

The prince added that he still loved the UK “despite what some people in that country have done” and added that it was “really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland”.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, restoring Harry’s 24-hour armed police protection might motivate the royal to bring his children from across the pond.<\/p>\n

This might give them a chance to spend time with their grandfather, King Charles, whom they haven’t seen since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.<\/p>\n

While the Home Office does not routinely comment on the security details of high-profile individuals, it is rumoured that the process is already advanced.<\/p>\n

Statements are reported to have been taken from police, Government officials and Harry’s team.<\/p>\n

The latter are expected to mount a robust case for restoring his 24-hour armed security, with Harry reportedly writing to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to request a risk reassessment after she took over the role.<\/p>\n

According to the Mail, Ravec’s risk management board members have now decided that the Duke does meet the threshold for protection.<\/p>\n

Ravec now has little choice but to approve his request.<\/p>\n

“The only thing that could scupper his approval now would be an intervention from the Palace,” a source claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An insider has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are on the brink of “changing everything” as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":684796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[1281,447,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":{"0":"post-684795","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-meghan-markle","9":"tag-prince-harry","10":"tag-royal","11":"tag-royal-families","12":"tag-royal-family","13":"tag-royals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115865970475505868","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684795","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=684795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
