Prince Harry's latest visit to the UK has reignited the long‑running row over his security, after royal commentators argued that his quiet reunion with King Charles in Gloucestershire earlier this month proved the prince can travel safely without the full police protection he has been demanding.
Prince Harry lost his publicly funded UK security detail when he stepped back as a working royal and moved to North America with Meghan Markle in 2020. Since then, he has repeatedly said he does not feel safe bringing his wife and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, back to Britain without specialised police protection, and has taken legal action to challenge the Home Office committee known as RAVEC, which oversees royal and VIP security arrangements.
