The Duke of Sussex’s security arrangements while visiting the UK are reportedly to be reviewed after a direct request from him to the home secretary.

Prince Harry, who lost a high-profile legal claim against the government over the decision to remove his right to automatic taxpayer-funded police protection, wrote privately to the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, requesting a full security risk assessment.
