Prince Harry Scores Major Win in Ongoing Campaign To Restore Official UK Security

Prince Harry’s access to state-funded security when he visits the UK is reportedly undergoing a full-scale review, following a long-running dispute over the Duke of Sussex’s safety. The decision signals a major win for the 41-year-old royal, who has stated repeatedly that he does not feel safe bringing his children, 6-year-old Archie and 4-year-old Lilibet, without full security cover. Prince Harry’s UK security was downgraded in 2020 after he and wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from frontline royal duties and moved to the U.S. The committee which authorizes security for royals, diplomat, and VIPs, concluded that since Harry would be an infrequent visitor to the UK, his security needs would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
