Prince Harry’s UK Security Reinstatement On ‘Positive’ Path

Prince Harry edges one step closer to setting things straight with the royal family!

The father-of-two may likely get back his security in the United Kingdom following a thorough review by the government after he lost an appeal over the same issue last year.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, alongside their son, Prince Archie, dashed out of the U.K. in 2020, after resigning from their royal roles.

Sources close to the situation have shared that things are heading in the right direction toward Harry getting his full armed security installed in the U.K.

Additionally, insiders expressed that an official review has also affirmed that the royal meets the requirements for inclusion in the security arrangement, which taxpayers fund.

The royal and vip executive committee (Ravec), which is made up of the government’s Home Office, the Metropolitan Police, and the royal household, reportedly carried out a risk assessment.

From their evaluation, insiders noted that they discovered the criteria to grant Harry and his immediate family top-level security in the United Kingdom had been met.

The Home Office is also reportedly on board to get the security reinstated. As noted by PEOPLE, there is an established belief that if any external factor does not interfere with the process, Harry will get armed guards and other security benefits assigned to him when he was a working royal.

The Netflix Star is expected to return to the United Kingdom later in the month for an ongoing court case against Associated Newspapers. The lawsuit extends to Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, and Mail Online, which are all affiliated with Associated Newspapers.

Beyond that, the review and eventual reversal if it falls through may finally create an avenue for the Netflix star and his two kids to reunite with King Charles, who is still battling cancer.

The last time the Prince was in the United Kingdom for charity events in London and Nottingham last September, he reportedly had a brief reunion with his father. However, the visit was overshadowed by reports that filtered out in October that a female stalker was on his trail the entire time he was in the U.K.

As stated by The Blast last September, sources close to Harry and Charles described the reunion as a genuine one, which witnessed lots of tears and emotions from the duo. The insiders continued that the Prince brought along framed pictures of Charles’ grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, to share with the King.

A spokesperson, however, clarified that the framed photograph handed over to Charles did not contain pictures of the Duke and Duchess. Harry’s visit came a year and a few months after he made a quick trip to the United Kingdom to be with Charles following the revelation of his cancer diagnosis. 

Meanwhile, the Invictus Games founder debunked claims that his visit to Charles was awkward and felt very formal. Harry’s camp insisted that he was treated as one of the royals and a family member, rather than a stranger who lost touch with the base.

Harry spent a chunk of last year in court slugging it out with the U.K. government in his appeal for them to reinstate his security in the country. The media personality’s security detail was withdrawn after he left the U.K. for California alongside his family after a protracted battle with the media.

After his appeal was tossed out, The Blast shared that Harry said this: “I can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point.”

He continued that he would greatly miss his time in the country and expressed disappointment in the fact that his children would not get to experience what it felt like to grow up in the country as he did.

He accused the security committee of downplaying his security by reducing him to a low-risk entity from a previous high-risk without a proper examination of the situation.
