UK Government Reviewing Prince Harry's Security Amid Ongoing Threat Assessment Controversy
The British government has launched an investigation into the security arrangements for Prince Harry during his visits to the UK, a move that comes as part of the ongoing review of the royal's threat level. According to sources, Prince Harry had submitted a formal request for a risk assessment to the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which oversees the Home Office's protective security system.
This development is not surprising, given the controversy surrounding the Rivec committee's decision on Prince Harry's security level. In May, Prince Harry lost his high court challenge against the dismissal of his appeal to have a different level of taxpayer-funded protection while in the UK. The royal had argued that it was "impossible" for him to bring his wife, Meghan, and their children to the UK safely.
The controversy surrounding Prince Harry's security arrangements began after he stepped back as a senior royal and moved to Canada with his family. He had filed a complaint against Ravec, citing the committee's decision on his security level as a major concern. The Home Office has now ordered a threat assessment for the first time since 2020, which is expected to be completed by next month.
The review of Prince Harry's security arrangements comes after a concerning incident during his previous visit to the UK in September. On two occasions, a "known stalker" came within feet of him on the street. The Daily Telegraph reported that this incident highlighted the risks involved in providing taxpayer-funded protection for the royal family while they are in the UK.
A government spokesperson has declined to provide further details about Prince Harry's security arrangements, citing concerns about compromising their integrity and affecting his safety. However, the ongoing review of the royal's security level is likely to have significant implications for those responsible for his protection.

I'm not entirely surprised that the UK government is reviewing Prince Harry's security, but I do think it's a bit late in the game 
. I mean, we've had issues with his security for years now, and it seems like they're finally taking action. But I do wonder if this review will actually lead to any real changes 
.
And how much of an impact will this review have on the public's perception of the royal family and their security arrangements?
.
what's going on with prince harry's security anyway? it seems like a lot of unnecessary drama considering he's already made it clear he doesn't want the public's attention all the time... meanwhile, other royals just keep getting their security levels increased and nobody bats an eye 
. It's been a wild ride watching him try to balance royal life with the realities of being in public eye - like what even is considered "public" anymore? 
. And can we talk about the fact that there's actually a special committee dedicated to protecting royals? Mind blown 
like what even was up with that stalker incident in sept? i mean i get it the royal family has had some weird stuff go down but come on 2 feet away is a bit too close for comfort 
and i'm not a fan of all this secrecy, should be more transparency on how they're handling this situation 
. btw, have you seen this vid on the stalker incident during prince harry's visit to the uk? [
They can't just sweep it under the rug, especially with all the stalker drama that went down last year. 
It's not like Prince Harry's gonna let some random person come at him or anything...he's got an entourage for a reason, right? 
And what about Meghan and the kids? They're basically stuck in this security limbo forever. 
I feel bad for them...I hope they can get some answers soon. 
. The fact that they're doing an investigation into his security arrangements feels like a no-brainer to me 
. And what's up with the Rivec committee, anyway? It seems like they're making everyone's life harder than necessary 
.
so i think its weird that prince harry has to request a risk assessment like hes some kinda commoner lol 
but serious though why cant they just make sure his family is safe? its not like he's walking down the street alone or anything 
anyway this whole thing is kinda stressful for me bc my aunt is friends with one of those palace staff and she always talks about how crazy it gets there 
... it's like, you're trying to live your best life with your fam and they can't even keep you safe without freaking out the whole country 
. I get that security is a big deal but it's also about him being able to enjoy his time in the UK with his loved ones without all this drama surrounding him.
