Prince Harry is still awaiting the outcome of a long-running dispute over his UK security arrangements. After he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the United States, a government body determined that his police protection would be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Harry later challenged that decision in court but lost his appeal last year. Even so, reports now claim a fresh review is nearing completion, raising hope within his team that full protection may be restored.
If approval is granted, Meghan is expected to join Harry at the Birmingham event, continuing her visible support for the Invictus Games, the international sporting competition he founded for wounded and injured service personnel. Sources close to the couple say they prefer to attend major engagements as a family whenever possible, noting that Meghan has previously joined Harry at similar countdown events in Canada and Germany. Harry is also said to hope that King Charles will formally open the 2027 Games, with invitations to senior royals likely once planning advances.
