The development marks a major turning point after years of legal setbacks. In 2024, Prince Harry returned to the UK for a two-day court hearing in a last-ditch appeal against the government’s decision to remove his automatic police protection. In May, the Court of Appeal unanimously ruled against him, stating he had not been treated unfairly when officials decided his security would be assessed on a case-by-case basis for each visit.
Despite that loss, Harry has continued pushing — and now, nearly six years after stepping back from royal life and leaving the UK, RAVEC has agreed to take another look at the risks surrounding him.
Under current rules, Harry must give the Metropolitan Police 30 days’ notice before traveling to Britain, allowing authorities to decide what level of protection, if any, he will receive during his stay.
Former royal correspondent Jennie Bond told The Mirror that a favorable outcome could remove one of the biggest obstacles keeping Harry away from his home country — and possibly bring his children with him.
