A royal commentator has suggested that the Duke of Sussex and the Royal Family could be taking early steps toward repairing their relationship, after reports claimed Harry has finally won his fight to regain security protection while visiting Britain.
The 41-year-old prince has been locked in a high-profile legal dispute with the Home Office since losing his entitlement to taxpayer-funded police protection. That decision was made after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from royal duties and moved to the United States.
Harry has consistently argued that without official protection, it is unsafe for him and his family to travel to the UK, making it “impossible” for Meghan and their children to visit his relatives.
In May 2025, the duke suffered a major setback when he lost an appeal aimed at restoring his security. Speaking afterward, he blamed what he described as a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up.”
A Major Turnaround
However, fresh reports now suggest the tide has turned. A Home Office review has reportedly concluded that Harry does meet the criteria for automatic armed police protection, meaning his security will be reinstated.
