Ravec, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, has carried out a new risk assessment and concluded that Prince Harry now meets the criteria for official police protection. The decision follows renewed concerns about his safety during visits to Britain.
Court Battle and Initial Setback
King Charles’ youngest son attended a two-day court hearing last May, where his legal team argued that his life was at risk without state-backed security. At the time, Harry, now 41, lost his case after Ravec ruled that he was no longer entitled to police protection because he is not a working member of the royal family.
Following that ruling, Harry was said to be “devastated” and accused the Royal Household of having influenced the outcome.
Stalker Incidents Raise Alarm
In September, the Invictus Games founder wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood after a stalker managed to get within a “stone’s throw” of him during a visit to London, according to The Independent.
