The individual, who had previously issued online threats, breached a “secure zone” while Harry was attending an event for the children’s charity WellChild. Notably, this incident occurred on a day when the Duke had been granted police protection.
Just two days later, during a separate visit to Imperial College London, the same stalker reportedly attempted to approach Harry again and was stopped by a member of his private security team.
These incidents are understood to have prompted Ravec to initiate the new risk assessment.
Long-Standing Safety Concerns
Prince Harry has consistently argued that he and his family — wife Meghan Markle, 44, and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4 — are unsafe in the UK without police protection. He has cited persistent online abuse and intense media scrutiny as key factors behind those concerns.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from senior royal duties in January 2020 and now live in California.
