Prince Harry is due to return to Britain later this month as the assessment continues
A security review linked to the Duke of Sussex’s upcoming visit to the UK has not yet been completed, according to a new report.
The update follows earlier claims suggesting police protection for Harry was already confirmed ahead of his return this month. However, sources quoted by GB News say no final decision has been made.
Citing government insiders, the outlet reports that the review is still being carried out by the relevant authorities. One source said there is no clarity yet on what recommendation the risk management board will make to the Royal and VIP Executive Committee.
“I have no idea what the RMB recommendation to Ravec will be, but neither does anyone else,” the source said. “The review is still underway.”
The same source suggested that reports claiming the decision was “nailed on” appeared to be an attempt to influence public perception rather than reflect reality. They added that the process remains fair, rigorous and very much ongoing.
The latest development comes after Harry’s long running legal battle with the Home Office over automatic police protection ended in defeat in May 2025.
One source recently told a Sunday newspaper that only intervention from the Palace could now derail approval. Palace sources have firmly rejected any suggestion of behind the scenes involvement.
Harry last visited the UK in April for a court hearing linked to his challenge over changes to his security arrangements following his decision to step back from royal duties. He lost that case a month later.
Separately, the Duke of Sussex is one of several high profile figures, including Elton John, bringing legal action against Associated Newspapers over alleged unlawful information gathering dating back decades. The publisher, which owns the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, has consistently denied the claims and previously dismissed them as baseless.
