BREAKING NEWS: Prince Harry security bombshell as new update issued
The Duke of Sussex will have his case reviewed again, reports claim.
Prince Harry’s security in the UK is under a new review by the Home Office following his return to Britain, reports have claimed. The Duke of Sussex brought his family back to his homeland on Thursday for an “extended” stay that could reportedly last from a few months to a few years. Harry, Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet flew into the country on a private plane from California shortly before midday on Wednesday, landing at Birmingham Airport.
The family were said to have travelled on a Bombardier Global Express XRS luxury long-range business jet for the overnight flight. They arrived without armed police protection.

Now, according to the Mirror, the Home Office is “actively assessing” Harry’s case again, after the duke said to have pleaded with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood for answers regarding his security.
Harry lost a legal battle against the Home Office over the security arrangements for him and his family while in the UK, after his level of protection changed when he stopped being a working royal.
Last month, the duke’s long-awaited risk assessment took place on the orders of the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec).
But after the Sussexes’ return this week, sources claimed the “goalposts have moved”.
The outlet noted that the Home Secretary has not decided whether Harry and Meghan’s right to taxpayer-funded security should change.
A Government source said: “Officials have been asked to make a new assessment now that the family in question have chosen to reside in the UK.
“Any recommendations will be made in due course.”
The Telegraph reported that the family was not granted a publicly funded police convoy for the journey to their new home and that they are currently being supported by their own private protection team.
Harry previously insisted it was too dangerous to bring his wife and children to the UK with the security he was entitled to post-Megxit.
