Prince Harry has recently reached out to UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to address his security concerns. The Duke of Sussex has formally requested the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) to conduct a risk-assessment process overseen by the Home Office. This evaluation determines the level of protection for royals and VIPs based on risks such as terrorism, extremism, and stalking.
Following his reunion with King Charles in London last month, Prince Harry expressed his desire for reconciliation with his family. Currently residing in California with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry has urged Ravec to follow its protocols and conduct a risk management board (RMB) to assess the necessary protection measures during his visits to the UK.
According to sources close to Prince Harry, while acknowledging that this may not be an immediate priority for Ms. Mahmood, he emphasizes the importance of conducting the assessment promptly. The Times reported that the Home Office has received requests for assessments but refrained from commenting on individual cases, citing the confidentiality of protective security arrangements.
Prince Harry had previously raised concerns about the lack of a formal security assessment after stepping down as a senior royal. Despite his legal efforts to reinstate security measures, including an unsuccessful Court of Appeal challenge, he expressed reluctance to bring his family back to the UK due to security issues.
During his recent UK visit, a known stalker of Prince Harry attempted to approach him on two separate occasions but was intercepted by private security. As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle settle in the US, the Mirror has introduced a Royal WhatsApp community to provide the latest news on the royal family directly to subscribers’ phones.

Amid security concerns, a female stalker breached a “secure zone” at a hotel where Prince Harry attended an event, and later was spotted near him at another venue. Identified as a “fixated individual,” she had a history of following the Sussexes, even being seen during their visit to Nigeria in 2024.
