Watch: What’s behind the decision to review Harry and Meghan’s UK security?

The security arrangements for Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are poised for an official reassessment following their return to reside in the United Kingdom. This review will specifically examine the provision of their publicly-funded security detail. The decision to initiate this re-evaluation comes as the couple establishes their new living arrangements within the UK, prompting a fresh look at the protocols governing their protection. Their security status has been a subject of considerable public and private discussion since their stepping back from senior royal duties, with questions previously raised about the extent and funding of their protection when not engaged in official royal functions. The upcoming review is expected to delve into these aspects, considering all relevant factors that determine the level of security afforded to non-working members of the Royal Family and how it will be financed by the taxpayer going forward. The outcome of this assessment will shape the future framework for their safety and protection while they are based in the UK.
