Requiring Prince Harry to give notice before traveling to the UK

He asked Prince Harry to give the UK Home Office one month’s notice that he would be traveling to Britain so they could determine if he needed a security plan.

According to a report by The Telegraph, after the security request is submitted, it is up to the Home Office to determine the level of security measures required since the Duke of Sussex “backed out” of working for the royal family in 2020.

Prince Harry responded to this request, saying, “I would like them to give an example that someone else has left” public duty, has the same threat assessment as me, and has received no security..I was born into this family and the threat will never decrease because of my status in what It’s about family.”

He also criticized the arrangements for his family’s visit to Britain in June 2021 to commemorate Diana, Princess of Wales, as “incomplete and insufficient”.

Details of the dispute between the Duke and the Home Office over his future security arrangements have been revealed in legal documents relating to Prince Harry’s defamation claim against The Mail, which hinges on an alleged “false claim” of his willingness to pay out of his own pocket for police protection in the UK. .

According to his lawyer, the 28-day notice imposed by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Kings and Public Persons (RAVEC) may threaten his safety, “impede their ability to plan and manage his security arrangements, and that the actual arrangements may be inadequate and put him at risk”.
