The security committee is expediting the risk assessment process as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face serious security concerns. It was previously believed that the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) had already decided on Harry's police protection before the family's move, though the decision was not shared with the Duke of Sussex. The committee stated it would need to review arrangements for occasional visits or a permanent return to the UK. Prince Harry had repeatedly petitioned the UK Home Secretary, and action appears to have finally been taken.
According to a report by People Magazine, Meghan will also undergo an official risk assessment imminently alongside Prince Harry. Last week, the RAVEC chairman informed them that a new risk assessment for Harry and a separate one for Meghan would be commissioned. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were asked to provide their schedules, including daily routines such as dropping off their children - 7-year-old Prince Archie and 5-year-old Princess Lilibet - at school, to assist in the decision-making process.
This development comes as Harry and Meghan recently pulled their two children from their UK school due to security risks. RAVEC has yet to announce a final decision as deliberations continue.
Security analysts suggest that providing detailed itineraries and personal schedules remains a standard procedure for high-profile individuals under state protection. Both the Duke and Duchess have emphasized the necessity of foolproof security measures whenever they travel to Britain with their family.
