Prince Harry, who will turn 40 this month, was back in the UK this week to attend the funeral in Sandringham of his mother’s brother-in-law Lord Robert Fellowes. It is therefore believed that the Duke of Sussex could meet with the rest of the royal family during his time in the UK – a milestone moment given the alleged tensions between them in recent years. “I am always privileged to attend the WellChild Awards and meet the incredible children, families and professionals who inspire us all with their strength and spirit,” Prince Harry announced in a statement. The visit is likely to fuel speculation that he will meet with his father, the King, and estranged brother, Prince William.

So Prince Harry talked of the downgrading in his security in terms of this family dispute, suggesting that the Royal Household had influenced the decision, using security as leverage to keep him within the Royal Family. There was also the lack of contact between his children and their wider family in the UK. He was “gutted” and “devastated” and tired of only coming home for funerals and court cases. Prince Harry looked upset, it seemed a cry from the heart when he said that his father “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff”, even though he didn’t know “how much longer my father has”.

Harry has argued that his private protection team in the US does not have access to UK intelligence information, which he says is needed to keep his wife and children safe. Prince Harry received full, publicly funded security protection until he stepped back from royal duties with wife Meghan in March 2020 and moved to the US. He released a lengthy statement in which he attacked Ravec for failing to do an annual risk assessment, saying legal proceedings “have revealed to me that this basic duty of care was not and is not applied to me”.

The prince said that, regardless of whether he is carrying out royal duties, the security risks he face remain the same – and have gotten worse in recent years. Prince Harry said there had been “so many disagreements” in the family, but the “only thing that’s left” is the row over his security – which he said had “always been the sticking point”. The “sticking point” for reconciliation is security when he visits the UK, said Prince Harry. And as well as calling on his father the King to help resolve this, he also called on the prime minister and home secretary to intervene. Harry is currently estranged from the Royal Family owing to his repeated public attacks on the Firm. He has given numerous TV interviews, written a bombshell memoir, and participated in a Netflix documentary about Megxit alongside his wife.
In 2012–13 he again was stationed in Afghanistan, where he served as a helicopter pilot. Like William, Harry attended a sequence of private schools before entering prestigious Eton College.

Ravec, which takes decision on behalf of the government, decided the prince would not automatically receive comprehensive security when in the UK as he stepped back from royal duties in 2020.

He is the younger son of King Charles and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, as well as the younger brother of Prince William.
