Security for Harry and Meghan’s UK return: a private matter, says Burnham

BBC reports that Prince Harry and Meghan plan to move back to the UK, with security arrangements on their return described as a private matter by PM Burnham. The couple would relocate to a private, non-royal residence outside London; their children are enrolled in a British school. There are no stated plans for the couple to resume working royal duties, and it remains unclear what security provisions will be in place or who will fund them, following Harry’s prior legal challenge over protection levels.

Harry’s UK trip faces security snag as family plans hang in the balance

Prince Harry remains keen to travel to Britain on July 7 to support the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 and hoped to bring Meghan and their children, but Vanity Fair reports that RAVEC will not provide full-time police protection for the visit. A Home Office spokesman said security policy hadn’t changed, and King Charles has offered accommodation at a royal residence (likely Buckingham Palace) where protection would apply, but it wouldn’t be continuous as the family moves between engagements. RAVEC has begun a fresh risk assessment with no conclusion yet. The trip is expected to include events with the Invictus Games Foundation in London and Chelsea, but it’s unclear whether Meghan and the children will accompany him.

"Prince Harry Withdraws Libel Claim Against British Tabloid Publisher"

Prince Harry has withdrawn his libel claim against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday newspaper over an article about his security arrangements, citing a focus on his family's safety. The claim was related to a 2022 article that accused him of misleading the public about paying for police protection. Harry's spokesperson stated that he wanted to prioritize his case against the British government over the decision to strip him of automatic police protection in the UK. This decision comes after he lost a bid to have the paper's defense thrown out, and he will now be responsible for paying the paper's costs and his own fees.

Prince Harry's Legal Challenge Against Mail on Sunday Fails

Prince Harry has been unsuccessful in his attempt to strike out the Mail on Sunday's defence to his libel claim against the paper. The high court ruled that the paper's story suggested Harry sought wide confidentiality restrictions and attempted to mislead the public. Harry argued to strike out the defence of honest opinion, but the judge rejected his claim, allowing the defence to be deployed and the case to proceed to trial. The Mail on Sunday may argue that Harry's public statements were misleading and successfully confused the public. Harry's libel action against Associated Newspapers is expected to go to trial next year.
