HARRY AND MEGHAN COULD RETURN TO US IF SECURITY BID FAILS — ROYAL EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON SUSSEXES’ NEXT MOVE

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have only recently returned to Britain with their children — but their future in the UK is already being questioned as a fresh review of their security arrangements gets under way.

Reports have suggested the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could consider returning to California if they are denied publicly funded police protection.

That possibility has been discussed by several royal commentators, although there has been no confirmation from Harry or Meghan that they plan to leave Britain.

The security question itself, however, is very real.

Following the family’s return to the UK on August 26, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, known as RAVEC, agreed to conduct new risk assessments for both Harry and Meghan. It is the first such assessment for Meghan since the couple stepped down as working royals in 2020.

‘AKIN TO BLACKMAIL’, RICHARD EDEN CLAIMS

Royal commentator Richard Eden has reacted strongly to reports that the Sussexes could leave Britain if the review does not result in automatic police protection.

Speaking on Palace Confidential, Eden described the reported possibility as “akin to blackmail”, arguing that it could be seen as an attempt to place pressure on the security review.

The reports he was discussing originated with claims that friends of the Sussexes had suggested they could leave the UK if a Home Office review refused them automatic police protection.

Eden also raised a wider question over what could happen if Harry and Meghan were granted a level of protection that extended beyond Britain.

“The implications of this are massive,” he said, arguing that it could potentially affect their security arrangements when travelling overseas.

His comments are his own interpretation of the reported situation, rather than a confirmed description of the Sussexes’ intentions.

THE SECURITY REVIEW IS NOW UNDER WAY

Harry has been fighting over his UK security arrangements since he and Meghan stepped down from royal duties and moved to the US.

The couple lost automatic taxpayer-funded protection after leaving the working Royal Family, and Harry subsequently challenged the decision through the courts.

His latest return to Britain has changed the circumstances being considered.

RAVEC has now commissioned fresh risk assessments for both Harry and Meghan, taking into account the fact that they are living in the UK with Archie and Lilibet and that their children have started school there. The committee has also asked the couple to provide information about their schedules and daily routines.

Importantly, the review does not guarantee an increase in protection.

ITV reported that the new assessments simply mean the situation is being reconsidered following the family’s move from California.

ANGELA LEVIN DELIVERS HER OWN BLUNT VERDICT

Royal commentator Angela Levin has gone even further in her criticism of the reported possibility of a US return.

Speaking to TalkTV, she described the alleged position as “blackmail”, arguing that Harry and Meghan should not expect taxpayers to fund their security simply because they have chosen to return to Britain.

“If they do go back, I’d be delighted,” Levin said, while also questioning why the British public should pay for their protection.

Her remarks are commentary rather than evidence that the Sussexes have actually issued such an ultimatum.

HARRY AND MEGHAN ALREADY PAY FOR PRIVATE SECURITY

Since leaving royal life, Harry and Meghan have relied on privately funded security when travelling and living in the US.

Their return to Britain has renewed questions over the limits of that arrangement.

Harry’s private security personnel cannot carry firearms in the UK and do not have access to intelligence held by British security agencies, according to ITV.

The family has also kept the location of its British home and children’s school private.

Their children were moved from their first British school after just two days following discussions between the family and its security team about the practicalities of the arrangements and the journey involved.

COULD CALIFORNIA BECOME HOME AGAIN?

For now, the answer remains unclear.

Harry and Meghan continue to have a home in Montecito, California, and Harry has already returned to the US for public engagements since relocating his family to Britain.

But there is no confirmed announcement that the couple intends to abandon their new life in the UK.

What is certain is that security remains one of the biggest unresolved issues surrounding their return.

RAVEC must now assess the family’s circumstances and determine what level of protection, if any, is appropriate.

Until that process is complete, speculation about another transatlantic move is likely to continue.

For a couple who spent six years building a life in California before unexpectedly returning to Britain, the outcome of the security review could become one of the most important factors in determining what comes next.
