Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Receive UK Publicly-Funded Security Review Upon Return

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are set to have their publicly-funded security provisions re-evaluated should they establish permanent residency in the UK once more. The government confirmed that a review will be conducted to determine the appropriate level of protection.

This development comes after the couple’s decision in 2020 to step down as senior working royals and subsequently move abroad, primarily residing in the United States. At that time, their entitlement to automatic publicly-funded security was withdrawn, leading to arrangements for private security.

The specific parameters and timeline for this forthcoming review remain undisclosed. However, any such re-assessment would consider various factors, including the couple's status, public profile, and any potential threats, to ascertain the necessary security measures funded by the taxpayer.
