Duke of Sussex security to be reviewed

[bluegreygreen]

The Duke of Sussex lost his argument in the Court of Appeal in May for automatic taxpayer security: the current arrangement is that his security needs are assessed on a case-by-case basis provided he gives notice.

He has recently been in touch with the new Home Secretary, and the latest update is that RAVEC has asked its Risk Management Board (RMB) to reassess his threat level.

Those who are on official royal business will get armed protection when they are carrying out said business. The King and Queen and the Waleses will get it all the time, because they are the Head of State and the heirs respectively. Harry comes under neither of these categories. However, he will get security if he visits having given notice and if it is warranted. If he visits his father he will obviously get security whilst with him. Seems perfectly reasonable to me and to plenty of others who have commented previously 🤷‍♀️

Hi @smilesy

Yep, I know that, and I've even seen how it works first hand with one quite senior royal was travelling on official business...

@Raisondeetre is the poster who seems to have not been aware.

Nobody has ever been able to tell me exactly why these arrangements are not more than fair and reasonable. And it's not for the want of asking!

Yes. Sorry. Just quoted your post as it was referring to this
