00:00Prince Harry wins first security review in six years, wife and two kids still barred from UK.
00:07Prince Harry returns to London for a high-stakes legal battle over government security,
00:11potentially reopening the door for his family's return. In May 2025, the UK Court of Appeal
00:17rejected Harry's bid for taxpayer-funded armed protection, ruling his arguments lacked legal
00:22merit and ending a lengthy legal battle. In September 2025, a stalker breached security
00:28at two public events Harry attended, transforming his abstract security concerns into tangible threats
00:34with undeniable evidence of danger. Approval of armed protection could allow Harry to bring
00:39Meghan and their children to the UK. Without it, Harry says visits remain impossible,
00:44leaving Archie and Lilibet largely disconnected from Britain and extended family. The Royal and
00:50VIP Executive Committee oversees threat assessments and security decisions, led by an independent
00:55chair. The Home Office agreed to reassess Harry's security after court-exposed gaps,
01:00stalking incidents, and pressure to rely on updated intelligence. Harry's security reassessment
01:06remains ongoing as of January 2026. His UK trial, beginning January 19th, may influence the review,
01:13with heightened exposure strengthening arguments for restored protection. Security decisions rest on
01:19independent threat assessments amid palace home office tensions. Analysts are cautiously optimistic,
01:25and restoring protection could allow Harry to visit King Charles during his ongoing cancer treatment.
01:30Ravek's pending decision may end Harry's six-year security fight and set a precedent for non-working
01:36royals, contrasting past security outcomes for Beatrice, Eugenie, Andrew, and Anne's children.
01:42Harry's documented extremist threats could justify restored security despite precedent, while his U.S.
01:48immigration status remains under court review following Freedom of Information Act requests tied to
01:54disclosures in spare. Harry's U.S. residency is separate from the U.K. Security Review, but restored
02:00protection could enable Meghan's return. Harry says adequate security would validate his claims and
02:05allow family reunification in Britain. The case tests how the monarchy handles security for non-working
02:11royals, balancing executive authority, new evidence, and public scrutiny, potentially shaping future
02:17family reunification or continued separation.
