Prince Harry denied UK security as Meghan and children’s visit thrown into doubt
Prince Harry will not get security when he travels to Britain next month casting doubt on whether he will bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet.
The Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) has turned down requests for protection just a week before he is due to arrive for a string of engagements.
Harry, 41, wants to bring Meghan to the UK and his two children for the week-long trip where they also planned to meet the King and visit the final resting place of Princess Diana.
Harry will still come but the arrival of Meghan and the children has been thrown into doubt and is being reassessed after the decision by RAVEC.
Media first revealed a Risk Management Board was being convened to discuss Harry’s security case after he lost his High Court bid to return his 24 hour security.
But it is believed no meeting has taken place and now RAVEC has determined no security will be provided.
An offer from the King for Harry and his family to stay at a royal home believed to be Buckingham Palace is still on the table.
It comes just 24 hours after sources close to the Sussexes confirmed Harry would bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to the UK next month.
Harry wants to take his children to meet the King, it is understood.
A source said: “Harry is reassessing things. Ultimately, he is going to do everything he can to find a way to bring them over safely.”
Media revealed earlier today that Harry has been planning to take his children to Althorp, in Northants, to visit his mum’s final resting place.
Harry was 12 and his mum Princess Diana just 36 when she died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
She was buried on an island at her ancestral home Althorp House in Northamptonshire.
Diana’s grave site — at the centre of the ornamental lake known as The Oval and within Althorp Park’s Pleasure Garden — is off-limits to the public.
Harry has visited her resting place several times and regularly sends bouquets of flowers to be placed by her grave.
The Duke took Meghan there in 2022 — some 25 years after Diana’s death — but their kids Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, have yet to see it.
The chance comes as California-based Harry and Meghan bring them to the UK next month for events marking the countdown to his Invictus Gamesnext year.
