The Duke of Sussex is reconsidering plans to bring his wife and children to the UK next month
After announcing details of the UK visit, Prince"s team was told no police protection would be provided for the family
The prince's team had been waiting for the result of a security review by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec), which decides on the security provision for senior royals for the Home Office.
A government spokesman said its protective security system was "rigorous and proportionate".
"It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals' security," the spokesman added.
Harry and Meghan accept King’s invitation to stay in royal residence
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex will return to the UK in July alongside their two children in their first family visit in four years. This visit raising hopes of a potential rapprochement with the rest of the royal family.
Early Prince Harry and Meghan had already accepted an offer to stay on a royal estate during the trip as a guest of King Charles.
The royal residence they will use has not been made public.
The Sussex family had previously been offered accommodation on the royal estate for any potential visits, a palace source previously told CNN. And this is the first time the family has accepted the invitation after the shock move to step back from royal life in 2020 and relocated from the UK to California, USA.
The exit kickstarted a long-running and public rift with the royal family.
Harry has made several trips to the UK, and Meghan joined him for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. Harry came alone to his father King Charles III’s coronation in 2023.
The Prince reunited with his father for the first time in 19 months in September last year, with Charles and Harry sharing a private tea at Clarence House. The face-to-face meeting came as King Charles underwent treatment for cancer, and triggered speculation that the royal family’s long-running rift might be coming to an end.

The visit starts with Invictus related events in London where Meghan will also join him. Their children are not expected to attend any public engagements, and details about their private time are not being shared.
