Prince Harry is likely to regain U.K. security.

In the aftermath of Harry’s five-year battle to receive taxpayer-funded security, the U.K. government is reportedly shifting into his favor — potentially paving the way for greater reconciliation in the royal family.

The Duke of Sussex and his family lost their U.K. police protection after he stepped down as a working royal in 2020 — a decision he unsuccessfully challenged in court — but a recent review found that Harry now meets the criteria for taxpayer-funded security during visits to the U.K., per People.

“It’s now a formality. Sources at the Home Office have indicated that security is now nailed on for Harry,” insiders told the Daily Mail on Sunday.

In May, a senior judge dismissed Harry’s appeal for publicly funded police protection, leaving him with lower-level protection for his family provided only on a case-by-case basis.

The decision, Harry said during a candid interview with the BBC, left him feeling “devastated.” He noted that the long-running legal dispute had worsened the strain on his family relationships and claimed his father, King Charles III, “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.”

When questioned over whether he asked the king to get involved in the legal dispute, Harry responded, “I never asked him to intervene — I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.”

Harry added that, in light of the ruling, he “can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point.”

“I miss the U.K., I miss parts of the U.K., of course I do,” he added. “I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”

After giving up their royal duties, Harry and his wife, Meghan, relocated their family to California, and rarely visit the U.K. Meghan’s last visit to the U.K. was in September 2022, for a trip of charity events, which got extended to attend the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.

The couple’s two children, Archie and Lilibet, last visited the U.K. in June 2022, for the late queen’s Platinum Jubilee event.

During Harry’s most recent visit to the U.K. in September, a “known stalker” got close to the prince during a charity event and later came “within feet” of the prince during an event two days later.

If Harry regains publicly funded security, it could open up greater opportunities for reconciliation with the royal family, particularly for bringing Meghan and their children for visits.

“I would love reconciliation with my family,” Harry told the BBC in May. “There’s no point continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has. … But it would be nice to reconcile.”

King Charles revealed he was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024, and he is currently undergoing treatments, which moved “into a precautionary phase,” the monarch shared in December.

In September, Harry reunited with his father in the U.K. for the first time after 19 months, but according to the BBC, the prince will not visit his father during his next trip to the U.K., later this month.

After the visit with his father, Harry told The Guardian this year his “focus really has to be on my dad,” adding that he is “definitely … closer” to a visit home with his children.
