Inside Prince Harry’s ‘desperate’ bid to resolve UK security chaos | Royal | News

But doubts were raised last week after it was revealed that the Executive Committee for the Protection of Copyright and Public Domain (RAVEC) had “paused” the independent Risk Management Board (RMB) without any explanation. The Duke of Sussex’s office is said to have been previously informed that this would be resolved in March.

Harry’s spokesman said he “continues to explore every option available to ensure the visit proceeds safely and gives his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK.”

Speaking about the security issue, one royal commentator, who described the situation as “chaotic”, said the Sussexes had only themselves to blame.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News: “On the one hand, it is really interesting that the review that Ravec promised after lobbying the Home Secretary last December has not happened.

“This has always been a red line for him after the tragic death of his mother.”

He added: “The mistake here is that the Sussexes planned this so publicly – the gulf is deep.”

The King has reportedly offered Harry and Meghan a royal residence for their upcoming visit, but it’s an offer the couple has yet to respond to. It is understood that security will be included in the accommodation.

The family have not visited the UK together since June 2022, and the visit coincided with Lilibet’s first birthday. Meghan has also not traveled to the UK since September 2022.
