The UK Government says it has a "rigorous and proportionate" security plan as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to move back from the United States. It comes as reports emerged that the couple's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will attend a British school in September.
Planned return to the UK
According to the Daily Telegraph, Harry and Meghan are planning a move back to Britain, six years after they moved to the US. As reported by Express, the pair and their two children are anticipated to relocate later this month to a non-royal residence, thought to be outside London.
Government response
In response to the news, the Home Office stated: "The UK Government's protective security system is 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."
Security decision-making
The Home Secretary does not have a hand in security arrangements for members of the royal family or other significant public figures. Security decisions fall under the remit of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec). Ravec's membership comprises the Home Office, Metropolitan Police and royal household, who collectively advise the independent chair in decision-making. Their advice is guided by expert risk assessments and in accordance with Government policy.
