Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has stated that security arrangements for Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, when they are in the United Kingdom are a "private matter." This comes as the couple is expected to relocate from the United States later this month.
Prince Harry and Meghan plan to move from their U.S. residence to a non-royal private home located outside of London. This move is anticipated for September, when their children, Prince Archie, aged seven, and Princess Lilibet, aged five, are scheduled to begin attending a British school.
Last year, Prince Harry initiated a legal challenge concerning the level of security his family is entitled to while in the United Kingdom. The court's decision in that challenge has influenced ongoing discussions about their protection during visits.
The couple has been living in the United States since stepping back from their roles as senior royals. Their residency and security needs in the UK have been a subject of public and official scrutiny. While the prime minister has emphasized the private nature of these arrangements, the family's impending return and enrollment of their children in a UK school bring the issue to the forefront.
