The Duchess of Sussex may return to Britain this summer to attend an Invictus Games event scheduled for July 10. Her last visit to the UK was in September 2022 for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The decision depends on the outcome of a security review tied to an assessment of Prince Harry's threat level. The Duke is seeking an upgrade to taxpayer-funded security that he says would allow his wife and children to travel to Britain safely.
Known details:
- The Duchess is said to hope to join the Duke at the Invictus Games event on July 10.
- Attendance will depend on a security assessment and a review by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec).
- Ravec instructed its risk management board (RMB) to reassess the Duke's security needs for the first time in nearly six years.
- The Duke currently must give the Home Office 28 days' notice of travel to Britain and has taxpayer-funded police protection for some public activities.
- No final decision has been announced about changes to security or whether the Duchess will travel.
- The couple have attended Invictus Games since 2017, and the July event marks a one-year countdown to the 2027 games in Birmingham.
Summary:
Any change to the Duke's security arrangements would affect whether the Duchess and their children can travel to Britain for the July event. The assessment will be presented to Ravec, which is expected to decide shortly.
