• The review will assess risks and security needs for the couple and their children.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are to have their publicly-funded security reviewed by the UK's Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec). The committee, which includes representatives from the Home Office, police, and the Royal Household, will assess potential risks and the level of police protection needed for the couple and their children, Archie, aged seven, and Lilibet, aged five. This review comes as the family has returned to live in the UK full-time.

Separately, the Sussexes have changed their children's school only days after they started, due to security concerns related to the school run. Their private security team reportedly found the original route difficult to secure due to distance and heavy traffic. A source close to the couple stated that the decision was not a reflection on the school or the care the children received.
