Risk Assessment Highlights Six Alleged Terror Plots
A 40-page confidential assessment by Prince Harry’s private security team, submitted to the UK Home Office at the request of the Royal and VIP Executive Committee’s Risk Management Board, identifies six alleged terrorist plots against the Duke of Sussex, five UK-based. It warns a public attack could become a mass-casualty event and says state-backed security is the only way to mitigate residual risks.
Security Context Since 2020
Harry and Meghan stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020, at which point their taxpayer-funded protection was reduced. Since moving to the United States they have relied on private security, and Harry says his protection has not been reviewed for six years.
Threat Data Summary
- Six alleged plots (five UK-based); 262 suspicious entities tracked as of Dec 2025, 10 % linked to dangerous stalking; a 2023 Montecito break-in where a man entered the Sussex home with a hammer.
- Invictus Games will return to Birmingham in July 2027, the first UK edition since 2014.
Government Response
The Home Office forwarded the assessment to the security committee RAVEC, which decides on taxpayer-funded police protection for royal visits. Media reports say RAVEC denied Harry’s request for full police protection for the upcoming trip. No comment was obtained from the Home Office or the Sussex representatives.
Sources of Opposition
The report cites an al-Qaeda document calling for Harry’s assassination and a royalist narrative labeling him a ‘traitor,’ indicating additional hostile motives.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
All sources repeat six plots, but verification details are undisclosed. Neither the Home Office nor the Sussex office has confirmed the findings, and the criteria for denying protection remain unknown.

Upcoming Plans
Harry and Meghan are slated to travel to the United Kingdom next month for the Invictus Games countdown. Whether additional family members will accompany them depends on the security assessment and the lack of state-backed protection. A further RAVEC review could determine police involvement for the July 2027 Games.
