Prince Harry is facing six alleged terror plots against him, five of them originating in the UK, according to a highly sensitive report prepared by his private security team.
The confidential document, first revealed by ITV and later confirmed by GB News, was submitted to Ravec — the committee that decides state-funded security for senior royals and politicians — ahead of the Duke of Sussex’s planned trip to Britain next week.
One of the most serious threats mentioned is an Al-Qaeda document reportedly calling for Harry’s assassination.
Harry is preparing to return to the UK for several engagements, including events marking one year until the Invictus Games in Birmingham in July 2027. However, he has not yet decided whether Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, will join him, as he reportedly still considers Britain unsafe for his family.
The February risk assessment, compiled by a US security firm hired by the Sussexes, identified at least six threats from jihadist and far-right actors. According to the report, the biggest danger comes from “stochastic terrorism” — attacks carried out by radicalised individuals acting alone.
Records from the Metropolitan Police show nearly 500 potential stalkers linked to threats against the Royal Family, with around half having shown concerning behaviour toward Harry, Meghan, and their children. His security team is currently tracking 28 people believed to pose serious stalking risks.
More worrying, the whereabouts of four convicted individuals linked to terror threats against Harry are reportedly unknown to his security team.
The report says security risks for Harry and Meghan are significantly higher in the UK, where most of the most serious threats have originated. One major threat surfaced in 2023, when the Federal Bureau of Investigation alerted Harry’s team to intelligence involving an extremist threat shared on a private Telegram channel.
Harry’s name was reportedly mentioned because of his two tours in Afghanistan with the British Army in 2007 and 2008.
The report also details other alarming incidents, including a 2023 attempted break-in at the couple’s Montecito home by a man carrying a hammer and duct tape.
Earlier this year, a woman known to the Met’s threat assessment unit also breached security twice to enter a High Court courtroom while Harry was giving evidence.
Harry lost automatic police protection after stepping back from royal duties in 2020. While annual security reviews were reportedly promised after the move to California, none have taken place since.
His private security can travel with him internationally but cannot carry firearms in Britain. The report argues this leaves his team unable to properly respond to armed threats and concludes that state-backed police protection is the only effective way to reduce the risk.
The assessment reportedly warns that Harry may now be the most vulnerable member of the Royal Family, noting that despite leaving working royal duties, he remains the son of King Charles III and still represents the Crown.
Sources close to Harry have also claimed that offices connected to King Charles III and Prince William are represented on the nine-member Ravec committee, though Kensington Palace has denied that William has direct representation.
Harry has long believed senior royal aides oppose his access to state-funded security. Meanwhile, King Charles III, currently in Scotland, has not seen his grandchildren since 2022. Buckingham Palace says security decisions remain entirely a matter for the Home Office, which described its protection system as “rigorous and proportionate” but declined to comment on individual cases.
