The Duke of Sussex has been in a legal battle with the UK Government after he contested Ravec’s February 2020 decision that when he returned to the UK following his departure from the Royal Family.
Ravec stands for the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures and brings together representatives of the Home Office, Metropolitan Police and the Royal Household to review security arrangements for royals and VIPs.
Harry lost the case in February, with High Court judge Sir Peter Lane finding that “there has not been any unlawfulness in reaching the decision” to revise his security. However, .
Now a royal expert said his determination is “embarrassing” for the monarch, who further finds the duke’s alleged claims that he can intervene “infuriating”.

Royal correspondent Richard Palmer wrote for : “The King is said to find it embarrassing that his son is taking legal action against His Majesty’s Government.
“He is also said to find it infuriating that Harry claims his father is in a position to overturn the decision to refuse him guaranteed police protection.
“‘He’s the King, he could sort that out any time he wants,’ one source in Harry’s camp claimed.”
Mr Palmer went on to explain that although some courtiers sit on Ravec, they “do not hold sway on the committee”.
He added that when Harry returns to the UK, it will be unlikely that he will bring his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with him unless he is granted police protection – a prospect that, according to the expert, has “no sign of a deal”.

The expert concluded: “The chance of King Charles seeing his grandchildren, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, remains remote for the time being.”
Harry has previously said he “does not feel safe” bringing his family back to the UK without police protection.
His legal team said in a statement back in 2023 on behalf of the duke: “The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US.
“That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.”
