A spokesman for the Duke declined to comment, but there were believed to be concerns in his camp that the decision would “again be influenced by politics” rather than security and “the realities of the situation”.
Last year, he lost a legal challenge in which he had argued that he was entitled to an official risk assessment to determine the threat level against him. His last full risk analysis was in April 2019, when he was deemed such a target that he was put in the highest risk category.
The Duke described his court defeat as a “good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up” and blamed the royal household for influencing the decision to reduce his protection.
He said the decision had an impact “every single day”, and had prevented him from bringing Meghan and their children to the UK. After losing his appeal he wrote to Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, asking for the decision to be reconsidered.
About two months later, it emerged that he had been granted a security review by the Risk Management Board, the expert body that submits its findings to Ravec. Having submitted all the requested documentation, the Duke is awaiting a decision from the committee.
