According to royal expert
Jennie Bond,
Prince Harry and his family should win back their protection detail. "He is still
King Charles III's son, still fifth in line to the throne, and most pertinently, still a former army officer who served and killed in Afghanistan. He and his family are obvious targets," she told
The Mirror.

Despite not working for The Firm,
Prince Harry is still a member of the royal family. "I think it would be the correct decision to restore his security. As he has consistently argued, nothing has changed about the threat level he faces," Jennie Bond said.

The U.K. government is currently reviewing
Prince Harry's request for protection, but it seems likely that he'll win the court battle. "It's now a formality," an insider told
Daily Mail. "Sources at the Home Office have indicated that security is now nailed on for Harry."

Since leaving England in 2020,
Prince Harry,
Meghan Markle and their two children have rarely visited due to their lack of security. "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point," he told the
BBC.
