Earl Spencer advocates for taxpayer-funded security for Prince Harry

Earl Spencer has expressed support for providing taxpayer-funded police protection for Prince Harry following the Duke of Sussex's return to the United Kingdom. Speaking to the BBC, Spencer noted his concerns regarding the safety of the fifth in line to the throne, particularly after witnessing the death of his sister, Princess Diana, under what he described as 'very, very avoidable circumstances.'

The decision regarding security arrangements rests with the Executive Committee for the Protection of the Royal Family and Public Figures (Ravec). The committee is expected to determine if the Sussex family is eligible for state-funded security based on their current residence in the UK. Prince Harry is currently awaiting the results of a threat analysis conducted by the Risk Management Board.

Security concerns have already impacted the family's daily life; the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently moved their two children to a new school after only two days due to safety considerations.
