Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said this is because he is still the King’s son, he is still in the line of succession, and he had served in Afghanistan.

Speaking to The Mirror, Bond said: “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.

“He is still the King’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."

It is believed that when a decision is made within the next few weeks about Harry’s security entitlement in the UK, this will not only impact the prince, but his children too.

This is because the duke, 41, has consistently argued that he feels the UK is too unsafe to bring his wife Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, to.

However, if he gets his police protection back, it is believed Harry’s solo visits to the UK may be no more, and instead he could be joined by his family, who usually stay behind at their Montecito mansion.

This will no doubt be welcomed by King Charles, who is reportedly upset by the lack of contact and connection he has with his grandchildren in America.
