Prince Harry has won his fight for automatic taxpayer-funded armed police protection when he visits the UK, according to sources close to the Sussexes.

A ruling in the duke’s favour, expected to be announced within weeks, could allow for a reunion between King Charles and his grandchildren Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, who live in the US.

Sources close to the Sussexes told The Mail on Sunday that the reinstatement of armed security has been assured after a fresh risk assessment was carried out for the royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec). They said: ‘It’s now a formality. Sources at the Home Office have indicated that security is now nailed on for Harry.’

The decision to reassess the risk followed a letter the duke wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood in September calling for such a reappraisal.

Harry was provided with police protection for one day only on a trip to the UK that month, for a children’s charity event.

A female stalker, who had previously made threats online, was able to access a secure zone there. Harry was said to have felt ‘abandoned’ two days later when – without police protection – the same woman got within ‘a stone’s throw’ of him at another engagement and attempted to approach him.

It fell to a member of the duke’s private staff, who was ex-Army, to step in and protect him. His timely intervention, where he managed to body-block the woman, was one of several security lapses that were included as evidence to be flagged to the risk management board which advises Ravec.

The duke, 41, has consistently argued that the UK is not safe for him and his family to visit without 24-hour armed protection.

His lawyers have argued that the withdrawal of security has left his life ‘at stake’.

In the letter, he asked Ravec, a Home Office committee, to ‘abide by its own rules’, which state that the risk-management board should assess each member of the Royal Family and other qualifying VIPs every year.

Harry’s last risk assessment was carried out in 2020, before he withdrew from royal duties. In May last year he lost a High Court battle that would automatically reinstate police protection but a fresh review was carried out last month.

According to sources, risk management board members have now decided that the duke does meet the threshold for protection – leaving Ravec with little choice but to approve his request. A source said on Saturday: ‘The only thing that could scupper his approval now would be an intervention from the Palace.’

That, however, seems increasingly unlikely given signs of rapprochement between the duke and his father. Charles is said to be very keen to meet his Californian-based grandchildren on home soil again. The King last met Archie and Lilibet when they visited the UK as part of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in February 2022. At that time Archie was two and Lilibet was six months old.

Ravec includes security officials from the Home Office, the Metropolitan Police and the Royal Household, who work together to advise the independent chairman on who should be given protection and the appropriate level.

The Home Office has legal responsibility for the committee’s decision and successfully opposed the duke’s appeal last May.

A source close to the Sussexes said: ‘We aren’t taking anything for granted. Obviously given he’s the King’s son it is the right thing to do, but it’s about everyone being able to save face and the risk management board is the common-sense way to do that.’

Harry has always claimed that the correct procedure was not followed when he and his 44-year-old wife Meghan were stripped of their automatic right to police protection on return trips to Britain.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘If you knew about the kind of threats Harry and his children have been getting then you would understand why he doesn’t want to bring the kids over until police protection is granted.’

Meghan is not expected to join Harry on a visit to the UK next month, when he is set to give evidence in a court case involving Associated Newspapers.

A spokesman for the Sussexes said: ‘We can’t comment on security matters.’ A government spokesman said: ‘The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.’

Across New Jersey, more than 1,100 wild birds — mostly Canada geese — have been reported dead or dying in just a matter of days. Officials suspect highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu), though testing is still underway. Images of lifeless geese scattered across lakes and fields have prompted precautionary park closures in Gloucester County, including Betty Park and Alcyon Park. Residents are being warned: do not approach sick or dead birds. Experts say the risk to humans remains low — but the scale of the die-off is raising alarms. Bird flu has already spread to poultry, dairy cattle, and even other mammals in recent years. And history shows that the more the virus circulates, the greater the chance of spillover.

In Hainesport Township, families are waking up to dead geese and ducks scattered across sidewalks, porches, and even school bus stops amid a suspected bird flu outbreak spreading through South Jersey. One mother says her son watched a goose “fall right out of the sky” into their backyard — a moment she calls traumatizing. State officials report more than 1,100 sick or dead birds statewide in just days, and parks in Gloucester County have already shut down. But in Hainesport, neighbors say they’ve been told disposal is their responsibility — armed with gloves, masks, and trash bags. One resident claims he bagged 18 dead geese in a single day… with dozens more still in his yard.

After analyzing nearly 500 feline tumors across multiple countries, researchers found the same cancer-linked mutations seen in human blood, lung, bone, skin and even breast cancers. One mutation — FBXW7 — appears far more often in cats than in people, but when it shows up in humans, outcomes are worse. Here’s the twist: common chemotherapy drugs like vincristine may slow those tumors in cats — potentially offering a faster, real-world testing ground for treatments that could later help human patients.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — brother of Charles III and once one of the most privileged men in Britain — was arrested this week in a stunning twist tied to the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files. For the first time in nearly 400 years, a British royal has been taken in for questioning. The message from the Palace? “The law must take its course.” No titles. No deference. Just “a man in his sixties from Norfolk” released under investigation. Across the Atlantic, though, the picture looks very different. While authorities in the UK move forward, critics say accountability in the U.S. still feels out of reach — even after document dumps, public pressure, and years of unanswered questions surrounding Epstein’s powerful circle.

Chaos erupted in the stands — and then something extraordinary happened. Inside the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, gunfire shattered a youth hockey game as Robert Dorgan opened fire on his own family. But as panic spread and fans scrambled for cover, a handful of bystanders did the unthinkable — they ran toward the shooter. Michael Black thought the shots were popping balloons… until he saw the gun. He told his wife to run — then lunged, jamming his hand into the weapon to stop it from firing. Others piled on. A chokehold. A desperate struggle. Blood on the bleachers. Seconds that felt like forever. Police say those “courageous citizens” likely prevented even more deaths. Now Black is being called a hero — but he says he doesn’t feel like one. What drove ordinary spectators to risk everything in that split second… and how much worse could this have been if they hadn’t?

BI00d on the ice. 💔 At the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, what should have been a routine high school hockey night turned into a nightmare. Authorities say 56-year-old Robert Dorgan opened fire, killing his ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan and their son Aidan before taking his own life — leaving three others critically injured. But this wasn’t random. His daughter, Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, says it was a calculated “vendetta” against their own family. She was in the stands with her young sons when the shots rang out — and says a split-second act of heroism saved their lives. A long trail of family conflict, court battles, and bitter disputes now raises chilling questions about what led to this explosion of violence.

In Minnesota alone, more than 100 refugees were reportedly arrested in recent weeks before a federal judge stepped in to halt detentions and order releases. A broader court fight is looming — one that could reshape how refugees are treated nationwide. With refugee admissions already slashed and new reviews underway, thousands could be affected. They came to the U.S. legally, fleeing persecution. Now many are asking: after surviving everything else… are they about to face detention here?
