Good Morning Britain brought an update on the safety of Prince Harry on Thursday morning – and it wasn’t looking good for the royal. The ITV breakfast show shared that Harry is due to return to the UK next week, but his life is thought to be under threat.

According to ITV News, the broadcasters have seen a confidential security report claiming the Duke faces six terrorist threats, five of which allegedly originate in Britain. The report, prepared by the Sussexes’ private security firm in February, also argues that Harry’s protection officers are prevented from “adequately responding to an armed attack” while he is in the UK. It concluded that the risk to the Duke and Duchess’s safety is “much higher in the UK because it is where the majority of the most serious threats have originated.”

The report outlined some of the risks, including senior Al Qaeda leaders reportedly threatening the assassination of the Duke of Sussex. It also explained how a known stalker had managed to get into the courtroom when Harry gave evidence at the High Court in January.

It is unclear at this point whether or not his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, will be joining him or whether he will be coming alone. Either way, the Duke and his family will not get state-backed security.

However, former Metropolitan Police specialist operations detective, Philip Grindell, told GMB: “There is absolutely no way in the world that if the UK authorities thought that there was a genuine, current, credible terrorist threat against him and his family that they wouldn’t be providing that armed security.

“It is written from a perspective of bias to support the Duke’s desire for armed protection.”

Buckingham Palace has said that King Charles, who has not seen his grandchildren since the summer of 2022, cannot get involved, as “all issues of security are a matter for the Home Office.”
