Prince Harry is hoping for more family reunions with King Charles and has reignited his security protection quest, HELLO! understands.
The Duke, 41, is said to be feeling “buoyed” and “energised” after his children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, reunited with their grandfather for the first time in four years earlier this month.
Harry is “hoping” for future reunions between his family in the UK and will continue in his bid for taxpayer-funded security.
A source tells HELLO!: “He will pursue it until RAVEC agree to enact the terms of reference that were made clear in front of a judge in the judicial review. It’s about the Home Office doing what they committed to in court.”
That includes convening a Risk Management Board to assess threats against him. HELLO! understands Harry has not undergone one for seven years.
Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, had their automatic police protection removed when they stepped down as working royals in 2020.
When is Prince Harry next visiting the UK?
Prince Harry will next be in the UK for the WellChild awards in September, which he attends every year.
The Duke will also travel to Britain for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, after marking the one-year-to-go events earlier this month.
Harry came to London solo without his family due to security concerns, and did not stay at Buckingham Palace after his acceptance of an offer of accommodation came too late.
Meghan had been scheduled to join him for events in Birmingham, but did not end up attending any public-facing events.
However, she was present for the private family reunion at Highgrove in Gloucestershire at the end of the week.
The family had been holidaying in Europe together prior to visiting the UK.

It comes after Harry wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and submitted a formal request for a risk assessment to RAVEC, a source close to the Duke said last October.
During court proceedings in December 2023, Harry said in an emotional statement: “The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US. That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.”
