Prince Harry has "options" whenever he returns to the UK from his exile in California - despite the prince's security concerns.
Harry, who has lived on the American West Coast since his controversial departure from the cast of working royals in June 2020, has spoken out about his fears over bringing Meghan Markle and his two children back to Britain in the past.
As - nominally - a member of the family, the prince used to be entitled to top-tier security in the UK at the Home Office's expense.
But speaking on The Royal Record, GB News' Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker and GBNews.com's Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen detailed how things have changed.

Cameron drew attention to the Duke of Sussex's failed High Court challenge against the Government earlier this year, in which he tried to overturn the UK's decision to have his security decided on a case-by-case basis whenever he entered the country.
He said: "We think he's going to appeal the High Court's decision - which agreed with the Home Office that they could downgrade his security effectively when he stood back as a working member of the Royal Family.
"Prince Harry has to give 28 days' notice to the Home Office before he returns to the United Kingdom in order for them to provide him with the police protection necessary to keep him safe."
Referencing Meghan's expected absence from the WellChild Awards on September 30, the royal correspondent said: "So presumably that is what has happened here in this instance.

"But according to Prince Harry, it appears that's not enough to keep Meghan and his children safe.
"He's prepared to take the risk, but not for Meghan and the children."
Svar then outlined where the exiled duke could stay during his upcoming visit to his country of birth.
He said: "It'll be interesting to see where Harry stays.
"We've seen him stay at hotel rooms - last month, he stayed with Diana's family, Diana's brother on their estate."

Earlier this year, Prince Harry snubbed King Charles's offer of staying in a royal residence while in the UK.
Svar continued: "There have also been offers from the King for him to stay at a room in one of the royal residences.
"So he's going to have options as to where he stays.
"It may be down to what's convenient for him - or where he feels safest."
