The question of security for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remains a point of public and official ambiguity. As the couple considers future travel to the United Kingdom, both the Home Office and Buckingham Palace have maintained a policy of silence regarding the specific protection measures that would be afforded to them. This lack of transparency has fueled ongoing speculation about whether the family will be granted armed police protection funded by British taxpayers.

Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, recently addressed the situation, suggesting that the details of the couple's security plans should be treated as a private matter. His comments reflect the broader tension between the public interest in the royals' activities and the government's standard practice of not disclosing security protocols for high-profile individuals. While the Home Office typically manages security for members of the Royal Family, the Duke of Sussex’s change in status has complicated these arrangements. The government has not provided a timeline or criteria for when or if such information might be made public, leaving the status of their security arrangements currently unresolved.
