Prince Harry is reportedly planning to lobby the Home Secretary to reinstate taxpayer-funded security for his visits to the UK. 
This follows his unsuccessful appeal last year against the Home Office's decision to reduce his security protection when in the country. 
The Duke of Sussex aims to secure better arrangements to enable more frequent visits with his family, including his children, who he states cannot “feel at home” without adequate safety. 
A recent reunion with King Charles was reportedly overshadowed by issues with accommodation, which led to Meghan and the children altering their travel plans. 
Harry is expected to return to the UK next year for the Invictus Games in Birmingham and hopes his family will be able to accompany him.
