Good Morning Britain was halted as Richard Madeley shared a huge Prince Harry update. It comes after the Duke of Sussex is believed to have won a government review into his demand for armed security when he visits the United Kingdom.

Before Harry and his wife, Meghan, left the UK for a life in California, the Duke had round-the-clock armed security due to being a senior member of the Royal Family. And while his father is the King, Harry’s armed protection was removed after he stepped down as a working royal.

An assessment in February 2020 stated that his risk had significantly lowered. The Duke, who served in Afghanistan, was previously one of the most at-risk public figures, alongside his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth and the Prime Minister. But during Monday’s episode of GMB, anchor Richard delivered huge news to viewers.

The broadcaster revealed that he had “breaking news” regarding Harry’s battle with the Home Office to have his armed security reinstated when he is in the UK.

Richard said: “Breaking news this morning that Prince Harry may get his armed protection back when he comes to the UK. It could mean that the King is reunited with his grandchildren for the first time in three years.” Prior to Richard’s news, Ranvir Singh spoke to correspondent Richard Gaisford, who explained that reviews are often carried out on a regular basis for high-profile individuals.

Gaisford explained: “It may be that word has come down that relations are thawing amongst members of the Royal Family, and it would be useful to have Prince Harry back with his family as well.” He also believes that the review could mean a reunion for the Duke and his father, the King, as well as his extended family.

Harry has previously said that he feels it is not safe to bring his wife and their two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilbet, four, to the country he grew up in due to the security threat he faced.

The Duke has battled the High Court and Home Office to have his security reinstated due to the risk he faces on a regular basis, but claimed it was an “establishment stitch-up” when he previously lost the court battle.

But The Sun has claimed that The Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) has now instructed its Risk Management Board to reassess Harry’s risk. It’s claimed that the process is currently underway, and evidence has been taken from the government, the police and Prince Harry’s staff.

The decision is expected to be delivered next month. Should Harry’s risk assessment state that he faces a significant risk, it would mean that Brits would pay for the security whenever he returns to the UK.

Currently, if Harry plans to return to the UK, he has to give London’s Metropolitan Police 30 days’ notice so they can run a case-by-case assessment on the Duke’s security and risk. After the High Court decided not to reinstate Harry’s automatic protection, the Home Office said it was “pleased” by the outcome.

But Harry was far from pleased, saying: “The other side have won in keeping me unsafe. I can’t see a world in which I will be bringing my wife and children back at this point.”

Since Harry quit his life in the UK, he lost his home, Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate. He has only returned to the UK a handful of times on his own, but his family have returned on just a few occasions – for the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen, but Archie and Lilibet remained in California when Harry and Meghan were in the UK when his grandmother died and for her funeral.

A spokesperson for the government said: “The UK government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.”

Jessie J has opened up about her cancer diagnosis, after originally finding a lump in her right breast this summer, which was removed after she underwent a mastectomy

Jessie J has revealed that there’s a chance her cancer “could come back”. The musician announced earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was undergoing treatment.

At the time, the 37-year-old remained positive after the disease was caught in the earlier stages, and it wasn’t an invasive form of the disease. But now, the Think About That hitmaker has revealed that despite undergoing treatment, there is a chance that the cancer could return in the future.

Jessie previously underwent a mastectomy as well as a second operation, which resulted in the hitmaker being forced to postpone her tour due to the complexities of her operation. Now, in a new interview, Jessie admits that while she understands there is a chance it could return, she’s not letting this slow her down.

Jessie, who recently performed at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard, admits that when she was first diagnosed, she “wasn’t scared,” but felt “out of control.” But while most people would instantly bottle things up, Jessie revealed that she’s a “sharer” and had no intentions of sitting at home. Instead, her diagnosis gave her a completely new outlook on life.

“I’ve been really lucky, super lucky to find it so early,” she told ABC News. She added: “It wasn’t invasive, thank God. I know there’s a chance it could come back, but until then, we’re living life.” Sharing her news so publicly was a huge decision as she wanted to break down the barriers surrounding the topic.

It comes after Jessie had an emotional conversation with Catherine, Princess of Wales, at the Royal Variety Performance, where the pair both spoke about their experiences with the cruel disease. Speaking of her conversation with the future Queen, Jessie said: “I hugged the Princess!”

She told the Mirror: “It was lovely, honestly. I think the whole feeling for me was obviously so personal. I felt that I was Jessica. I wasn’t Jessie J. I was just purely there to, like, represent the people that feel lost and lonely and scared, and that’s why I wore the sweatsuit to represent the people that are on the sofa feeling scared and alone and depressed, and it’s so beautiful what they’re doing.

“Kate and women just show they’re actually speaking up for people that feel suicidal and alone. And obviously, mum to mum, with breast cancer in the public eye, I wanted to acknowledge that. It wasn’t a moment that I even thought that people would even see, I was with her in that moment. It was lovely to have a second to just, honestly, give another mama a hug, see you.”

Jessie postponed her No Secrets Tour across the UK and Europe until next year while she awaits another operation. Speaking previously about her diagnosis, the singer said: “I’m just grateful for the lessons and grateful, honestly, for the connectivity that has given me with so many people having cancer.

“I wouldn’t have had the beautiful conversations that I’ve had. And I’ve been a better parent, I’ve been a better person. I’ve honestly not sweated the small stuff. Some things that used to stress me out don’t any more, because when life turns into something that you feel like you can’t control, you just gotta sit the f*** down.”
