  "account": "The British government has launched a major review of protective security arrangements for politicians and royals, signaling a boost for Prince Harry's campaign to restore his police bodyguards. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has been campaigning since 2020 to have his round-the-clock Metropolitan Police bodyguards returned after they were removed when he and his wife, Meghan Markle, quit royal duties to live in America. He has lost two lawsuits at the High Court in London and now has the prospect of a new avenue to argue his case following the government's review. The review, prompted by the murder of former Member of Parliament Ann Widdecombe, includes high-profile individuals and royals. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced the expansion of police support for political figures not currently Members of Parliament, including former MPs, peers, and party spokespeople. The review, led by Sir Stephen Lovegrove, could potentially offer Harry another pathway to regain his security, bypassing palace staffers he has traditionally mistrusted.",
