The British government is changing how it protects famous people and politicians. This decision comes after the tragic killing of former minister Ann Widdecombe.
Because of this, the government is looking closely at how they keep high-profile people safe. They have decided to expand police support to include people who are not currently Members of Parliament (MPs).
Home Secretary Mahmood has ordered an urgent review of all security arrangements. The goal is to make sure that people in the public eye are properly protected from harm.
This move has caused some conversation about other ongoing security cases. For example, Prince Harry has shared his worries that this big review might slow down his own legal battle regarding his personal security protection.
While the government works on these new plans, they want to make sure that anyone at risk gets the help they need to stay safe.
