Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly had a series of security issues at their California mansion in the US.

Police records, obtained by UK newspaper The Sun, show over the past 14 months there have been six security alerts at their Montecito home.

Of concern to the former royals is the news that there were two reported intruders in a 12-day period in May, with one being found just hours before the family took a private jet back to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

One report was listed on the day of Harry and Meghan's anniversary, May 19, which documented a "trespasser", "property crimes" and "suspicious circumstances".

The police log revealed the couple's security team requested the trespasser's "documentation" before he left.

It's not the first time the Sussexes have raised concerns about security.

On Friday, a British High Court judge granted permission for part of Harry's claim for a judicial review into a government decision that denied him police protection while in Britain.

The Home Office - the UK ministry responsible for policing, immigration and security - decided in February 2020 that Harry would cease receiving personal police security while in Britain even if he were to cover the cost himself.

Harry and Meghan have relied on a private security team since moving to California, where they live with their two young children.
