Overview

• Prince Harry appeared at the Court of Appeal in London for a two-day hearing to contest the downgrade of his UK police protection following his 2020 departure from royal duties.
• The legal challenge centers on whether Harry should receive the same level of security as other royals when visiting the UK, with his legal team arguing that the decision was based on insufficient risk analysis.
• Harry has stated that the lack of adequate protection prevents him from safely bringing his family to the UK, citing threats tied to his royal status and military service.
• Previous rulings upheld the security downgrade, but Harry’s appeal could potentially reverse these decisions, with a verdict expected as early as Wednesday.
• The British government maintains that Harry is provided tailored security measures, but his legal team claims these do not meet the standards necessary for his high-risk profile.
