Overview

• Prince Harry is contesting the loss of his systematic police protection in the UK, a benefit revoked following his 2020 departure from royal duties.
• The London Court of Appeal is holding a two-day hearing, potentially partly behind closed doors to protect confidential security details.
• The UK Home Office has previously prevailed in two legal rulings, with courts upholding the decision to provide protection on a case-by-case basis instead of automatically.
• Harry’s earlier offer to personally fund police protection was denied by the British justice system in 2023.
• This legal battle is one of several ongoing disputes involving Prince Harry, including lawsuits against British tabloids and internal conflicts with his charitable organizations.
