Prince Harry Awaits Court Ruling on UK Security Appeal

The Duke of Sussex says confidential evidence in his legal battle confirms his fears about safety risks and unequal treatment.

Overview

  • Prince Harry's two-day appeal hearing over the withdrawal of his automatic state-backed security concluded, with judges reserving their decision until after Easter.
  • Harry claims that confidential evidence disclosed in court confirms his belief that the removal of his security was unfair and puts his family at risk.
  • The Duke argues that the bespoke security system requiring 30 days' notice for UK visits offers inadequate protection compared to the full police security granted to other VIPs.
  • Harry alleges the decision to revoke his security in 2020 was a tactic to discourage his and Meghan Markle's departure from royal duties and the UK.
  • The legal battle, described by Harry as emotionally exhausting, underscores broader tensions with the royal family and his concerns about ensuring his family's safety during UK visits.
