Prince Harry Challenges UK Government Over Police Protection in Court

The two-day London hearing revisits Harry's appeal against reduced security, citing heightened risks to his family after stepping back from royal duties.

Overview

  • Prince Harry appeared at the London Court of Appeal to contest the UK government's decision to downgrade his police protection while in Britain.
  • The legal dispute stems from Harry's partial withdrawal from royal duties in 2020, which led to the loss of state-funded security for him and his family.
  • Harry's lawyers argue that the decision to reduce his protection was based on an inadequate security assessment and fails to address increased risks from racism and extremism.
  • A confidential segment of the hearing will address sensitive security details, with a verdict potentially issued immediately or after further deliberation.
  • This case highlights ongoing tensions between Harry and the British establishment, reflecting broader consequences of his departure from royal life.
