Overview

• Prince Harry completed a two-day appellate hearing on April 9, 2025, at London’s Royal Courts of Justice, appealing the decision to remove his automatic state-funded security.
• The appeal follows a 2020 decision by RAVEC to provide Harry with a 'bespoke' security arrangement instead of full police protection after stepping back from royal duties.
• Harry claims the decision-making process was flawed and unfair, asserting he was subjected to inferior treatment compared to other public figures in similar categories.
• Confidential evidence presented during the hearing reportedly confirmed Harry’s concerns about the motivations behind the security withdrawal, which he described as 'difficult to swallow.'
• A written ruling from the Court of Appeal is expected after Easter, with Harry vowing to continue his legal fight regardless of the outcome.
