• Harry's legal team argued that the lack of comprehensive security heightened risks, referencing threats like Al-Qaeda's calls for his assassination.
• Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle have resided in California, with strained relations and infrequent visits to the UK.
• In a BBC interview following the verdict, Harry expressed a wish to reconcile with his family, emphasizing the importance of mending ties and the uncertainty of his father's health.
