Overview

  • The Court of Appeal ruled on May 2, 2025, that the removal of Prince Harry's UK police protection was lawful, affirming earlier court decisions.
  • In a BBC interview, Harry expressed frustration with the ruling, accusing the UK establishment of endangering his family and calling the decision an 'Establishment stitch-up.'
  • Harry announced plans to write to the Home Secretary requesting an urgent review of the RAVEC process, which oversees security arrangements for VIPs and former royals.
  • Buckingham Palace issued a statement emphasizing that courts have repeatedly upheld the decision, while senior Tories and palace insiders criticized Harry's demands as entitled and out of touch.
  • Despite the ongoing rift, Harry expressed a desire for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III, but noted that his father has avoided communication with him for years.
