Overview

  • Prince Harry's legal challenge stems from the 2020 decision to reduce his police protection after stepping back from royal duties.
  • The High Court had previously dismissed Harry's case, ruling the decision was lawful and procedurally fair.
  • Judge David Bean of the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, citing potential success in Harry's argument regarding policy adherence.
  • Harry's security concerns include threats from extremist groups and the impact on his family's safety during UK visits.
  • This case is part of a broader series of legal battles Harry has initiated against the UK government and the British press.
