Overview

• The Court of Appeal has ordered that Prince Harry’s appeal regarding his UK security arrangements will mostly be held in public, with only sensitive evidence presented in private.
• The legal challenge stems from a 2020 decision by RAVEC to alter Harry’s security following his departure as a full-time working royal.
• Harry’s lawyers argue that the decision-making process was procedurally unfair and lacked a proper risk analysis, while the government defends a bespoke, case-by-case approach.
• The hearing, scheduled for April 8-9 in London, will address whether the High Court’s 2024 ruling upholding RAVEC’s decision was correct.
• The Court emphasized the importance of balancing transparency and the protection of sensitive security information in its ruling.
