Overview

  • Prince Harry's final appeal to reinstate automatic taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK was denied on May 2, 2025, effectively ending his legal battle over security arrangements.
  • In a BBC interview following the court decision, Harry confirmed that King Charles III no longer speaks to him, citing unresolved disputes over security as a major factor.
  • Harry has vowed to continue his efforts by lobbying British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper for a reconsideration of his security needs during visits to the UK.
  • The late Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly 'dismayed' by Harry's behavior before and after his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle, which marked the early stages of family tensions.
  • While Meghan Markle has launched several new commercial ventures, including a Netflix show and a podcast, Harry's public activities remain closely tied to his past royal life and legal battles.
