Prince Harry Loses Legal Challenge Over Security

The Duke of Sussex has lost a legal challenge over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to while in the UK.
Prince Harry had been seeking to overturn a decision that had downgraded his security after he stopped being a working royal and moved to the US with the Duchess of Sussex.

His lawyers had argued that he had been "singled out" for "inferior treatment", but the court ruling upheld that there had been nothing unlawful about how the decision had been reached.

A senior judge ruled that Prince Harry's "sense of grievance" over how the decision to alter his security was reached did not amount to a basis for a successful appeal.

The dispute between Prince Harry and the government arose after he and Meghan stepped back from frontline royal duties in January 2020 and moved overseas.

Prince Harry has previously said that worries about safety have prevented him from coming to the UK and bringing his wife and children.

This latest legal challenge saw the prince argue in court that the government committee responsible for planning security for the royals did not consider the particulars of his circumstances properly.

However, three senior judges at the Court of Appeal rejected his appeal.
