Prince Harry's Legal Battle: Fighting Back Against Unfair Security Stripping

Prince Harry's lawyer is challenging the UK government's decision to strip him of his security detail, arguing that it was unfair and failed to follow proper risk analysis. Harry claims his safety is at risk due to hostility on social media and in the press. The government argues that Harry is no longer a working royal and therefore not entitled to regular security review. The committee responsible for the decision included royal family staff, including someone with whom Harry had tensions. Harry's spokesperson stated that his US security team does not have jurisdiction or access to intelligence in the UK.

Prince Harry ordered to pay for own security in UK.

Prince Harry has lost a legal challenge against the UK government's decision to bar him from paying for police protection during his visits to the UK. The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, were stripped of taxpayer-funded police protection after they stepped back from being "working royals" and moved to the US in 2020. Harry's lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government's refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail, but London's High Court ruled Tuesday to deny the review.

Prince Harry denied request to pay for UK police protection

Prince Harry has lost a legal bid to challenge the UK government's decision not to allow him to pay for police protection while he is in the country. The High Court in London ruled that he could not seek a further judicial review over the refusal of his offer to pay privately for the highly-trained officers. The decision to remove publicly-funded security was taken by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as RAVEC, which approves security for the royals and VIPs, such as the prime minister.
