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.
