Prince Harry Appeals Security Decision in London.
Prince Harry returned to London’s Royal Courts of Justice this Wednesday to appeal the Home Office’s decision regarding his security arrangements in the United Kingdom. The appeal stems from a 2020 ruling that removed the automatic provision of personal police security following his withdrawal from royal duties.
Prince Harry’s initial challenge to the decision was previously rejected by the High Court, though he was subsequently granted permission to appeal. During the two-day hearing, government lawyers defended the Home Office’s “bespoke” approach to his security, arguing it offered advantages in focusing on specific, present-day risk assessments. The hearing concluded with Prince Harry present, consulting with his legal team as arguments were presented. The outcome of the appeal remains pending.
