Prince Harry appeals UK security treatment claims

Prince Harry is appealing a ruling that denied him automatic taxpayer-funded security while in the UK, arguing that he has been 'singled out for different, unjustified and inferior treatment' since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. His legal team claims the Home Office's decision, made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), did not follow its own guidelines, treating him differently compared to other royals. During the two-day appeal hearing, Harry's barrister stated that the process used for his security assessment was not applied fairly and lacked proper risk evaluation. The Home Office maintains that the decisions regarding security are made on a case-by-case basis and were lawful. Harry's previous legal challenge was dismissed by the High Court, but he continues to seek a more favorable arrangement for his family's protection while in Britain. This ongoing dispute highlights the tensions between Prince Harry and the royal family, amidst broader personal and public challenges he faces.
