Prince Harry's Security Appeal Raises Life Threat Concerns in Court

Prince Harry attended a two-day appeal at London's Royal Courts of Justice, challenging a 2020 Home Office decision that stripped him of automatic police security in the UK following his departure from royal duties. His lawyer, Shaheed Fatima, emphasized the personal stakes involved, stating that Harry's life and safety are at risk, particularly in light of threats against him. The Home Office defended its decision, claiming a 'bespoke' security approach is suitable for his current circumstances, but Fatima countered that this approach is inferior compared to his previous protection as a working royal. The appeal follows a previous High Court ruling that upheld the Home Office's decision, which Harry is now seeking to overturn. The case has garnered significant attention, not only for its implications for Harry but also for broader discussions about royal security protocols. The outcome of the appeal remains pending as the court deliberates on the arguments presented.
