Prince Harry Cites Al-Qaeda Threat in Security Appeal

News summary

Prince Harry is appealing in UK courts for the reinstatement of his taxpayer-funded police protection, citing an explicit assassination threat from Al-Qaeda linked to his high-profile military service in Afghanistan and his departure from royal duties in 2020. His legal team claims the UK government removed his security without a formal risk assessment, leaving him and his family vulnerable. Court documents highlight that the lack of police protection is a primary reason Harry has not brought his children to the UK, due to ongoing and unpredictable risks. The UK government maintains that security decisions are made based on policy, not personal preference. Separate criticism has surfaced regarding Harry's reduced involvement in his former charity work in Africa. The court's decision on Harry's appeal is pending as debate over his security and public role continues.
