Prince Harry Challenges UK Government Over Security Treatment

Prince Harry appeared in court to appeal the government's decision to strip him of automatic police security after stepping back from royal duties in early 2020. His attorney argued that the process used to evaluate his security needs was flawed, resulting in him being 'singled out' for inferior treatment compared to others. The Home Office's lawyer countered that the appeal misinterpreted the previous ruling and insisted that the bespoke security arrangement was appropriate. Harry's legal team highlighted specific security threats, including calls from al Qaeda for his assassination, to support their case. The appeal hearing is expected to conclude soon, with a decision anticipated in writing shortly thereafter. Harry's presence at the court reflects the personal significance he places on this legal battle.
