Prince Harry appeals loss of UK security detail in court

Prince Harry is appealing a court decision that denied his request for government-funded UK security, which he lost in February 2020 after stepping back from royal duties and moving to the U.S. His attorney argued that the evaluation process for his security needs was flawed and that he has been treated unjustly, being offered only 'bespoke' security on a case-by-case basis. Harry has expressed concerns that he and his family face serious threats, including from online hostility and aggressive media attention, which compromise their safety during visits to the UK. A government lawyer countered that Harry's arguments misinterpret the security review process and fail to consider the broader context. The appeal hearing, which included a live-streamed component, is expected to conclude soon with a written decision to follow. This legal battle reflects Harry's ongoing challenges in navigating life away from royal responsibilities.
