Prince Harry loses legal fight with UK over police protection
Prince Harry on May 2, 2025 loses his legal challenge to changes to his security arrangements made by the British government following his decision to step down from royal duties with his American wife Meghan. Harry, King Charles' younger son, had sought to overturn a decision by the Home Office - the ministry responsible for policing - which decided in February 2020 he would not automatically receive personal police security while in Britain. Last year, the High Court in London ruled the decision was lawful and that decision was upheld by three senior Court of Appeal judges who said that, while Harry understandably felt aggrieved, that did not amount to an error of law in the decision.

00:00I said in my judgment that these were powerful and moving arguments and I said that it was plain that the Duke of Sussex felt badly treated by the system.
00:15But, I concluded, having studied the detail of the extensive documentation, I could not say that the Duke's sense of grievance translated into a legal argument for the challenge to Ravec's decision.
00:32It should, however, be understood by all that the full judgment, the decisions taken in the decision letter, and subsequently, were taken, I said in my judgment, as an understandable and perhaps predictable reaction to the Duke of Sussex having stepped back from royal duties and having left the UK to live principally overseas.
01:00So, the conclusion, in my judgment, with which my colleagues, Lord Justices Bean and Edis agreed, was that the Duke of Sussex's appeal would be dismissed.
01:30That Duke of Sussex's appeal is to have a unique relationship with the Duke of Sussex's appeal to the UK, and that Duke of Sussex's appeal to the Duke of Sussex's appeal to the Duke of Sussex.
