Prince Harry Loses Initial Appeal for UK Security Protection

Prince Harry's request for an appeal on the UK High Court's decision regarding his security has been denied, marking a setback in his ongoing legal battle.

Prince Harry lost his first appeal bid against a High Court ruling that upheld a government panel’s decision to limit his publicly funded security in the UK.
The legal dispute began after Harry relinquished his role as a working member of the royal family in 2020, citing security concerns for himself and his family.
The High Court judge emphasized that the bespoke security arrangement provided on a case-by-case basis was neither unlawful nor irrational.
Despite the ruling, Harry can still seek permission directly from the Court of Appeal to continue his fight for security protection.
The case highlights ongoing tensions between Prince Harry and the UK government over the provision of security following his move to California.
