Prince Harry Given Permission To Challenge UK Police Protection Ruling

Prince Harry has been granted the right to appeal a High Court ruling that denied him publicly-funded police protection while in the UK. He argues the removal of automatic security is unfair and a security risk for him and his family. The Court of Appeal will now hear his case, potentially determining the level of security he receives during future visits to Britain.

Prince Harry Given Permission To Challenge UK Police Protection Ruling

Prince Harry has been granted permission to appeal a High Court decision that dismissed his legal challenge against the UK government's decision to remove his automatic police protection when he visits Britain.

 

Background of the Dispute

 

In February 2020, after stepping back from royal duties and relocating to California with his wife Meghan Markle, Prince Harry lost his entitlement to full, publicly-funded security provided by the British police. This decision was made by the Home Office, the ministry responsible for policing in the UK.

 

Harry argued that the removal of his automatic security status was unfair and singled him out. He felt this decision exposed him and his family to a greater security risk during visits to the UK.

 

Court Battles

 

The High Court initially ruled in February 2022 that the Home Office's decision was lawful and dismissed Harry's case. In April, his request to challenge this ruling was denied.

 

However, in a recent development, the Court of Appeal has granted Harry permission to pursue his challenge. This means a higher court will now hear his arguments against the removal of his automatic police protection.

 

Reason for Appeal Granted

 

While granting the appeal, Judge David Bean acknowledged some uncertainty but found Harry's arguments had a "real prospect of success." This suggests the Court of Appeal might view the situation differently than the High Court.

 

The Road Ahead

 

The Court of Appeal will now determine the validity of the Home Office's decision regarding Prince Harry's police protection. The outcome of this appeal could determine the level of security he receives during future visits to the UK.
