The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, faced a legal defeat concerning the level of taxpayer-funded security he is entitled to while in the UK. His arguments centered on claims of unfair treatment and concerns for his safety following a change in security arrangements after stepping back from royal duties. A judge upheld the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty, which mandated a bespoke security arrangement, requiring the Sussexes to provide advance notice and undergo threat assessments before visits to the UK.
The Duke of Sussex has lost a legal challenge regarding taxpayer-funded security, allowing the government to provide a cheaper level of protection for his family.
Barristers for Prince Harry argued he was unfairly treated and that his safety was at risk due to changes in security after stepping down as a working royal.
A high court judge confirmed that the committee's decision about Harry's level of protection in the UK was lawful, marking a significant ruling.
The Sussexes must provide 30 days' notice before traveling to the UK, leading to assessments for threat levels to determine required protection.
