Prince Harry’s legal battle against the UK government’s decision to alter his security arrangements during UK visits ended in defeat.
In February 2020, the government informed Harry, King Charles III’s youngest son, that he would not receive the same level of public-funded security in the UK. In a 52-page verdict, Judge Peter Lane declared the tailored security process for Harry, decided on February 28, 2020, as legally valid.
After leaving the UK with Meghan in 2020 and moving to California, Harry expressed at a London court hearing in December that safety concerns hindered their UK returns.
Harry emphasized the UK’s significance to his family’s heritage in a written statement, presented by his attorneys, stressing the importance of safety for visits. He stated the risk to his wife and himself was unacceptable, citing life experiences that made him cautious about facing unnecessary dangers.
