Harry and Meghan are left unprotected in the UK: Final judgement is made




Prince Harry has lost a High Court challenge against the United Kingdom government over what level of security he should get whenever he is in the UK. 


 The case existed because the Duke of Sussex is trying to overturn a ruling which saw his security status downgraded, thanks to his decision to stop being a 'working royal'. His lawyers have argued that the decision was made in an unfair manner.


The challenge was made by Harry back in December 2023 and Home Office lawyers told the High Court Prince Harry would still have publicly-funded police security, but these would be "bespoke arrangements, specifically tailored to him", rather than the automatic security provided for full-time working royals.Court rules against Prince Harry.


  The majority of these legal proceedings were held in private during December, but the ruling has now been made publicly by High Court judge Sir Peter Lane. The court found that there had not been any unlawfulness in reaching the decision to downgrade Prince Harry's security status.


 This is not the first court case that Harry has lost surrounding his security. In 2023, he wanted to be allowed to make private payments for police protection whilst in the UK, but he was unsuccessful.Naturally, these rulings also apply to Meghan Markle given she is not a working royal, taking the same decision that Harry did to step away from the duties. 

 Harry and Meghan currently live in the United States of America but they still make visits to the UK, which is why they want personal protection. They will have to pay for their own protection.
