Prince Harry Appeals UK Security Review Following Court Loss

Prince Harry's latest appeal to reinstate automatic, government-funded security for himself and his family during visits to the UK has been rejected by the Court of Appeal, with judges ruling that his protection will continue to be determined on a case-by-case basis. The court acknowledged Harry's concerns for his and his family's safety but found no legal basis to overturn the current arrangements made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC). Following the verdict, Harry publicly called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to reassess the security review process, emphasizing the importance of the issue for his family's future. The decision has reportedly deepened tensions between Harry and his father, King Charles III, and left Harry feeling "exhausted and overwhelmed." His legal team argued that the bespoke security process he receives is inadequate, while government lawyers maintained there was no valid reason to challenge RAVEC's decision. The ruling raises questions about whether Harry will further appeal or reconsider traveling to the UK with his wife Meghan Markle and their children.
