Prince Harry has lost a legal battle against the Home Office over arrangements for his security in the UK. The British media reported this unanimously on Wednesday after the written verdict was announced.
The key question was whether Harry, who lives in the US, is entitled to the same protective measures as the rest of the royal family when he travels to his old home in Britain. The 39-year-old wanted to have a decision by the responsible committee reversed. His security status was downgraded to the youngest son of King Charles III. had resigned his royal duties.
Harry’s lawyer had accused the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royal and Public Figures of making its decision to grant less protection to the fifth in line to the British throne based on an inadequate security analysis. As a result, Harry’s children are not adequately protected in Britain. But he wanted Prince Archie (4) and Princess Lilibet (2) to feel as at home there as they did in the US.
The Ministry of the Interior, in turn, claims that Harry will receive a tailor-made arrangement. The High Court in London ruled that the decision was neither unlawful nor “irrational” and that there was no procedural injustice.
Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan (42) withdrew from the royal family years ago. One reason is the way the British tabloids treated Meghan. The case is one of many that Harry is fighting in British courts. This includes three lawsuits against publishers for illegally collecting information. Harry and other celebrities accuse the media of, among other things, listening to their mailboxes without permission. (saw/sda/dpa)
