Prince Harry’s hopes of enjoying police protection as usual despite leaving the royal family in the UK have taken a further downer. The 38-year-old had suggested paying the costs himself.
But the British Home Office refused. The ministry argued that it was not appropriate for wealthy people to buy police protection. The High Court of London on Tuesday rejected an appeal against this decision as inadmissible.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether the lowering of security measures for Harry, his wife Duchess Meghan (41) and his two children Archie (4) and Lilibet (1) is justified and whether the decision was made in an understandable way. base. It was initially unclear when a negotiation would take place.
The Home Office court case is just one of many Harry is currently battling in the UK. In a civil case against the publishers of the tabloids ‘Mirror’ and ‘Sunday Mirror’, the prince will even testify in the coming weeks. These are allegations of espionage, such as eavesdropping on voice messages.
Harry is also pursuing similar proceedings against the publisher of the newspapers “Daily Mail” and “Mail on Sunday”, as well as the publisher of the newspapers “Sun” and the now defunct “News Group Newspapers”.
Harry and Meghan broke away from the closer circle of the British royal family at the beginning of 2020 and now live with their children in the US state of California. (oee/sda/dpa)
