Prince Harry has lost a legal challenge over the level of security he is permitted while in the U.K.
The Duke of Sussex had appeared in court last month to appeal the decision to downgrade his taxpayer-funded security arrangements while in Britain, describing the country as “central to the heritage” of his children, Archie and Lilibet, who he shares with wife Meghan Markle.
“I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the U.S.,” he said in 2023. “That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on U.K. soil.”
When Harry and Meghan Markle confirmed they would be stepping back from their duties as senior members of the royal family in 2020, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) decided the couple would no longer be given the “same degree” of protection when in the country.
