Prince Harry's legal battle regarding his security arrangements in the United Kingdom is moving to the Court of Appeal. A two-day hearing is scheduled to commence on Tuesday in London. The Duke of Sussex is challenging the government's decision to downgrade his security protection after he stepped down as a senior working royal.
Harry argues that the reduced security measures put him, his wife Meghan Markle, and their children at risk when they visit the U.K. He has offered to pay for private security, but the government has denied his request for access to official protection services.
The case centers on the level of security Harry is entitled to, given his former status and the ongoing threats he and his family face. The government maintains that its security arrangements are appropriate and proportionate. The Court of Appeal will consider arguments from both sides before making a ruling. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for the security arrangements of other high-profile individuals who are no longer working members of the royal family.
