Prince Harry 'treated less favourably' in UK police protection row, court hears

Prince Harry.

Prince Harry is challenging a decision that was made in 2020 over his security arrangements when he's visiting the UK. At the time, an official body called the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (or Ravec) decided that he and his family would no longer be protected by police in the same way they were as working royals. The Duke of Sussex subsequently spoke out about feeling unsafe when in the UK, and is bringing legal action against the Home Office to challenge the decision.

"Ravec should have considered the 'impact' that a successful attack on the claimant would have, bearing in mind his status, background and profile within the Royal Family — which he was born into and which he will have for the rest of his life — and his ongoing charity work and service to the public," Shaheed Fatima KC, who represents Harry, has said in a written statement (via Sky News).
