Prince Harry's security row has been filled with shocking revelations, including an 'inappropriate' demand and a mysterious figure.
When Harry stepped down from his royal duties in 2020, his life changed dramatically, especially his protection arrangements.
Just a few weeks after his surprising announcement, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) decided he would no longer receive the same level of public-funded protection when in the UK, reports the Mirror.
In response, Harry took the matter to the High Court - but yesterday, a judge dismissed his case, stating that Ravec's decision was neither irrational nor unfair.
This ruling was part of a 52-page document, partially hidden, which gives us insight into Harry's case and how retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane made his decision...
In the early stages of the judgement, it is noted that Harry challenged his security arrangements following his decision not to be a full-time working royal.
In his first statement to the court, Harry confessed: "My wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020." reports The Mirror Online.
The verdict explained that a letter exchanged between the late Queen's private secretary, Sir Edward Young, and Sir Richard Mottram, then chair of RAVEC, revealed Harry and Meghan's plans back in 2020.
The verdict read: "The letter recorded that it was understood the claimant and his wife would travel back to the United Kingdom to pursue their private charity work and that Her Majesty the Queen may from time to time invite them to attend Royal occasions in the United Kingdom in their private capacity and to participate in family events."
