Prince Harry loses High Court challenge over personal security

The Princess of Wales’ Mother’s Day photo turned what was supposed to be a sweet family memory into one of the most talked about royal scandals in years. As Kate, 42, was forced to break her silence and admit she was responsible for “editing” the picture of herself with Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five, a source told OK! that Prince Harry was encouraging Meghan Markle, 42, to “reach out” to his under-fire sister-in-law.

Prince Harry reportedly felt "displaced" and left out as his brother Prince William's family grew with the births of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, according to a leading royal author. The close bond between the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Middleton family left Prince Harry feeling like an outsider.

Diana Legacy Awards Thursday night, but his appearance will only take place after his brother, the Prince of Wales, has left the premises.William, 41, will attend Thursday’s awards solo, as his wife Kate Middleton recovers from surgery and the recent photo scandal that rocked the palace.There, he will deliver a speech and present awards to 20 recipients at the ceremony, which takes place at London’s Science Museum.After the ceremony, Harry, who lives in Montecito, Calif., with his wife Meghan Markle, will take a call with the winners of the night.Harry’s refusal to attend the awards in person comes just weeks after he lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family.The Diana Award charity, which marks its 25th anniversary this year, was set up in memory of William and Harry’s beloved late mother.The awards are handed out to young people between the ages of 9 and 25 who have contributed to their communities through humanitarian work.“The Prince [of Wales] will meet key staff and supporters of the Diana Award, before joining the ceremony where he will hear about the recipients’ work, make a short speech, and present Legacy Awards to this year’s winners,” Kensington Palace told The Post in a statement.“After the ceremony, the Prince will meet all the award winners who have traveled from around the world, representing countries including Australia, Bangladesh, the Cayman Islands, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Romania, the UAE, the UK, and the USA.”The estranged brothers have appeared alongside one another at previous award ceremonies in the past.However, since the Sussexes stepped down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020 and subsequently moved to the US, his

step up to help out the royal family — should that be something they’d want him to do.With King Charles out of action as he undergoes cancer treatment, and Kate Middleton sitting out of royal engagements until after Easter following her abdominal surgery, the Firm is having to undergo a major reshuffle.“It’s difficult to tell and it’ll be interesting to see what goes on moving forward,” Harrold exclusively told The Post.“Harry is a Counsellor of State, so he is still a very senior member of the royal family and if the time comes, he would step up if he needs to.”“While Harry might not be next in line to the throne, he’s not that far down the line of succession so his importance to the royal family shouldn’t be overlooked,” Harrold went on, adding, “I think it’s within all of their benefits to actually resolve these ongoing issues.”Returning to the UK at a time of crisis is something that Harry has reportedly been contemplating in recent weeks.Although the father of two, 39, is being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks, it seems as though he could make a swift return to the royal fold as the family navigates several health woes.In fact, it’s his wife, Meghan Markle, who is the “apprehensive” one when it comes to the idea of moving back to Harry’s home soil.Meanwhile, 5,459 miles away in London, Prince William and Princess Anne are taking over the reins from Queen Camilla as she’s set to jet off on a quick vacation following a busy few weeks.King Charles’ wife is said to be “exhausted” from having to take on an extra workload following her husband’s cancer diagnosis.Camilla, 76, has taken on 13 official engagements solo since news of the King’s ailing health came to light.William, the heir to the throne,

A new documentary has claimed Prince Harry "doesn't see his part in the family bust-up".The programme, which is titled Prince Harry's Mission: Life, Family, and the Invictus Games, also dubbed Prince William as "jealous" of Harry's success with Invictus and even claimed that King Charles doesn't have a relationship with his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Following on from the new show - which is streaming on Disney-owned platform Hulu - former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond spoke to OK! about the suggestion that Harry does not understand the part he has played in the events of the last four years.

When Prince Harry left his Royal role in 2020, everything changed - not least his hotly-debated security arrangements.The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) has decided he would no longer be given the "same degree" of publicly-funded protection when in the UK. In a bid to change his level of personal security, Harry launched a High Court challenge - but on Wednesday, February 28, a judge rejected the duke's case and concluded Ravec's approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair - although Harry will appeal, the Mirror reports.The ruling came as part of a 52-page partially redacted document, which sheds light on Harry's case and how retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane came to his decision....

The Duke of Sussex made a surprise virtual appearance at the Sport Gives Back Awards which took place this evening (Wednesday, February 28) in London.The awards recognise the role that grassroots sport can play in addressing social challenges, the awards winners were nominated by their respective charities to thank them for their work in their communities.

Piers Morgan has once again taken a swipe at Prince Harry, this time over his recent legal troubles, as he labelled the prince a "c-list celebrity". Piers, 58, has been a vocal critic of the Duke of Sussex, 39, especially since he and his wife Meghan Markle, 42, decided to step back from Royal duties in 2020 and move to America, where they now live in a multi-million dollar mansion in Montecito, California.This week, Prince Harry lost a High Court case against the UK government regarding his personal security during his visits to the UK.The case began when the Home Office announced in February 2020 that they would no longer provide taxpayer-funded personal protection for Harry during his UK visits.The High Court recently upheld this decision.

Prince Harry has lost his fight for security in the UK.

Prince Harry has lost a legal battle.

Prince Harry is set to appeal against a High Court ruling dismissing his challenge over a decision to change the level of his personal security when he visits the UK, a spokesperson for the royal has said.The Duke of Sussex took legal against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection when in the country. The decision came as a result of a change in the duke's "status" after he stopped being a "full-time working member of the Royal Family."

were stripped of funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.Harry’s lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail, which was initially denied by London’s High Court in May 2023.After the duke’s lawyers appealed the ruling, a judge granted permission for a full hearing to take place that would review the Home Office’s decision to strip the Sussexes of security.The father of two appeared in court on home soil back in December where his challenge of the initial ruling was heard over a two-and-a-half day period.At the ruling, the High Court judge slammed Harry’s claim that he was entitled to a full risk analysis by the Risk Management Board (RMB).“The claimant had no right to require RAVEC to initiate a fresh RMB process in the light of his changed situation,” Judge Lane said.“In determining what fairness demands in this context, it is important to understand that undergoing an RMB assessment is not a right or even a benefit. It is, as Sir James Eadie KC (for the Home Office) submits, an analytical tool.”“I do not consider that there was any procedural unfairness, such as might vitiate the decision,” he added.The case was held in private over privacy concerns.Harry told a hearing that security concerns were preventing him from visiting his home turf.However, Judge Lane said that “there is no merit in this contention.”“The UK is my home.

Prince Harry has lost his latest court challenge, a battle against the UK government over his level of security when in the UK.

The Duke of Sussex has lost his High Court challenge against the Home Office over a decision to change the level of his taxpayer-funded personal security when he visits the UK. After stepping down from being a working member of the Royal Family, Harry was told that he would no longer be given the "same degree" of publicly-funded protection when in the country, leading to him taking legal action.This decision was made in February 2020 by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec).

Montecito, California, with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.The Duke of Sussex, 39, and his family moved across the pond from his hometown of London in January 2020 after taking a step back as senior members of the Firm.According to author Tom Quinn, Harry is “very bored” in the city of palm trees and Tinseltown, and even “misses being a working royal.”“Being a royal is the only thing he is trained to do,” the “Queen Mary to Meghan Markle” writer told the Mirror recently.“He knows that to retain his value and the interest of the world he is better off not being a retired royal so offering to come back to help out at least reminds the world who and what he is,” he went on.The Invictus Games founder has been considering taking more frequent trips back to the United Kingdom as his father, King Charles, undergoes treatment for cancer. Earlier this month, Harry flew back to his home soil for a quick trip to visit Charles, 75, once news of his cancer went global.“Harry was apparently visibly shocked and upset when he heard that his father had cancer.

Prince Harry has been thinking about spending six months in the UK to take on a new Royal role, but Meghan Markle isn't keen on the idea, according to Royal expert Tom Quinn. He said that Harry was really upset when he found out his dad had cancer and wanted to do something to help.

Prince Harry's surprising 11-word answer when asked directly about returning to Royal duties has made King Charles' slimmed-down monarchy look even slimmer, with several key members currently unable to fulfil their roles. The King himself has had to cancel all upcoming public engagements as he undergoes treatment for cancer, while the Princess of Wales is also out of the public eye until at least after Easter as she recovers from abdominal surgery.

Princess Lilibet, 2, and Prince Archie, 4, to meet the sickly monarch in England, one royal expert is asserting. The king’s shock cancer diagnosis was revealed earlier this month — with the Duke of Sussex jetting to the UK to reunite with his estranged father.

Prince Harry might take his two children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, to see King Charles following his recent cancer diagnosis, it has been speculated. King Charles was diagnosed with cancer after a “separate issue of concern was noted” and was investigated while he was being treated for his benign enlarged prostate earlier this month.

Prince Harry has shared a rare insight into his family life in the US with wife Meghan Markle and their two children.The Duke of Sussex shared an update on the couple's two children, Archie and Lilibet, during an interview on Good Morning America. Harry, 39, was interviewed by host Will Reeve, with the pair discussing everything from King Charles' cancer diagnosis to whether Harry will one day become a US citizen. He also spoke about his life in California, and sweetly said he is "very grateful" to be a father to son Archie, four, and two year old daughter Lilibet.
