A High Court justice has decided that Prince Harry must accept the government’s decision to bar him from paying for his own police protection in the UK—but he still has an outstanding claim over the initial decision to strip his publicly-funded security.
in one of his claims against the Home Secretary over his security arrangements when he visits the United Kingdom. In a ruling following aruled that Harry isn't entitled to a judicial review of a government decision that barred him from funding his own police protection when he visits his homeland.
Harry’s legal team was seeking judicial review of a government committee’s decision to reject his request to fund his own security. In last week’s hearing, lawyers representing the government argued that the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known by the acronym RAVEC,in denying Harry’s request to pay for his own security.
In ruling against the prince, Chamberlain sided with RAVEC’s assessment that “it was not appropriate to support an outcome whereby wealthy individuals could ‘buy’ Protective Security from specialist police officers , in circumstances where RAVEC has determined that the public interest does not warrant that individual receiving such Protective Security on a publicly-funded basis.
Ultimately, it’s a sign that Harry is still fighting the battles that kicked off when he and Meghan first announced their decision to “ ” from their roles as working royals in early January 2020. In Chamberlain’s Tuesday decision, he noted that Harry’s claim originated from an offer to fund his own security at a January 13, 2020 meeting.
