Britain's Prince Harry appears onstage at the 2021 Global Citizen Live concert at Central Park in New York, US, Sept 25, 2021.LONDON - Britain's Prince Harry is challenging a government decision that he should not receive police protection when on British soil even if he covers the cost himself, his legal representatives said.
"In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home," the statement said. It cited an incident in July 2021 where they said his security had been compromised whilst leaving a charity event due to the lack of police protection.Harry's mother Princess Diana died in a 1997 car crash while trying to escape paparazzi photographers.
Asked about the statement a government spokesperson said that the UK government's protective security system was "rigorous and proportionate", and that it was its long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on any arrangements as this could compromise individuals' security.The spokesperson also said it would be "inappropriate" to comment in detail on any legal proceedings.
