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.

However, his legal representatives said that these arrangements did not give the prince the level of protection he needed while visiting Britain. 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.Harry sought a judicial review - a legal challenge to the lawfulness of decisions taken by a public body - in September 2021, the statement said.
