This recent conclusion marks another disappointment for Harry, who previously faced a ruling in February 2024 that dismissed his case regarding the funding of his security measures. His lawyers argued that the decision to withdraw protection put both Harry and his family's safety at risk. They contended that the ruling contravened established policy by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as Ravec.
During last month's hearings, Harry's legal team pointed to what they characterized as "inferior treatment," highlighting concerns over the potential dangers posed to him, his wife Meghan, and their two children. The committee had previously resisted Harry's offer to cover security costs independently, expressing concerns that allowing private funding could jeopardize an already limited pool of trained protection officers, especially since the British police do not routinely carry firearms.
Having initiated his legal battle back in September 2021, Harry has since navigated various stages of the judicial process. His visits to Britain, which included significant personal events such as the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III, necessitated new applications for public protection—each subject to case-by-case evaluations that included the engagement of private security.
Flanked by concurrent legal proceedings against the Daily Mail—alongside other well-known figures alleging unlawful information gathering—Harry's legal journey continues, with additional hearings expected next week regarding the privacy invasion claims. The situation remains fluid, and further updates will unfold as the case progresses.
