A High Court judge has ruled in favor of the British government's decision to reduce security for Harry and his family when they visit the United Kingdom.
Stepping away from his duties as a senior member of the British Royal Family is once again taking its toll on Prince Harry, who lost a legal battle and will see his and his family's security reduced when they visit the United Kingdom.
This, after a Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the government's decision not to implement a security deployment comparable to that of active members of the Crown. Which would imply that, if greater security is required, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will have to pay for it out of her own pockets.
Prince Harry demanded 'automatic protection' for his family
In his demand for security funded by the British government when he and members of his family are in the United Kingdom, the Duke of Sussex, 39, argued his family should have “automatic protection” whenever they are in England , after British authorities took away this right in February 2020, after he and Meghan stepped away from their official royal duties, according to People.
The issue of his family's own safety has been a constant topic surrounding the recent events surrounding the lives of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and her children, Princes Archie and Lilibet; and it has been handled as one of the reasons that forced them to renounce their activities as members of the Royal Family.
The consequences that Harry and Meghan face after leaving the Royal Family
In a December statement, Harry said he “felt compelled” to abandon his role as royal and leave the United Kingdom in 2020, due to these concerns about his safety.
As a result of his decision, there has been an apparently irremediable rift with his older brother, Prince William, and being relegated to a tertiary role with respect to his father, King Charles III, which has been evident since the monarch's coronation. until the recent meeting of a few minutes that he had with him, when he traveled to London after the king's cancer diagnosis was announced.
Prince Harry loses another battle and his security is taken away in the United Kingdom
On Wednesday, however, High Court Judge Peter Lane confirmed the decision of the United Kingdom government and, specifically, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures to reduce Prince Harry's security on British soil. .
“The court has determined that there was no illegality in reaching the decision of February 28, 2020. The decision was not irrational. “The decision was not marred by procedural injustices,” the judge ruled, adding: “The court has also found that there has been no illegality on the part of RAVEC in respect of its arrangements for some of the claimant's visits to Great Britain.”
