Embattled Prince Harry has suffered a crushing defeat in the UK court, as his appeal against a Home Office ruling regarding his security was dismissed, ending a three-and-a-half-year legal battle.
Harry’s legal team put forth the argument that he was ‘singled out’ for ‘unjustified and inferior treatment’, and that he deserved automatic police protection when in the UK.
The Telegraph reported:
“He flew to London last month to attend a two-day hearing at the Court of Appeal, during which his barrister argued that the Home Office committee responsible for VIP security arrangements had failed to adhere to its own policies.
The ruling, handed down by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean and Lord Justice Edis on Friday afternoon, will come as a huge blow to the Duke, who is adamant that without state-backed security, it is too dangerous to bring his wife or children back to the UK.”
Harry has complained that his police protection was withdrawn ‘to trap him and Meghan in the UK’.
In his witness statement, he said that he did not believe his children Archie and Lilibet could ‘feel at home’ in the UK if it was ‘not possible to keep them safe’.
“’The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US’, he said. ‘That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil’.
‘I cannot put my wife in danger like that and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm’s way too’.”
Harry fears a similar fate to that of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, killed in a 1997 Paris car crash.
