In January 2022, Prince Harry announced that he was to take legal action against the Home Office and the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) for not allowing him to pay for security whenever he and his family visited the UK, per The Independent. A representative for the Duke of Sussex said they were “unable to return” to Britain without police protection due to the fear of his family being attacked.
“The UK will always be Prince Harry’s home and a country he wants his wife and children to be safe in,” his representative said. “With the lack of police protection comes too great a personal risk.” They added that while they “personally fund a private security team for their family,” that team “cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed while in the UK.”
Now that a judicial review into the Home Office and Ravec’s response to Prince Harry’s request has been granted, the British High Court will review “the lawfulness of [the] decision,” per BBC News.
