Harry said he has “now found out the truth”. He added that it would be “nice to have that reconciliation part now.”

Why did Prince Harry lose his security?

In April, Prince Harry attended hearings related to the British government’s decision to remove his high-level security protection, a move that followed his stepping down from royal duties in 2020.

By leaving his royal role, Harry lost the automatic personal protection that had been provided by the British police.

The ruling stated that his security would now be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, which Prince Harry did not agree with.

During a court appearance on April 8, Harry’s lawyer argued that both he and Meghan Markle felt “forced” to step away from royal life because of the lack of security.

Prince Harry’s High Court appeal

In a written statement presented in court, Harry’s barrister said: “On 8 January 2020, (the duke) and his wife felt they had no choice but to step back from their roles as full-time official members of the royal family, as they believed they were not receiving protection from the institution. However, they still wished to carry out their duties in support of the late queen as privately funded members of the royal family.”

The barrister also mentioned that it was determined “there is no basis for publicly funded security support for the duke and duchess within Great Britain.”

Harry’s attorney, Shaheed Fatima, emphasized the personal danger to Harry due to the lack of protection.

“One mustn’t forget the human dimension to this case. There is a person sitting behind me whose safety, whose security and whose life is at stake,” Fatima stated.

Fatima continued, “There’s a person sitting behind me who’s been told he’s getting a special bespoke process when he knows and has experienced a process that is manifestly inferior.”

Who pays for Prince Harry’s security?

The British public funds the security for the royal family. However, since moving abroad, Prince Harry and Meghan have been using a privately funded security team.

Harry has taken legal action over RAVEC’s decision on the level of protection he should receive while in the UK.

The High Court previously stated that Harry’s “status” had changed because he’s no longer a “full-time working member of the royal family.”

Prince Harry argued that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, can’t feel “at home” or “safe” in the UK unless they have police protection.
