  • Prince Harry lost his Court of Appeal challenge against the Home Office regarding his UK security arrangements.
  • The challenge stemmed from a 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) to reduce Harry's security protection after he stepped down as a senior royal.
  • Harry's legal team argued the decision put his life at risk, but the court found his arguments, while compelling, lacked a legal basis to overturn Ravec's decision.

  • Harry could potentially appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
