A High Court judge has ruled against Prince Harry in his legal dispute regarding security protection in the UK.
The judgment favored the Home Office's decision to withdraw security provisions for Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, upon their departure from the UK.
Prince Harry's legal challenge, citing the Home Office's withdrawal of security support as "unlawful," was dismissed by retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane.
The Duchess of Sussex accused the Home Office of unfairly targeting Prince Harry by refusing to allocate taxpayer funds for their security, post their royal exit.
Sir Peter Lane's ruling defended the Home Office's decision, stating that any deviation from standard policy was warranted and rational. He emphasized the absence of procedural unfairness in the decision-making process.
Furthermore, the judge indicated that even if procedural unfairness had occurred, the court would be disinclined to grant relief to the claimant, as the outcome would likely have remained unchanged.
The Sussexes were stripped of their security protection upon relinquishing their roles as working members of the royal family in 2020.
In his court submission, Prince Harry expressed concerns about the safety of returning to the UK with his family, citing perceived dangers.
