Prince Harry stands firm in his resolve, announcing his appeal against a recent UK court ruling that upheld the lawful reduction of his personal security level for visits to Britain.
The legal dispute stems from British authorities' decision in February 2020 to downgrade publicly-funded protection during Prince Harry's stays in the UK.
Following his relocation to North America in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex withdrew from his duties as a working royal, settling in California, USA.
High Court judge Peter Lane, in a comprehensive 52-page judgment, validated the legality of the 'bespoke process' implemented by a committee under the jurisdiction of the interior ministry, deeming it compliant with the legal framework.
A legal representative for Prince Harry has confirmed his intention to challenge the ruling by pursuing an appeal to the Court of Appeal, England's second highest court, in pursuit of justice.
The Court of Appeal will scrutinize the grounds for hearing the case, as asserted by Harry's spokesperson, who emphasized the Duke's quest for fair and lawful treatment, not preferential treatment, ensuring equitable consideration compared to others.
Conversely, the interior ministry expressed contentment with the court's decision and conveyed its intent to carefully consider its subsequent actions in light of the ruling.
