Prince Harry's bid for UK government-funded security has been dismissed by the Court of Appeal, leaving the Duke of Sussex to finance his own protection measures. The decision comes after a long legal battle, with Harry arguing that as a member of the royal family, he should receive the same security support as other senior members.
The court ruled that Harry's security needs are not the same as those of other senior royals, and therefore he is not entitled to the same level of protection. This decision has sparked debate among the public, with some questioning whether Harry should receive taxpayer-funded security given his decision to step back from royal duties.
While Harry has expressed concerns about his safety, particularly after receiving threats, the court found that his security needs could be adequately met through private means. The Duke of Sussex has yet to comment on the ruling, but it is expected that he will now have to make alternative arrangements for his security.
