re: Prince Harry Loses Legal Battle on Police Protection When in UK
Prince Harry Back in High Court Over Legal Right to Protection
Prince Harry is preparing for a three-day High Court battle after winning the right to challenge the Home Offices’ decision not to grant him automatic police protection when he is in the UK.
The Guardian 5 DEC 2023
The Duke of Sussex will argue that he was treated unfairly when denied security protection after claiming members of the Royal household should not have been able to influence the process.
The claim, which will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice, comes amid continuing tensions after the King and the Princesses of Wales were named in relation to alleged speculation over the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s unborn child.
The hearing will take place as senior aides meet to discuss the issues arising from the claims, made in Endgame, a book about the Royal family written by Omid Scobie a journalist and friend of the duchess.
At a previous High Court hearing in March last year, the Duke’s legal team were warned not to include evidence that was “inadmissible and should be excluded from proceedings” after being told that legal proceedings did not exist “for the purpose of putting irrelevant matters” in the public domain.
The Dutch edition of Mr Scobie’s book, which alleges the King and Princess made remarks about the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s child, Archie, has been withdrawn from sale.
