Prince Harry set to discover outcome of court battle over his UK security arrangements - live

08.35 EDT Prince Harry set to discover outcome of court battle over his UK security arrangements The Duke of Sussex will shortly find out whether or not he’s won a legal case over his security arrangements while in the UK. Prince Harry’s taxpayer-funded protection was effectively downgraded in 2020, after he stopped being a working royal and moved abroad with his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to raise their son, Archie. In March 2020, the couple moved from Vancouver to California, where their daughter - Lilibet - was born a year later.

As he is no longer a working royal, the duke’s security in the UK is now made on a case-by-case basis decided by the executive committee for the protection of royalty and public figures, known as Ravec. Harry’s lawyers have accused Britain’s Home Office, or interior ministry, of “singling him out” for “inferior treatment” and say that his safety, security and life are at stake in his appeal against arrangements for his security while in the UK. The Duke of Sussex has previously said he faces a greater risk than his late mother, with “additional layers of racism and extremism”. He also believes his family faces an “international threat” and has already highlighted that al Qaida had called for him to be killed after Ravec’s decision. The Home Office is opposing Harry’s security appeal on Ravec’s behalf as it has legal responsibility over its decisions. Sir James Eadie KC, for the Home Office, has said Ravec’s decision for a “bespoke” arrangement was seen to have “positive advantages” as a flexible, tailored approach better suited to the duke’s circumstances. The judges, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean and Lord Justice Edis, will give their decision at London’s court of appeal at 2pm today.
