This follows his move to North America and stepping back from royal duties. His lawsuit against the UK's Home Office challenges their refusal to allow him the same level of security upon visits from his residence in California.

Represented by Shaheed Fatima, Prince Harry asserts that his safety and the implications for the UK’s reputation were insufficiently weighed when his security level was reduced.

In contrast, the Home Office, represented by James Eadie, contends that Harry's case was lawfully handled and that the potential impact of security decisions was indeed considered, referencing Princess Diana’s death as part of their deliberation.

Following a prior unsuccessful attempt to gain permission to personally finance his UK police protection, this latest suit is largely being heard behind closed doors to protect sensitive security details. The final ruling will be issued after the hearing’s conclusion on Thursday.
