Prince Harry Expresses Desire for His Children to Feel at Home in the UK in Court Statement

Prince Harry is fighting the Home Office in court, insisting on security for his family to ensure they can safely reside in the UK.

He expressed his deep regret over having to leave Britain in 2020 due to security concerns. As a non-working royal living in the US, his security entitlements were reassessed by a royal security committee (Ravec) and adjusted to reflect perceived risks, similar to other high-profile visitors.

His legal team claims this downgrading is unfair and unlawful, and lacks transparency. The government's stance is that Harry's role change justifies the security shift. The two-and-a-half-day hearing concluded without Harry's presence, and a decision by Mr Justice Lane is pending.
