Prince Harry has been granted permission to appeal a ruling that rejected his challenge against the British government's decision to remove his police protection while in the UK.

In February 2020, the Home Office decided Harry would not receive automatic police security after he stepped back from royal duties and relocated to California with Meghan.

The High Court initially dismissed his challenge, but the Court of Appeal will now hear his case.

The controversy centers around the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures' (RAVEC) decision, which was initially supported by the High Court.
