The 38-year-old had suggested paying for the costs himself. But the British Home Office refused. The ministry argued it was not appropriate for wealthy people to buy police protection.
The London High Court on Tuesday rejected an action against this decision as inadmissible. Regardless of this, it should still be checked whether the downgrading of the security measures for Harry, his wife Duchess Meghan (41) and his two children Archie (4) and Lilibet (1) is appropriate and whether the decision was made on a comprehensible basis. It was initially unclear when a negotiation would take place.
Multiple lawsuits
The lawsuit with the Home Office is just one of several Harry is currently fighting in the UK. In a civil case against the publisher of the tabloids “Mirror” and “Sunday Mirror” it is even expected that the prince will testify in the coming weeks. It is about allegations of spying, such as listening to voice messages.
Harry is also conducting similar proceedings against the publisher of the newspapers “Daily Mail” and “Mail on Sunday” as well as the publisher of the newspapers “Sun” and the now discontinued “News Group Newspapers”. Harry and Meghan broke away from the closer circle of the British royal family at the beginning of 2020 and now live with their children in the US state of California.
