Harry’s step back from royals led to ‘unique’ circumstances, court told
Prince Harry’s decision to step back from his life as a working royal resulted in a “unique set of circumstances”, a government barrister has told the Court of Appeal.
Sir James Eadie KC said it was right to take a flexible approach to the level of personal security he should be given after he stepped back in early 2020.
The Duke of Sussex is asking three judges to overturn a decision to downgrade the police protection he is given at public expense when he visits the UK.
On Tuesday, the first day of his appeal, his barrister argued he had been subject to a “so-called bespoke process” with regards to his UK security, that saw him “singled out for different, unjustified and inferior treatment”.
Prince Harry was in court again for the second day of the hearing, with a crowd of photographers and onlookers waiting when he arrived. He waved to reporters before entering the court building.
