Harry’s lawyer stresses fears due to reduced security measures.

Prince Harry’s lawyer argued his “life is at stake” in his bid to restore UK police protection . The UK government defended reducing Harry’s security , citing a “flexible and tailored approach” to his circumstances. The Court of Appeal’s decision will be given in writing at a later date, likely after April 20.

Prince Harry’s “life is at stake”, his lawyer warned as the royal’s bid to restore his UK police protection came to a close on Wednesday in a high-profile London court case. The 40-year-old prince has been fighting to get his security in Britain brought back to the same high level it was before he and his wife Meghan split from the royal family in 2020 and dramatically moved to live in self-imposed exile in the United States. Harry is no longer considered a working royal and the government decided several years ago he would not receive the “same degree” of publicly funded protection as before.



But with Harry sitting behind her on the second and final day of the challenge in the Court of Appeal, the prince’s lawyer Shaheed Fatima said the judges “must not forget the human dimension to this case”..
