Prince Harry wins bid to challenge UK government over security arrangements

Prince Harry has won the right to launch a legal challenge against the British government over its UK security arrangements. The Duke of Sussex is fighting a ruling that bars him from paying for police protection for himself and his family when he visits his homeland from California. His complaint was based on an argument that the government committee that made the decision was not impartial, as the Queen’s top aide, Sir Edward Young, was involved. Harry’s lawyer, Shaheed Fatima, said it had not been “appropriate” that any member of the royal household had been involved in the decision, especially after the Duke had assured the committee that it was “independent”. The legal case also revealed what Harry described as “significant tensions” between himself and Sir Edward.
