Prince Harry is challenging the UK resolution to strip him of the security detail after he gave up his role in the royal family. He claimed that the press jeopardized his life when he visited his home after leaving for the United States.
The Duke of Sussex claimed that he needed protection and safety for his family from the press.
The three-day hearing scheduled to begin in London’s High Court is the latest in a string of Harry’s legal cases that have kept London judges busy as he takes on the UK government and the British tabloid media. It was not clear if he would attend Tuesday’s hearing.
Prince Harry couldn’t persuade the judge earlier this year to have guards to guard him when he comes to Town. He presented an idea to pay privately to London Police to guard him but the judge denied that offer after the government lawyer claimed that they shouldn’t make the officers as a safeguards for wealthy.
Prince Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, declared that he didn’t feel safe when he brings his wife and his two children to the UK, especially after being chased by paparazzi following a London charity event.
Prince Harry’s relationship with the Press
Harry‘s relationship was not good with the press since his mother died in a car accident as the driver tried to avoid the photographers in Paris.
The 39-year-old prince is challenging the decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures to provide his security on a “case by case” basis after moving in 2020 to Canada and then California, where he and his family now reside.
Prince Harry’s tensions with Edward
He claimed that the Committee ignored his security request and he requested that the committee shouldn’t include “Edward Young”, the assistant private secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II, as there are significant tensions between them.
The Home Office articulated that the tensions don’t have any links to the resolution. The decision came after Harry gave up his role for the Royal family. The four other lawsuits involve Britain’s best-known tabloids, including a case that alleges the publisher of the Daily Mail libeled him when it ran a story suggesting he had tried to hide his efforts to continue receiving government-funded security. A ruling is expected in that case Friday.
Three other lawsuits allege that journalists at the Mail, the Daily Mirror, and The Sun used unlawful means, such as deception, phone hacking, or hiring private investigators to dig up dirt about him.
