lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family and will now have to pay out of pocket for his family’s security when visiting the UK.Court documents have revealed that Harry even asked for the identity of who demoted the level of his personal protection on home soil.“I would like that person’s name,” Harry said, according to the 52-page ruling published Wednesday.Sir Peter Lane, the judge of the High Court in London, ruled that there was no unlawfulness in the initial decision to strip the Sussexes of their security.Harry could now potentially be made to foot a large bill to reimburse taxpayers’ legal costs after he was unable to prove that he had been treated “unfairly.”The exiled royal argued that he was not given the “same degree” of protection after quitting royal life, and even compared his situation to the dangers his late mother, Princess Diana, faced before her tragic death in 1997.Harry told a hearing that security concerns were preventing him from visiting his home turf.However, Judge Lane said that “there is no merit in this contention.”“The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children,” Harry last year told the court in a written statement read out by his lawyers.

were stripped of funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.Harry’s lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail, which was initially denied by London’s High Court in May 2023.After the duke’s lawyers appealed the ruling, a judge granted permission for a full hearing to take place that would review the Home Office’s decision to strip the Sussexes of security.The father of two appeared in court on home soil back in December where his challenge of the initial ruling was heard over a two-and-a-half day period.At the ruling, the High Court judge slammed Harry’s claim that he was entitled to a full risk analysis by the Risk Management Board (RMB).“The claimant had no right to require RAVEC to initiate a fresh RMB process in the light of his changed situation,” Judge Lane said.“In determining what fairness demands in this context, it is important to understand that undergoing an RMB assessment is not a right or even a benefit. It is, as Sir James Eadie KC (for the Home Office) submits, an analytical tool.”“I do not consider that there was any procedural unfairness, such as might vitiate the decision,” he added.The case was held in private over privacy concerns.Harry told a hearing that security concerns were preventing him from visiting his home turf.However, Judge Lane said that “there is no merit in this contention.”“The UK is my home.

The Zutons‘ frontman Dave McCabe has praised Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson‘s iconic cover of their song ‘Valerie’, saying it was “a gift from god”.The band have recently made a comeback with their new single ‘Creeping On The Dancefloor’, which was released last month as their first new music for 16 years.In a new interview on Radio X, McCabe discussed how the ‘Valerie’ cover kept them in the public consciousness while they were inactive as a band, even if it took people a while to realise that it was originally their song.“The way I see it, it was like a gift from god and I was there to receive it,” he said.“The band was there to receive it… and some people are like, ‘Were you pissed off when she took your song?’ And I was like, ‘Well not really, because she just immortalised the whole thing.’ Do you know what I mean? Because it was a big song anyway, but that just took it to this whole new level.”McCabe did admit that he felt uneasy about the song at times, especially when people asked how much money he’d made from it. However, nowadays he has no such hard feelings towards the song and believes it has become bigger than the band itself.“I think it’s in the Top 10 of karaoke songs,” he said.
