Prince Harry has lost a bid to bring a second legal challenge against the Home Office over his security arrangements when in the UK.The Duke of Sussex asked for permission to bring a High Court challenge over a decision that he should not be allowed to pay privately for his protective security. At a hearing earlier this month, a judge was asked by Harry’s legal team to allow the duke to proceed with a claim over decisions taken by the Home Office and the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) – which falls under the remit of the department – in December 2021 and February 2022.The Home Office, opposing Harry’s claim, said Ravec considered it was “not appropriate” for wealthy people to “buy” protective security, which might include armed officers, when it had decided that “the public interest does not warrant” someone receiving such protection on a publicly-funded basis.
