  • Title: Prince Harry appears in London court to challenge security downgrade
  • Date: 9th April 2025
  • Summary: SHOTLIST: LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM (APR. 9, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF PRINCE HARRY ARRIVING AT COURT SCRIPT The Duke of Sussex appeared at a London court on Wednesday, Apr. 9, for the second day of a hearing challenging the British government's decision to downgrade his taxpayer-funded security during visits to the United Kingdom. The case centers on a decision made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) after Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, announced their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020. RAVEC concluded that the couple would no longer receive the same level of security protection while in the U.K. Although he no longer uses the HRH title, Harry remains a member of the British royal family and is fifth in line to the throne. In a rare visit to the U.K. since relocating to California, the younger son of King Charles III arrived at London’s Court of Appeal for a two-day hearing. Tuesday’s session involved an appeal against a prior High Court ruling that upheld RAVEC’s decision as lawful.
