Prince Harry’s legal challenge against the Home Office concerning his taxpayer-funded security in the UK has faced a setback. The High Court denied his initial attempt to overturn a decision limiting his security arrangements. This decision was originally made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures due to a change in his status after stepping down from royal duties. However, Prince Harry retains the option to appeal directly to the Court of Appeal.

The Duke of Sussex has also been granted a 10% discount on his legal fees after the government was penalized for a breach of rules during the proceedings. This came about as a result of the Home Office failing to disclose key information on time concerning the committee responsible for overseeing royal and VIP security arrangements. Despite this, the court upheld the Home Office decision, with Sir Peter Lane denying the Duke permission to appeal.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, continue their involvement in creative projects. They are set to produce two series with Netflix, a move that aligns with their efforts to establish a presence in the entertainment industry following their departure from royal duties.

These legal and personal developments highlight the ongoing challenges Prince Harry faces in navigating his security needs and new public life after relocating to the U.S. with his family.
