The appeal was rejected, the no to escorting Harry to GB confirmed

(ANSA) – LONDON, APRIL 15 – British justice today denied the admissibility of a further appeal presented by rebel Prince Harry against the government’s refusal to continue to guarantee him and his family an automatic police escort during their stays in the United Kingdom. The decision is accompanied by the confirmation of a verdict last February against his initial appeal, as part of a legal proceeding that has been ongoing for months, and the order for payment of legal costs against the second son of King Charles III and the deceased Lady Diana. The no to the escort had been set by the Ministry of the Interior following the abandonment of his role as an “active” senior member of the royal family imposed after the traumatic breakup of 2020 and the move with his wife Meghan to the USA. While a parallel verdict had already denied Harry the possibility of paying the police out of his own pocket to guarantee “family safety” at home, rejecting the idea that he could be entitled to the same level of public protection due to him until 2020, except any specific situations to be assessed from time to time by the authorities. Harry had tried to convince the judge to reopen the case before the Court of Appeal in London in a written statement read by his lawyers: “The United Kingdom – we read – is my home and is crucial as part of the legacy of my parents children; but it is not possible (to attend) if their safety is not guaranteed. I cannot even put my wife in danger and, given my life experiences, I am also reluctant to put myself at risk unnecessarily.” The Duke of Sussex in his most recent trips to the Kingdom (including the quick visit made to his father, a few hours after being informed of the cancer diagnosed in the 75-year-old King Charles, and awaiting a new passage in May for the Invictus Games) it is privately protected.
