Prince Harry’s Battle for Security: Duke Faces Major Warning Over UK’s Appeal
Prince Harry finds himself in a challenging situation as he continues to push for an appeal regarding the removal of his Royal Taxpayer Funded Security Deposit.
Despite his efforts, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Kings and Public Figures (RAFEEC) decided in February 2020 that Prince Harry should receive a different level of security compared to other members of the Royal Family.
This decision came following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's announcement to step down as full-time senior royals, relinquishing their official royal duties.
High Court Judge Sir Peter Lane recently upheld RAFEEC's decision, deeming it rational and final.
However, a new development has surfaced, allowing Prince Harry the opportunity to take his case to the Court of Appeal.
This decision comes at a significant cost to both Prince Harry and the British taxpayers, despite previous setbacks.
During a segment on TalkTV, Kevin O'Sullivan expressed his skepticism about Prince Harry's chances of success in the appeal process.
He emphasized Prince Harry's unwavering determination to be treated on par with other members of the Royal Family.
O'Sullivan remarked, “He's completely obsessed with this and I would say again, you can't prejudge these things, but he's hiding from nothing.”
The ongoing legal battle has raised questions about the rationality of pursuing the appeal, especially considering the financial burden it places on the British taxpayers.
O'Sullivan highlighted the substantial costs involved and predicted that Prince Harry is likely to face another defeat in court, further straining the financial resources of the public.
Reports suggest that during Prince Harry's recent visit to the UK, he faced security concerns and declined accommodation at the Royal Residence.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has not returned to the United Kingdom for nearly two years, indicating a prolonged absence from the royal scene.
In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle embarked on an unofficial visit to Nigeria, where they encountered challenges in securing adequate protection.
Despite the safety concerns associated with the country, the couple did not receive the same level of security typically afforded during official royal tours.
Following the initial ruling by RAFEEC, a spokesperson for Prince Harry clarified that he seeks fair treatment in accordance with established protocols.
The spokesperson emphasized the importance of applying consistent rules and ensuring equal consideration for all individuals, including Prince Harry, based on RAFEEC's policies.
Prince Harry's case revolves around the argument that RAFEEC failed to adhere to its own risk assessment procedures when determining his security arrangements.
He maintains that the specialized process designed for him does not adequately substitute a comprehensive risk analysis, underscoring the need for a just resolution through the Court of Appeal.
As the legal proceedings continue, Prince Harry refrains from commenting further on the matter, expressing his hope for a fair outcome in his pursuit of justice through the Court of Appeal.
The complexities surrounding his security status and the implications for the British monarchy remain at the forefront of this ongoing saga.
