In a recent ruling by High Court judge Peter Lane, Prince Harry's appeal against the decision to remove his right to security in December 2023 has been denied. The UK government and the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) have stood firm on their initial verdict, indicating that the Sussexes may not be visiting the UK as a family in the near future.

According to documents obtained by People, the judge stated that the decision made in February 2020 to revoke Prince Harry's security was lawful and not marred by procedural unfairness. Despite Prince Harry's legal team's efforts to secure a fair and lawful application of RAVEC's rules, the request for security was not granted.

The Duke of Sussex has expressed his concerns about the safety of his family while in the UK, emphasizing the importance of protection for his children, Archie and Lilibet. Prince Harry has insisted that his children should feel safe and at home in the UK, a place he considers central to their heritage.

Prince Harry's legal team has confirmed his plans to appeal the ruling, arguing that the security process applied to him was insufficient and did not provide the necessary risk analysis. "The Duke of Sussex hopes he will obtain justice from the Court of Appeal and makes no further comment while the case is ongoing," his legal spokesperson stated.

Prince Harry's commitment to ensuring the safety of his family during their visits to the UK remains a top priority, despite the recent setback in the court ruling.
