Prince Harry demanded to know who downgraded his police protection: ‘I would like that person’s name’
lost his bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection for his family and will now have to pay out of pocket for his family’s security when visiting the UK.Court documents have revealed that Harry even asked for the identity of who demoted the level of his personal protection on home soil.“I would like that person’s name,” Harry said, according to the 52-page ruling published Wednesday.Sir Peter Lane, the judge of the High Court in London, ruled that there was no unlawfulness in the initial decision to strip the Sussexes of their security.Harry could now potentially be made to foot a large bill to reimburse taxpayers’ legal costs after he was unable to prove that he had been treated “unfairly.”The exiled royal argued that he was not given the “same degree” of protection after quitting royal life, and even compared his situation to the dangers his late mother, Princess Diana, faced before her tragic death in 1997.Harry told a hearing that security concerns were preventing him from visiting his home turf.However, Judge Lane said that “there is no merit in this contention.”“The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children,” Harry last year told the court in a written statement read out by his lawyers.

Prince Harry loses bid for personal police protection in UK at London High Court
were stripped of funded police protection after they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.Harry’s lawyers had sought a judicial review of the government’s refusal of his offer to hire police officers as his private security detail, which was initially denied by London’s High Court in May 2023.After the duke’s lawyers appealed the ruling, a judge granted permission for a full hearing to take place that would review the Home Office’s decision to strip the Sussexes of security.The father of two appeared in court on home soil back in December where his challenge of the initial ruling was heard over a two-and-a-half day period.At the ruling, the High Court judge slammed Harry’s claim that he was entitled to a full risk analysis by the Risk Management Board (RMB).“The claimant had no right to require RAVEC to initiate a fresh RMB process in the light of his changed situation,” Judge Lane said.“In determining what fairness demands in this context, it is important to understand that undergoing an RMB assessment is not a right or even a benefit. It is, as Sir James Eadie KC (for the Home Office) submits, an analytical tool.”“I do not consider that there was any procedural unfairness, such as might vitiate the decision,” he added.The case was held in private over privacy concerns.Harry told a hearing that security concerns were preventing him from visiting his home turf.However, Judge Lane said that “there is no merit in this contention.”“The UK is my home.

King Charles is keeping succession plans ‘highly secret’ from Prince Harry: expert
his cancer diagnosis.And according to royal expert and author Tom Quinn, Charles’s ailing health prompted him to work on a concrete plan for when its time to hand over the reins to Prince William.“Succession planning is highly secret and no one trusts Harry to be part of it for the simple reason that if he feels in any way slighted or not given what he feels he deserves he will run straight to the media,” Quinn told the Mirror.Quinn, who wrote “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” suggested that William, the heir to the throne, is “at the heart” of the King’s succession plans.“Charles is also aware that, as future king, William is at the heart of the succession planning that is taking place right now — officials had assumed Charles would remain healthy at least into his mid-eighties before succession planning would need to begin but in fact, it has now begun and indicates perhaps that Charles’ cancer is more dangerous than we have been led to believe,” Quinn added.The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.It comes just days after it was reported that William had blocked any chance of his younger brother’s return to the royal fold after he reportedly expressed interest in a partial return to royal duties.The Prince of Wales, 41, has apparently made it clear to Harry that he’s no longer welcome to return as a working royal after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, shut the door on royal life in 2020.“Prince William has his own private turmoil,” royal expert and commentator Helena Chard told Fox News.

the hit Netflix series and went on to receive an Emmy nomination for his work on the show.Recalling bumping into the Duke of Sussex at a polo match a few years ago, Smith revealed what Harry said to him.“He was like ‘alright grandad? I was like ‘alright mate?'” Smith told the BBC.In January 2023, Harry admitted to watching “The Crown” and said he goes so far as to “fact check” the show’s account of the royal family.During his appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Meghan Markle’s husband discussed the controversial drama when asked if he had “binged” anything on TV lately.Colbert asked if “The Crown” was one of the shows, saying Harry “had to have watched some” of it given that it’s all about his family.“Yes, I have watched some of ‘The Crown,’” he revealed, before Colbert asked if he’s watched any of the recent episodes.“The older stuff and the more recent stuff,” Harry clarified.The runaway royal was then asked if he did any “fact checking” while watching the show, prompting an animated response from Harry followed by laughter from the audience.“Yes, I do actually,” the father of two revealed. “Which, by the way, is another reason why it’s so important that history has it right.”Harry first admitted to dabbling in the hit Netflix show in February 2021 during an expansive interview with former “The Late Late Show” host James Corden.Harry told Corden that he prefers watching the show to reading headlines about himself and his wife.“They don’t pretend to be news — it’s fictional, but it’s loosely based on the truth,” he said of the show.
