US EditionPrince Harry loses appeal against decision to downgrade his police protection while in the UK
- On Friday, Prince Harry lost his appeal against the UK government's 2020 decision to downgrade his police protection while visiting the country.
- The disagreement began after Harry and Meghan withdrew from their senior royal responsibilities at the start of 2020 and relocated to California, where they requested a reduction in their security provisions.
- The Court of Appeal, presided over by Sir Geoffrey Vos, upheld the decision that the RAVEC committee acted appropriately in evaluating Prince Harry's security needs individually rather than granting automatic protection.

- The ruling ends a multiyear legal challenge, leaving Harry without automatic taxpayer-funded protection in the UK and implying continued travel restrictions for him and his family.
