LONDON (AP) – Prince Harry, 37, is seeking police protection for his family in court during a visit to Great Britain. The British Home Office had previously rejected their proposal to pay for police protection in such cases.
It is currently not possible for Prince Harry and his family to visit their homeland because it is too dangerous, his lawyer said at a court hearing in London on Friday. Harry is challenging the cancellation in court. Parts of the hearing took place behind closed doors.
Prince argues that his privately employed security personnel in the United States may not function in the same way in Great Britain and do not have access to essential Secret Service information. “Of course he looks forward to meeting his family and friends and supporting the organizations he cares about,” Harry’s lawyer said during the hearing. “Plus, it is their home and always will be.” The verdict was not expected on Friday.
Since the departure of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan from the British royal family, the Queen’s grandson has only returned to Great Britain twice – once for the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip, once for the unveiling of a statue of his mother Princess Diana. For. , According to the PA news agency, he is said to be followed by paparazzi during one of his visits.
However, on both visits, Meghan (40) and son Archie stayed at the family’s new home in California. Harry and Meghan’s daughter Lillibet, who was born last June, is yet to meet most of her royal relatives in the UK.
