Court hears Prince Harry was unaware royal household was involved in decision to deny protection
The court heard on Thursday that Harry was unaware that the royal household was involved in what he thought was an"independent decision".
Prince Harry's lawyer, Shaheed Fatima, told a High Court hearing that the queen's private secretary Edward Young was part of the organisation that decided Harry should no longer receive the same degree of protection after he stopped being a working royal. The decision was made in February 2020 by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures RAVEC, on behalf of the Home Office.
The Home Office legal team said Prince Harry's request for a judicial review of the decision should be denied because the"tensions" between him and the royal household were irrelevant and it was his change in status to a non-working royal that had led to the decision of RAVEC.
