The latest ruling marks a continuation of Harry's fight that began in September 2021, focusing on a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which comprises officials from the government, police, and royal household members. Harry’s team argued that the policy impacting his security was not only unfair but also unlawful, depriving him of necessary protection.

Despite his ongoing legal efforts, Harry is now considered for police protection only on a case-by-case basis, a process that adds further complexity and uncertainty to his visits. This ruling adds to Harry’s previous legal challenges, including those surrounding security and privacy issues with tabloid press coverage, with a significant hearing scheduled next week regarding these allegations.

The situation unfolds in tandem with Harry's personal visits back to Britain for family events, highlighting the challenges faced by public figures navigating security and privacy in a complex post-royal landscape.

As developments arise, Prince Harry's ongoing court battles raise questions about the balance of personal safety and public duty within the royal family's modern context.
