Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were removed from taxpayer-funded police protection when they stepped back from being “working royals” and moved to the US in 2020.
A judge has ruled not to greenlight such a hearing, BBC informed of.
During the last hearing, Prince Harry’s lawyer argued that he should be allowed to challenge a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures – also known as REVEC. However, Home Office lawyers opposed the idea of allowing wealthy people to buy protection from the police.
Last week, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were involved in a “devastating car chase” involving paparazzi photographers after attending an awards ceremony in New York. The incident took place on Tuesday night after leaving the Ms Foundation for Women, where Meghan was honored for her work.
