Britain’s Prince Harry says he is deeply disappointed after a UK court upheld the decision to deny him full police protection.

Britain’s Prince Harry says he is "devastated" after losing his appeal against the British government's decision to downgrade his security.

The government reduced Harry’s security in 2020 after he and his wife Meghan stepped down as senior royals and moved to the United States. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, challenged the Home Office’s decision, arguing he had been unfairly treated.

On Friday, the Court of Appeal upheld the ruling, with three judges stating that while Harry understandably felt aggrieved, it did not amount to a legal error.

Buckingham Palace said the matter had been thoroughly examined by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion. The Home Office welcomed the decision, calling the UK’s protective security system “rigorous and proportionate.”
