INTERESTING:Late Queen’s letter reveals true feelings about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s security
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back as full-time working royals they lost many of the trappings of the life they had known together – including the automatic police security they had previously enjoyed. Instead, Harry now receives taxpayer-funded police security on a “case by case” basis, meaning on some occasions when he returns to his home country he won’t be given it, if the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) who oversee security arrangements, don’t deem it necessary.
Prince Harry has been candid about his frustrations around the removal of his automatic security and launched a legal challenge against the Home Office to try and get it back. Earlier this year in February, the High Court ruled that RAVEC’s decision to provide “bespoke” security arrangements to the Duke of Sussex was “legally sound”, but Harry has since won the right to take his case to the Court of Appeal. While it’s well known that Harry disputes his security removal, in a separate legal case he is involved in a letter written on behalf of his grandmother the late Queen Elizabeth revealed her true feelings on the matter.
