Prince Harry has lost his bid in the Court of Appeal to have his police protection in the UK reinstated. He previously argued that the absence of security is why his wife and children no longer travel to Britain, calling such visits unsafe.

Following the court’s decision, Harry spoke to the BBC and voiced frustration, saying his father “won’t speak to me” and describing himself as the target of an “Establishment stitch-up,” according to the Daily Mail.

He went on to accuse the Royal Household of meddling in his efforts to regain police protection, expressing surprise when he found out that two senior palace members sit on the committee responsible for such decisions.

Harry has since asked the Home Secretary to examine the extent of influence the Royal Family and Ravec had in determining the outcome of his case.

A government spokesperson told The Mail on Sunday: “All members work together to advise the independent chair on the protective security of the Royal Family and key public figures.

“As part of long-standing arrangements these decisions have been taken by Ravec, not the Home Secretary.”
