Harry noted that he has now “found out the truth” and said it would be “nice to have that reconciliation part now.”
Why was Harry denied security protection?
Back in April, Harry appeared in court as proceedings took place concerning the British government’s decision to remove his automatic security coverage — a change that followed his withdrawal from official royal duties in 2020.
Leaving his position as a working royal meant Harry was no longer entitled to standard police protection by default.
Instead, the arrangement was revised so that security would be considered on a case-by-case basis — a framework Prince Harry has openly opposed.
At the April 8 court hearing, his legal team argued that both Harry and Meghan felt as though they were “forced” to leave royal life because of their security situation.
In a written statement read in court, Harry’s legal representative explained: “On 8 January 2020, (the duke) and his wife felt forced to step back from the role of full-time official working members of the royal family as they considered they were not being protected by the institution, but they wished to continue their duties in support of the late queen as privately funded members of the royal family.”

It was also determined that “there is no basis for publicly funded security support for the duke and duchess within Great Britain.”
Harry’s attorney, Shaheed Fatima, emphasized the personal nature of the situation: “There is a person sitting behind me whose safety, whose security and whose life is at stake.”
She continued, “There’s a person sitting behind me who’s been told he’s getting a special bespoke process when he knows and has experienced a process that is manifestly inferior.”
Who covers Prince Harry’s security now?
Royal family security in the U.K. is publicly funded. However, since relocating overseas, Prince Harry and Meghan have relied on private protection services.
Harry has taken legal action against RAVEC’s decision regarding the level of protection he receives during visits to Britain.
The High Court was previously told that his “status” had changed due to his no longer being a “full-time working member of the royal family.”
Harry has argued that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, cannot feel “safe” or “at home” in the U.K. unless they are afforded police protection during visits.
