Prince Harry’s lawyer is challenging the UK government’s decision to remove his security detail after he moved to the US and renounced his royal status.
Harry claims his safety is at risk due to hostility on social media and in the press.
The committee evaluating his security needs have allegedly treated him unfairly, and Harry argues that his security request was unfairly rejected without his personal input. (Trending: Elon Musk Condemns Arrest Of Jan 6 Protester)
“RAVEC should have considered the ‘impact’ that a successful attack on the claimant would have, bearing in mind his status, background and profile within the royal family – which he was born into and which he will have for the rest of his life,” attorney Shaheed Fatima said.
“RAVEC should have considered, in particular, the impact on the U.K.’s reputation of a successful attack on the claimant.”
“He should be placed in a bespoke position and that bespoke arrangements be… specifically tailored to him,” government attorney James Eadie said.
“He is no longer a member of the cohort of individuals whose security position remains under regular review.”
The government cites cost issues and Harry’s change in royal status as reasons for the decision.
Harry lost a previous challenge to make private payments for police protection while in the UK, and his US security team lacks jurisdiction and UK intelligence access.
“Harry has been in the military,” former bodyguard for Princess Diana Lee Sansum said.
“He’s got a good understanding of security. I imagine he’s pretty switched onto all [the dangers]. But if he wasn’t, I would suggest he does.”
“I would hate to be in his position, but I think being in the States is the best place for him to be. It’s probably the safest place for him to be, I would think.”
“As you know, many people live their lives on social media,” he added.
“You have keyboard warriors and all these trolls on there. You can’t ignore the threats.”
“I would suggest that he take a course that could help him get a more technical handle on his security, but I’m sure his protection team is ultimately professional anyway.”
