Although they have not spoken in any sense, the Prince Harry y Meghan Markle They have found themselves in the middle of the storm unleashed by the publication of Endgame, Omid Scobie’s book. But, while all kinds of information has been reported regarding the reaction that the Palace could have to the publication, the Sussexes maintain their own legal confrontations. Meghan is preparing for the battle against her half-sister, because despite the efforts of her lawyers, a date has already been given for a court hearing. For his part, Prince Harry has three different cases against the publishing groups behind the largest British tabloids, but they are not his only legal conflicts. One of the struggles that has drawn the most attention is the one that the Prince has with the British government, after the public security that he enjoyed when he had a position as a senior member of the British Royal Family was withdrawn. As is known, upon abandoning his position, the security paid by the treasury was withdrawn. Given this, the Prince offered to pay for it, something that was rejected because government resources are not for sale to individuals and this could cause a negative precedent for the future. Now, his lawyers want the decision made by the government to be annulled, and are in a three-day hearing in London, in which they discuss what they have described as the ‘injustice’ of making this decision. The government has been clear that it will offer security in cases where it is necessary and that each situation will be analyzed individually, something that seems not to have been enough for Harry.

At what stage is the negotiation
During these hearings, lawyers from the Home Office – the government agency that is in charge of these situations – explained that they have proposed making ‘tailored arrangements, specifically designed for him’, instead of granting him the traditional security that the rest have. of senior members of the British Royal Family – only royals who work representing the crown have this benefit. The proposal made by the government agency from the first moment was the same as that offered to other high-level visitors. It must be remembered that the Prince already lost a petition in this same case and that now he is exhausting a new instance to make a change in the final decision.
It must be remembered that the decision was made in 2020 by the Executive Committee of the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures – known as Ravec – and that, since then, through his lawyers, the Prince made it clear that he did not feel safe traveling. with his family to the United Kingdom under these circumstances.

The stance of Prince Harry’s team
Harry’s attorney noted through court documents that: “The accuser’s position has been – and continues to be – that he should be given state security given the threats/risks he faces.” At another point, it is said that said risk: ‘stems from his birth and continued status, as the son of her Majesty, the King.’ Along these lines, at the hearing this Tuesday, according to the BBC, Harry’s lawyers pointed out that there has been a lack of transparency in the process and that the case has not been treated like that of other people.
“Ravec should have considered the ‘impact’ that a successful attack on the plaintiff would have, keeping in mind his status, background and profile within the Royal Family – into which he was born and will have for the rest of his life – and his constant charity work and public service,” said the Prince’s lawyer. The government’s response was direct, her position has changed so: “In these circumstances, security will not be provided under the same terms as before.”
The hearings are expected to continue until this Thursday, but the final decision will not yet be known. Harry’s legal team argues that he has been treated unfairly in this process, while the government’s position has remained firm since the beginning of this legal disagreement.
