“Prince Harry Loses Battle for Police Protection in the UK”

Prince Harry is left completely unprotected, as he has definitively lost the battle to have police protection granted to royalty and public figures in the UK through the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC, for its acronym in English).

In the midst of the persecution that endangered the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a last legal resource was proposed by Prince Harry, who wanted the UK government to grant him a contract with RAVEC for his personal security, paid with the Lady Di’s youngest son’s own money.

However, the High Court of London ruled against the Duke of Sussex and confirmed that hiring the police is illegal, so Harry and his family can never again be protected by the RAVEC when they are in the United Kingdom, says telemundo. com

This appeal was filed by the prince after the Ministry of the Interior told him that it is illegal for an individual to contract the RAVEC, since it is a public service, paid for with taxes.

The prince’s lawyers argued that a 1996 law does allow police to provide special police services “subject to payment”.

The Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures of the United Kingdom is a highly specialized security and intelligence body that knows all the protocols of royalty.

Prince Harry was protected throughout his life by this specialized security body. However, he lost that privilege when he decided to step away from his duties in the Crown and go to live in the United States with his family in 2020.

However, with this latest ruling from London’s High Court, Meghan Markle’s husband lost his last chance to regain public safety privilege.

Now, the only recourse left to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to be protected in the United Kingdom is to hire private security, which implies trusting a corporation they do not know.

But the legal issues do not end for the son of Princess Diana of Wales, Prince Harry still has the trial against ‘Daily Mail’ pending for meddling in his private life.
