The British government argued that Prince Harry and his family shouldn’t be able to pay UK police as security guards just because they are wealthy.
Prince Harry continued his court battle against the British government Tuesday for his right to hire UK police to protect his royal-adjacent family during their trips to the homeland.
because its denial was inconsistent with legislation that allows a police chief to provide special police services for payment, his legal team contended. Even if it did have the authority, they argued was wrong not to consider an exception or hear representations on his behalf. Layers for the British government countered that reimbursing police for security at special events such as marathons, soccer matches and celebrity weddings was not equivalent to using “police officers as private bodyguards for the wealthy” — especially considering Harry andThe Sussexes lost the privilege of government-subsidized bodyguards when they moved to California three years ago — a ruling Harry is also battling in a separate ongoing legal case.
Last year, Britain’s former counter-terrorism police chief said last year that far-right extremists have made credible threats against the family.
