Judge rules that Prince Harry can sue government over security concerns in UK
While in the UK, Prince Harry will push for the right to hire his own security force
A judge in London decided that Prince Harry can now sue the British government over his security arrangements.
When Harry and wife Meghan Markle gave up their status as senior royals and moved to California in 2020, they lost publicly funded U.K. police protection.
The Duke of Sussex is now challenging the government's refusal to allow him to pay for his own police security when he visits his family in Britain.
A hearing can now take place at the High Court in London, after Judge Jonathan Swift ruled in Prince Harry's favor Friday.
While he has been granted permission to sue the U.K. government, it's far from going to trial.
The Duke of Sussex has requested permission to pay for his own security, claiming that a separate security team in the U.K. is required…
…because his private security team in the U.S. lacks jurisdiction abroad and access to U.K. intelligence information.
