Why Prince Harry is appealing a court ruling over loss of UK security
- Prince Harry is appealing a UK court ruling that upheld the government's decision to remove his police protection.
- Harry lost his taxpayer-funded security after stepping down from royal duties and moving to the US in 2020.
- He argues that he and his family face security risks in the UK due to online hostility and media attention.
- A lower court ruled that the government's offer of "bespoke" security on a case-by-case basis was legal.
- This appeal is the latest in a series of legal battles Harry has fought against the UK government and media outlets.
