In the legal battle against Prince Harry, who demanded that he, his wife Meghan Markle, and their children be given police protection when he visits the UK, the UK government has spent a sizable sum on attorneys. The youngest son of King Charles III will no longer be able to pay the police to keep him safe while he is in his own nation since it will no longer be possible.
The UK government’s appeal that the protection of the Duke of Sussex and his wife during their visit to the country not be covered by taxpayer funds was granted on Tuesday, May 23 by the High Court of the City of London.
The British government has spent a significant amount of money on lawyers in the wake of this major incident in order to avoid providing security for the King’s youngest son, Prince Harry. The government is thought to have spent up to 400,000 euros on legal tools, which has eventually allowed them to prevail in this lawsuit.
“RAVEC’s reasoning was that there are political reasons why those services should not be available for payment, although others are. I can detect nothing that can be said to be unreasonable in that reasoning,” the lawyers explained in court.
Prince Harry has repeatedly demonstrated his deep concern for his safety and the safety of his family by drawing parallels between his predicament and that of his late mother, the late Princess Diana of Wales, who perished in a car accident in Paris, France, as a result of a paparazzi stampede following the vehicle she was in.
“I have seen what happens when someone I love is commodified to a point where they are not treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I see how my wife becomes a victim of these same powerful forces.”
Given the circumstances, Prince Harry may continue to demand that the UK government spend significantly more money on legal counsel because his legal team is anticipated to pursue additional actions that will grant him access to the things he so urgently wants.
