Prince Harry is requesting a judicial review for him to personally pay for police protection while in the U.K., Prince Harry’s rep says Harry wants to bring Archie and Lilibet to visit his home country.
LONDON (AP) — “Prince Harry has filed a claim for a judicial review against the British government’s decision not to let him personally pay for police protection while in the U.K.
The Duke of Sussex’s legal representative said Saturday that Harry wants to bring his children Archie and Lilibet to visit his home country from the U.S. but that is too risky without police protection.
The representative said Harry wanted to fund the police protection himself. His private security team in the U.S. doesn’t have adequate jurisdiction abroad or access to U.K. intelligence information, they said.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex personally fund a private security team for their family, yet that security cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed whilst in the U.K.,” a statement said.
“In the absence of such protection, Prince Harry and his family are unable to return to his home.”
