Prince Harry’s Security Showdown With UK Government Isn’t Over Yet

Prince Harry has received a legal boost in Britain after a judge said he can appeal a high court ruling which dismissed his lawsuit against the U.K. government and their decision to remove his full-time state funded bodyguards.

A court order issued on May 23 and published on June 7 has revealed that the prince’s legal team have been given the green light to appeal the high court judgment handed down in February, which dismissed Harry’s request for a judicial review of the government’s security removal
Harry’s legal team initially attempted to appeal the decision earlier this year, which the courts denied in April, along with ordering him to pay 90 percent of the government’s costs.

After applying directly to the Court of Appeal last month, Judge David Bean has ruled that it will hear the royal’s case, saying that he is persuaded “not without hesitation” that the royal’s case could have a “real prospect of success.”
