Prince Harry has gone to the High Court in an attempt to overturn a ruling from the UK Government that has blocked him from paying for police protection when Team Sussex is in Old Blighty. They lost access to taxpayer-funded police security when he and Meghan ‘stepped back’ from royal duties in 2020. The US-based Duke wants to visit his home country but says his private security team doesn’t have the authority to work abroad. A statement released by his legal team says “Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth, for life” – and that’s ongoing, particularly in the UK. Meanwhile, Harry’s uncle Prince Andrew is preparing to defend himself against allegations of sexual assault in a civil trial in the US. His lawyers have filed documents that show his legal team will question a psychologist who treated his accuser Virginia Giuffre, claiming she might “suffer from false memories”. That trial is set to go ahead at the end of the year.
