The ruling emphasized that <strong data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"623\">since Harry is no longer a working royal and resides abroad<\/strong>, he no longer falls under the core group eligible for automatic, taxpayer-funded protection via <strong data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"729\">RAVEC<\/strong> (the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"1076\">Vos explained that the Duke\u2019s status outside the UK and the royal workforce made it \u201c<strong data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"904\">sensible<\/strong>\u201d that he wouldn\u2019t qualify for round-the-clock state security. However, <strong data-start=\"976\" data-end=\"1054\">temporary protection may still be provided based on specific circumstances<\/strong> during his UK visits.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1427\">Harry attended the appeal hearing personally in April, flying in from California for the two-day session at the Royal Courts of Justice. He has been vocal about feeling <strong data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1278\">\u201cexhausted and overwhelmed\u201d<\/strong> by the ordeal. His legal team framed the case as a fight to protect his family \u2014 wife Meghan Markle, and their children, <strong data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1410\">Archie<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1426\">Lilibet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1639\">\u201cThis one has always mattered the most,\u201d Harry said in an earlier statement, expressing how the verdict represented the <strong data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1577\">safety of his loved ones<\/strong> and his \u201cworst fears\u201d about being exposed without protection.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1641\" data-end=\"1827\">Hopes for family support from <strong data-start=\"1671\" data-end=\"1687\">King Charles<\/strong> did not materialize. A Palace insider confirmed that there\u2019s still a <strong data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1788\">rift between father and son<\/strong>, with <strong data-start=\"1795\" data-end=\"1817\">\u201cno rapprochement\u201d<\/strong> in sight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"2003\">The ruling follows Harry\u2019s <strong data-start=\"1856\" data-end=\"1878\">February 2024 loss<\/strong> in a previous case against RAVEC and appears to close the chapter on his efforts to regain royal-level protection in the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Harry has officially lost his legal battle to reinstate state-funded security during his visits to the UK, marking the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":72583,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1588,4265],"class_list":["post-72582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-meghan-markle","tag-prince-harry"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
