Prince Harry's 'Life is at stake' on changes to his safety, says Advocate | Today news

Prince Harry’s lawyer warned that the Duke of Sussex’s “Life at stake” on changes to his safety after retiring from royal duties. The attorney’s statement came when Prince Harry returned to the London Royal Courts of Justice on Wednesday for his appeal on changes to his protection in Britain. He disputed the decision of the Executive Committee on the Protection of Royals and Public figures, known as Ravec, that he should receive a different degree of protection at public expense, while in the UK after he retired as a working royal and moved abroad.

After a part of Wednesday’s trial was heard about specific safety arrangements privately, Fatima said the case was incredibly important to him. “His presence here and in this attraction is a powerful illustration, was needed, how much this attraction means to him and his family,” she said. While Harry was told that he was getting a special measuring process … he knew and in every way he experienced a process that was apparently inferior, “Fatima added.
