The lawsuit of a scandalous member of the British family could be shifted to the shoulders of taxpayers
Prince Harry's legal battle with the British government over his safety in the UK will reportedly cost citizens around £1 million countries. Harry's legal representative announced the Duke of Sussex's plans to appeal.
Prince Harry's ongoing legal battle with the British government over his safety is expected to cost about $1.2 million. The Duke of Sussex has made it clear that he intends to appeal the recent High Court decision, which resulted in him losing the hearing. The lawsuit stemmed from a February 2020 ruling that said his family would no longer be entitled to protection while in the country.
The original decision came after Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced their decision to step back from her royal duties in January 2020 and move to California. It turned out that the couple spends about $2 million annually to ensure the safety of themselves and their children in the United States.
A decision by retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane dismissed the Duke's case, arguing that the approach taken was not irrational or procedurally unfair. Despite this setback, Prince Harry's legal team remains steadfast in their pursuit of justice. In response to the ruling, his legal representative said: «Duke is not asking for preferential treatment, but rather for the fair and lawful application of his own rules, ensuring that he receives the same consideration as others, in accordance with his own written policies.»
The ongoing legal battle has raised concerns about the potential financial burden on British taxpayers. Former Royal security officer Day Davies warned the dispute could cost taxpayers up to $1 million.
Day Davies told GB News: «The truth is that Harry actually gets protection every time he's in the UK for anything to do with the Royal Family — and he's here as a prince — yes, of course he is. receives. What he needs is armed security when he comes here, which is what he has done for a number of years.” Davies added: “He brings his own security teams who are not armed, but some of them are former royal security officers. If there is a threat, if there is any problem, he will be given the protection he wants. It's a storm in a teacup.»
The cost of keeping a family safe remains the subject of speculation due to national security concerns, with estimates ranging from a few million pounds to as much as $120 million. A Freedom of Information request has revealed that the Home Office has already spent $515,284 on legal costs related to Prince Harry's case.
The ongoing legal battle and associated costs have sparked public debate about the allocation of resources and the extent of support. provided to members of the royal family. As the case continues, it remains to be seen how this will ultimately impact both Prince Harry and British taxpayers.
