Prince Harry says 'I'm not asking for preferential treatment' as he vows to appeal after High Court ruled Home Office decision to downgrade his personal security was lawful
DAILY MAIL ^ | 2/28/2024 | dUELL

Prince Harry will appeal after losing a High Court challenge against the Home Office over a decision to downgrade his taxpayer-funded personal security when he visits Britain, his spokesman said today.

The Duke of Sussex took legal action over the move by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) after being told he would no longer be given the 'same degree' of publicly-funded protection when in the UK.

His lawyers had claimed he was 'singled out' and treated 'less favourably' in the February 2020 decision by the body, which falls under the Home Office's remit.

But at a hearing in London in December, the Government insisted 39-year-old Harry's claim should be dismissed, arguing Ravec was entitled to conclude the Duke's protection should be 'bespoke' and considered on a 'case-by-case' basis.

Two months on, retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane has now issued his ruling on the case this morning - saying: 'The application for judicial review is refused.'

But a spokesman for Harry said he would appeal, adding that he was 'not asking for preferential treatment, but for a fair and lawful application of Ravec's own rules'.

The judgment - which the Home Office later said the Government was 'pleased' with - comes amid another 24 hours of royal drama and tragedy in Britain, including:

The sudden death of Lady Gabriella Windsor's husband Thomas Kingston; Prince William mysteriously pulling out of his godfather's memorial in Windsor; Kensington Palace saying Kate is still 'doing well' as she recovers from surgery; Buckingham Palace announcing Princess Anne will visit Dubai this Friday; and The King being seen after also missing the service as his treatment continues.

If Harry is here in the US on the type of visa that allows the Harkles to get out if paying US income taxes, it doesn’t suck that much, eh...

And I’ll bet that’s why Deep State is really refusing to allow access to Harry’s application.

This has zero to do with drugs.

And given today’s ruling in the UK, if Harry has been allowed that visa by our Deep State, it now doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Given that Harry is a royal prince, he must have a suit of armor standing in a hallway somewhere. Put it on. That should make up for any reduced security.

that tweet is kind of giving a Saltburn vibe without the dancing around the mansion naked guy at the end.

I can’t take credit. That is word for word from a tweet on Twitter. One of the conspiracies is that Kate got a BBL. I dont even think she has enough fat to get one.

I don’t think anyone seriously believes it. It is just a trending excuse.

HG tudor thinks that Camilla is a narcissist as is Markle. Different kinds.

The difference is that Camilla played a long game and Markle is too much of a nutjob to get the goal.

From twitter:

Camilla should give a course on how to destabilize your husband’s family from the inside to the point that when the time comes, you’re the only one actually enjoying the perks while everything else around is falling apart. The woman is the one in charge. Truly a real life villain”

My slim-trim daughter had a tummy tuck after the birth of her fourth baby. She’s thinking that’s what Kate might have had done, and that there were complications.

There are so many wild guesses out there. Some people believe the strain of Prince Harry was too much and she had a mental breakdown.

It is probably going to turn out to be something completely mundane.

Where is Kate Middleton? The internet has theories

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/kate-middleton-where-is-health-surgery-king-charles?taid=65df8e6cb0ea880001d4c0b6

One post in particular on X, formerly Twitter, summed up the curiosity:

“You’re telling me that Kate Middleton - the same woman who posed outside the hospital like a freaking supermodel mere hours after giving birth - suddenly requires months of recovery before showing her face? And the British press now magically respects privacy? This feels… sinister.” The post has been seen by millions and has tens of thousands of likes. “

Where’s my armed security paid for by the government?
