Prince Harry has been given permission to appeal the British government’s rejection to provide him with publicly funded police protection in the UK.


The Court of Appeal gave the Duke of Sussex the go-ahead to challenge a ruling earlier this year in the High Court. The permission was granted in May but only reported Thursday.


Judge Peter Lane ruled in February that a government panel’s decision to provide ¿bespoke¿ security on an as-needed basis after Harry quit as a working member of the royal family was not unlawful, irrational or unjustified.


“Insofar as the case-by-case approach may otherwise have caused difficulties, they have not been shown to be such as to overcome the high hurdle so as to render the decision-making irrational,” Lane wrote.

The long-running fight began more than four years ago when Harry first challenged the panel’s decision, arguing that he and his family need an armed security detail because of hostility directed toward him and his wife Meghan.
