Life is precious. I don\u2019t know how much longer my father has. He won\u2019t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The king announced that he had been diagnosed with an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/02\/05\/world\/europe\/king-charles-cancer.html\" title=\"\">undisclosed form of cancer<\/a> in early 2024 and has been receiving weekly treatments since then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harry, Charles\u2019s younger son, wrote in detail about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/09\/world\/europe\/prince-harry-memoir.html\" title=\"\">the rupture<\/a> between him and other members of the royal family in his 2023 memoir, \u201cSpare.\u201d He acknowledged in the interview on Friday that the book had proved divisive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOf course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book,\u201d he said. \u201cOf course they will never forgive me for lots of things.\u201d But he said that he believed the dispute over whether he should receive automatic police protection in Britain was the last remaining \u201csticking point\u201d in the conflict, and he expressed hope that Charles could help resolve it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harry has been fighting a decision to remove the automatic police protection given to members of the royal family. That move was made after he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/01\/08\/world\/europe\/prince-harry-meghan-markle-royal-family.html\" title=\"\">stepped down<\/a> from his official role and left the country in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harry lost the previous stage of the case in February 2024 but appealed. That ruling came on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Geoffrey Vos, one of the three judges who dismissed Harry\u2019s case, told the hearing on Friday that a \u201cbespoke\u201d process adopted by a government committee after he moved to California, allowing British officials to make decisions on his visits to Britain on a case-by-case basis, was lawful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said the decision to downgrade Harry\u2019s automatic protection was \u201can understandable and perhaps predictable reaction to the duke of Sussex having stepped back from royal duties and left the U.K.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ruling is a setback for Harry, who has spent more than three years fighting the deeply personal case. In evidence presented to the court, Harry\u2019s legal team recounted threats to his safety and described \u201cadditional layers of racism and extremism\u201d that they said were driving abuse toward his family. After attending hours of hearings at the Court of Appeal last month, Harry told the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/royal-family\/2025\/04\/11\/prince-harry-police-protection-withdrawn-trap-royal-family\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Telegraph<\/a> he was \u201cexhausted\u201d and \u201coverwhelmed\u201d by the legal process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In court, his lawyers said that he had been left with \u201cinferior treatment\u201d that put his safety and that of his wife, Meghan, and their two children at risk. And they argued that the decision to withdraw the normal level of protection for royals had violated official policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The decision in 2020 was made by a body called the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, known as Ravec, which brings together government officials, the police and members of the royal household.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harry began his legal challenge in September 2021. Early in the case, he offered to reimburse or pay for the cost of the security measures himself, but Ravec decided that the move would be wrong \u201cin principle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The committee was said to be concerned that permitting private payment would \u201creduce the availability\u201d of a limited pool of close protection officers in Britain, where police do not routinely carry guns and undergo intensive specialist training for the role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harry lost a legal challenge on the funding decision in 2023, and a High Court judge dismissed his case on wider grounds in February 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He was granted permission to appeal three months later, but only on legal points concerning whether the committee had violated its own policy on how to decide which individuals should receive protection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As he gave the Court of Appeal\u2019s ruling on Friday, Judge Vos agreed that its policy was not followed but said that was for \u201cgood reason,\u201d and in accordance with risk assessments and expertise on royal protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Judge Vos acknowledged that Harry feared for his family\u2019s safety and \u201cfelt badly treated by the system,\u201d but he said that did not make the committee\u2019s decisions unlawful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While the case has been ongoing, Harry has visited Britain on several occasions, including for the funeral of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and for the coronation of his father, King Charles III.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The High Court heard that each visit had triggered applications to the committee for public protection, which are now considered for Harry on a case-by-case basis, and involved the use of private security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/02\/world\/europe\/prince-harry-family-reconciliation-security-battle.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Harry said he would love to reconcile with his family in Britain during an emotional BBC interview in which he admitted he had no idea about the prognosis of his father, King Charles III, who has cancer, and expressed a desire to end their painful rift.
