The monarch of Montecito is, er, back in the UK. Prince Harry has returned to Britain for a two-day hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in a last-ditch attempt to win automatic state-funded security for his family whenever they return to Britain. He may have stepped down as a working prince five years ago, but it seems the royal renegade is missing the perks…
The Duke of Sussex embarked on the 10,000-mile return trip from California in a bid to win back taxpayer-funded security arrangement for him and his wife, Meghan, and their children. The matter is thought to be a rather significant factor in Harry’s falling out with his father, with the Prince having made it clear in the past he thinks the King could intervene to help him out – although Buckingham Palace has insisted this is not quite accurate. How very interesting.
Today’s hearing comes after the Montecito monarch ‘comprehensively lost’ his legal fight with the Home Office early last year.
