Prince Harry had been appealing against a ruling that he should be entitled only to a cheaper, “bespoke” level of security while visiting the UK compared to that of the rest of the Royal Family. In 2023 he also lost a legal attempt to pay for his own security.
“I’m devastated,” he said in the interview, which went out on Friday. “Not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision, feeling as though this is okay. Is it a win for them?”
Prince Harry is a sad, spoilt soul who appears to be unable to deal with any kind of disagreement. Anyone else who loses a Court of Appeal case would have to go quietly and nurse their wounds. Only because Prince Harry is so indulged and famous does he have the platform to go to the press.

Prince Harry talked at length in his interview about devoting himself to public service; that he had “given 35 years of service to this country, two tours of Afghanistan”. You can see there is a deep yearning in him to do some good, realised in his admirable work for the Invictus Games.
“I love my country, I always have done,” he said, “despite what some people in that country have done… and I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
A royal life is a topsy-turvy one. Prince Harry loathes the press after his mother was hounded to death in the most harrowing of fates. And yet he depends on the press at the same time, to give oxygen to his projects.
But he pulled the plug on his working royal status – and still expects the same treatment. You can’t have both. As he said in his interview, he can’t privately pay for quite the same levels of official royal protection he once enjoyed. But he chose to say goodbye to official royal life and everything that went with it.
And so, in his befuddled pique at the Court of Appeal disagreeing with him, he lashes out at his family and, particularly, his father. “There is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands,” Prince Harry said.
Yet as Prince Harry becomes less and less important in the constitutional order of things, he appears to become conspicuous by his irrelevance.
