Prince Harry made a rare visit to the UK this week as part of his ongoing battle with the British government.
On Tuesday, April 8, the 40-year-old royal arrived at a London court to challenge the decision made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) to downgrade his level of taxpayer-funded security when he's in England, according to CNN.

The decrease in protection afforded to the Duke of Sussex came after Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as working members of the royal family in 2020. (Despite giving up his duties, Harry is still a member of the royal family and fifth in line to the throne.)

♬ original sound - CNNAt Tuesday's hearings, barristers for the Duke of Sussex claimed that Harry had been “singled out for different unjustified and inferior treatment” by RAVEC.
In 2023, Harry spoke out in a statement about the importance of adequate security for his family, arguing that the UK is “central to the heritage of [his] children,” Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

While Harry was initially denied permission to appeal RAVEC's decision, in June 2024 the Court of Appeal agreed to hear his case.
The royal won a “monumental victory” in January when he settled with Rupert Murdoch's New Group Newspapers (NGN) after claiming that private investigators and journalists and private investigators working for the company's publications had targeted him and his family.
