The Court of Appeal will today and tomorrow hear the appeal in R (Duke of Sussex) v Secretary of State for the Home Department. Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex is appealing the High Court’s decision to dismiss his claim for judicial review challenging the decision of RAVEC that he should no longer be given the same degree of publicly funded protective security, provided by the police, when in Great Britain, following his decision in early 2020 to step back from his role as a working member of the Royal Family. RAVEC is the body given responsibility by the Home Secretary for decision-making in relation to matters of protective security in Great Britain.
Christopher Knight is acting for the Secretary of State, led by Robert Palmer KC and Sir James Eadie KC, instructed by the Government Legal Department.
