Prince Harry launches legal action against the UK government
Lawyers acting for Prince Harry, who stepped down from Royal duties two years ago, wrote a 'pre-action protocol' letter to Home Office, indicating they'll seek judicial review if police security isn't provided by UK. If the legal case proceeds, it will lead to a battle in the High Court between Ministers and the Duke of Sussex.
The Queen is understood to have been made aware of her grandson's latest action, which is thought to be the first time in history a member of the Royal Family has brought a legal case against Her Majesty's Government. Decision to instruct lawyers to threaten legal action against Government could inflame tensions with family.
