The Duke of Sussex arrived at a London court on Tuesday to challenge the British government’s decision to downgrade his level of taxpayer-funded security while he is visiting the United Kingdom.

Prince Harry is set to challenge the UK government's decision to remove his security detail in an appeals court. The Duke of Sussex lost his government-funded protection in February 2020, after stepping down as a working member of the royal family and moving to the United States.

After being denied government-sponsored protection, Harry faced at least two serious security threats, his lawyer said in court papers. Al-Qaida had published a document that said Harry’s assassination would please Muslims, and he and his wife were involved in a dangerous pursuit by paparazzi in New York.
