A lawyer for on Tuesday challenged the British government91裸聊视频檚 decision to strip him of his security detail after he gave up his status as a working member of the royal family and moved to the United States.

The Duke of Sussex has claimed that his safety is jeopardized in part because of hostility toward him and his family on social media and a relentless press that hounds him.

Attorney Shaheed Fatima said the group that evaluated Harry91裸聊视频檚 security needs 91裸聊视频� known by the acronym of its former name, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) 91裸聊视频� acted irrationally and treated him unfairly by failing to follow its own policies that required applying a risk analysis about the duke91裸聊视频檚 safety.

91裸聊视频淩AVEC should have considered the 91裸聊视频榠mpact91裸聊视频� that a successful attack on the claimant would have, bearing in mind his status, background and profile within the royal family 91裸聊视频� which he was born into and which he will have for the rest of his life,91裸聊视频� Fatima said. 91裸聊视频淩AVEC should have considered, in particular, the impact on the U.K.91裸聊视频檚 reputation of a successful attack on the claimant.91裸聊视频�

The three-day hearing in London91裸聊视频檚 High Court is the latest in a that have kept London judges busy as he takes on the U.K. government and the British tabloid media.

Harry was not in court as attorneys presented opening remarks at a hearing set to be held largely behind closed doors to discuss sensitive security matters. The judge is expected to rule at a later date.

Harry failed to persuade a different judge earlier this year that he should be able to privately pay for when he comes to town. A judge denied that offer after a government lawyer argued that officers shouldn91裸聊视频檛 be used as 91裸聊视频減rivate bodyguards for the wealthy.91裸聊视频�

Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, said he did not feel safe bringing his wife, former actor Meghan Markle, and their two young children back to Britain and was concerned about his own safety after being chased by .

Harry91裸聊视频檚 animosity toward the press dates back to the death of his mother Princess Diana in 1997, who perished in a car wreck as her driver tried to outrun aggressive photographers in Paris. Harry, whose wife is biracial, cited what he said were racist attitudes and unbearable intrusions of the British media in his decision to leave the United Kingdom.

The 39-year-old prince is challenging the decision by the group now known as the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures to provide his security on a 91裸聊视频渃ase by case91裸聊视频� basis after moving in 2020 to Canada and then California, where he and his family now reside.

91裸聊视频淗e should be placed in a bespoke position and that bespoke arrangements be 91裸聊视频� specifically tailored to him,91裸聊视频� government attorney James Eadie said. 91裸聊视频淗e is no longer a member of the cohort of individuals whose security position remains under regular review.91裸聊视频�

Eadie said there was also a cost factor because security funds aren91裸聊视频檛 unlimited and noted that Harry has been granted protection for certain events, such as his visit in June 2021.

Harry said the committee unfairly nixed his security request without hearing from him personally and did not disclose the panel91裸聊视频檚 makeup, which he later learned included royal family staff. He said Edward Young, the assistant private secretary to the late Queen Elizabeth II, should not have been on the committee because of 91裸聊视频渟ignificant tensions91裸聊视频� between the two men.

The Home Office has argued that any tensions between Harry and the royal household staff were irrelevant and that the committee was entitled to its decision because he had relinquished his role as a working member of the family.

The case is one of five that Harry has pending in the High Court.

The four other lawsuits involve Britain91裸聊视频檚 best-known tabloids, including a case that when it ran a story suggesting he had tried to hide his efforts to continue receiving government-funded security. A ruling is expected in that case Friday.

Three other lawsuits allege that , such as deception, phone hacking, and hiring private investigators to dig up dirt about him.
