Though Harry did not attend the hearing himself, the Guardian reports that his attorney Shaheed Fatima told the court: "This claim is about the fact that the claimant does not feel safe when he is in the UK given the security arrangements that were applied to him in June 2021 and will continue to be applied to him if he decides to come back.
"And, of course, it should go without saying that he wants to come back: to see family and friends and to continue to support the charities that are so close to his heart. Most of all, this is, and always will be, his home."
Harry applied for a judicial review of the security arrangements in September 2021 after a July incident in which his car was reportedly chased by photographers.
The only royal family members who currently receive 24-hour police protection are Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton.
Other "working" royals such as Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex receive state protection only whilst carrying out official engagements.
Prince Andrew also lost his right to police protection after stepping back from royal duties in 2019 amid growing concerns about his ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Harry has previously insisted he is willing to pay for police protection himself while in the UK with his family and does not expect the burden to fall on the tax payer.Explore more on these topics:
