Prince Harry, 37, has applied for judicial review to secure the right to have police security on future visits to the UK. According to a statement, he would pay for this service, which he says is essential to keep his family safe.

Prince Harry hopes that his petition, after almost two years of requests for security in the UK, will resolve this situation”, says the prince’s representative, who highlights his interest. that the youngest daughter, Lili, 7 months old, gets to know her father’s country.

Born in June 2021, Lili has yet to meet her grandfather, Prince Charles, and her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
