Harry argues he ‘has been singled out for inferior treatment’ after ‘stepping back as working royal’
She continued: ‘On January 8 2020, (the Duke of Sussex) and his wife felt forced to step back from the role of full-time official working members of the royal family as they considered they were not being protected by the institution, but they wished to continue their duties in support of the late Queen as privately funded members of the royal family’.
Ms Fatima later said that Harry was ‘not in a position to make any informed representations to Ravec’.
He added: ‘(His) security does not appear to have been discussed at any formal Ravec meeting and there are no official notes or detailed minutes recording the approach to be taken to (his) security and the rationale for it.’
According to Ms Fatima KC, when Ravec stripped the prince of his top-level security in February 2020, shortly after he and wife Meghan had announced they were stepping back from royal duties and relocating to North America, it did not follow his own rules.
And the judge who previously ruled Ravec had acted correctly, was mistaken.
Ms Fatima said according to its own guidelines, Ravec should have commissioned an assessment of Prince Harry’s particular security needs from another specialist body, the Risk Management Board. It has failed to do so, instead reaching its decision by ‘bespoke’ means.
