Prince Harry has lost his High Court challenge against the Government over his security protection when visiting the UK.
The Duke of Sussex took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision that he should receive a different degree of protection when he returns to the UK.
It comes after he attempted to overturn a ruling that saw his security status downgraded after he stopped being a “working royal”.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Piers Morgan took to his official account and reacted to the ruling after sharing an article which read: “#Breaking The Duke of Sussex has lost his High Court challenge against the Home Office over a decision to change the level of his taxpayer-funded personal security when he visits the UK.”
In view of his 8.7 million followers, he penned: “Good… he shouldn’t be allowed to have his royal cake and eat it.”
The Duke of Sussex’s lawyers argued there was unfairness in how the decision was made. They added that Harry believes his children cannot “feel at home” in the UK if it is “not possible to keep them safe” there.
The Home Office previously said his security was decided on a case-by-case basis.
Back in December, when the challenge was made, Home Office lawyers told the High Court Prince Harry would still have publicly-funded police security, but these would be “bespoke arrangements, specifically tailored to him”, rather than the automatic security provided for full-time working royals.
