Harry arrived at London’s Court of Appeal on Tuesday for the start of a two-day hearing in his case over his police protection in Britain.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is challenging a 2020 decision by the U.K. government that denied his family automatic taxpayer-funded police protection while in Britain after he and his wife, Duchess Meghan, stepped away from their senior royal roles.

But Harry rarely shows up to court, making only a few appearances in the past two years. That included the trial of one of his phone hacking cases against the British tabloids when he was the first senior member of the royal family to enter the witness box in more than a century.

Prince Harry's decision to step back from his life as a working royal resulted in a "unique set of circumstances", a government barrister has told the Court of Appeal. Sir James Eadie KC said it was right to take a flexible approach to the level of personal security he should be given after he stepped back in early 2020.

Prince Harry's lawyer warned his "life is at stake" over changes to his security after he stepped down from royal duties, as the prince returned to London's Royal Courts of Justice on Wednesday for his appeal about changes to his protection in Britain.
