Three senior judges at the court of appeal rejected Prince Harry's claim that he had been "singled out" for "inferior treatment" and that his safety and life were "at stake" after a change in security arrangements that occurred when he stepped down as a working royal and moved abroad.

He had challenged the dismissal of his high court claim against the Home Office over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection.
