Cost of royal security cannot be made public, judges rule

The two judges made their decision after hearing detailed evidence behind closed doors from a senior Home Office official. They ruled that this secrecy prevented them from fully explaining in their public judgment why they had accepted the official's evidence.

The judges Lynn Griffin and Jo Swaney rejected an attempt by the Guardian to establish how much of taxpayers' money was spent on protecting the Windsors.

They concluded that publishing the overall bill for providing protection, such as armed bodyguards and patrols at royal homes, could encourage would-be attackers.
