According to People , Prince Harry is staying in London, England because of the three-day hearing. Harry’s lawyer said he always wanted his two children Archie and Lilibet to call London home, but that could not happen. Harry felt that his two children were not safe living in England.
Harry felt forced to leave the royal family in 2020 over concerns for Meghan Markle and their two children, his lawyer said.

“My husband and I are heartbroken and share the same view that we will be forced to give up our royal roles and leave the UK in 2020. The UK is my home. I have always wanted the children to feel at home in London, as comfortable as their current life in the US, but that cannot happen,” Harry wrote in a statement to the court.
The Duke of Sussex said he did not want his wife to be in danger. “Based on my life experience, I would not put myself or my children in danger unnecessarily,” he added.
During the hearing in the UK, Harry’s representative lawyer objected to the decision of the Royal and Public Figures Protection Executive Committee (RAVEC) made in February 2020. Accordingly, RAVEC removed Harry’s right to be protected by the British police security force.
Harry has decided to sue over his request to pay for security without approval. In a hearing in May, Justice Chamberlain ruled that the Duke of Sussex did not have the authority to seek a judicial review of whether he should be allowed to pay for the officers himself.
“In my judgment, RAVEC was not wrong in finding that allowing wealthy people to pay for police services was contrary to the public interest,” Judge Chamberlain said.

The Duke of Sussex’s legal team previously said he felt unsafe bringing his two children to the UK. “Harry just wants to return to see his family and friends and do his charity work. Above all, London, England will always be his home,” lawyer Shaheed Fatima said in 2022 at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Since moving to California, USA, Meghan and Harry have only brought their children back to the UK once in 2022, to attend Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, marking Lilibet’s first birthday at Frogmore Cottage , the couple’s former home in Windsor, England.
The Home Office said RAVEC had considered public anger over Harry’s return to the UK. They did not provide Harry with high-level security because his position had changed following his decision to stop working for the Royal Family and spend most of his time in the US.
