On Thursday it was announced that some of the documents being handled in the lawsuit will not be made public. A judge of the Supreme Court in London agreed at the request of both parties. However, the prince’s legal team had broken the embargo on that ruling by passing a copy of it to someone who is not a lawyer. The judge called the leaking of that information “completely unacceptable.” Shaheed Fatima, the lawyer representing Prince Harry, took responsibility for the leak and said she should have thought more carefully before sending the emails.
The leak was not the only thing the judge was critical about, however. Harry’s legal team also received comments that it had provided “irrelevant evidence” in the case.
Security
Prince Harry’s lawsuit against the British Home Office concerns his security. No longer doing active duties for the Royal Family, Harry, who lives in America, is no longer given security when he comes to the UK for a private visit. He now wants to pay for it himself, but his security also requires information from intelligence services. But the ministry does not want to share it with other security authorities.
Harry therefore decided to take legal action. The prince says it is not safe to return to the United Kingdom without special security.
