New setback for Prince Harry amidst disheartening security decision

In the ongoing saga of Prince Harry's troubles, his UK security woes show no signs of abating, even after he expressed being "gutted" by the court's decision on the matter.

After a heated interview with BBC, Harry's demands were squashed by the UK government. In response, Harry penned a strong statement, vowing not to pursue further legal action, but harboring plans to write to the incoming Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, pleading with her to examine the issue and reevaluate the RAVEC process.

According to sources, Cooperintends to rebuff Harry's unprecedented request. As per GB News, she plans to reject his demand.

Moreover, government officials have responded to Harry's allegations about members of the Royal Household allegedly influencing the RAVEC committee's decision. A Royal spokesperson confirmed that all RAVEC members work together to offer advice on the protective security of the Royal Family. They clarified that crucial decisions have always been taken by RAVEC, not the Home Secretary.

The Home Office as well, has defended RAVEC's "robust and appropriate" system, proclaiming that courts have consistently backed their approach[1][2].

In the midst of this battle, Harry has accused RAVEC of neglecting annual risk assessments, deeming it a "neglect of duty" that jeopardized his family's safety[3]. He operates under the belief that he seeks only "fair and lawful application" of policies during his family's visits to the UK[1][2]. Here's the lowdown:
