Summary at a Glance

Take our poll and have your say Prince Harry is set to get 'limited police protection' when he travels to the UK next week - despite losing his legal battle for taxpayer-funded security.

The High Court ruled last year that the decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures was reasonable, meaning his security now depends on a case-by-case evaluation, just like any other VIP visitor to the UK.

Harry's heading to London to attend his High Court trial against News Group Newspapers, and while here will have armed officers from the Metropolitan Police keeping an eye on him.

But Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has agreed to provide The Duke of Sussex with armed officers from the Royalty and Specialist Protection Command, a source said.

Once he stepped back from royal duties and moved to the US, he no longer automatically got the same protection as the rest of the royal family.
