Prince Harry's automatic right to U.K. police security was removed

after his January 2020 decision to step back from frontline royal duties

Prince Harry has won the right to challenge the status of the U.K. security

arrangements put in place following his decision to step back from frontline royal duties.

The ruling follows a February 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for

the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) to remove Harry's

automatic right to U.K. police security after his bombshell January 2020 announcement.

The U.K. government now has 56 days to file papers relating to the case. A date for the hearing has yet to be finalized.

Tiggy Legge-Bourke (now known as Alexandra Pettifer), who was employed as a nanny to William and Harry in the '90s,

also received an apology, the BBC reported Thursday.
