His appeal to the Home Office also became hopeless after the High Court judge noted that Prince Harry had "failed completely".
Harry sought judicial review of the decision to revoke his right to automatic police protection when he moved abroad. After two and a half years of legal disputes, his claim was dismissed in February. The judge insisted that the decision made by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee was not unreasonable or procedurally unfair.
His application to appeal the ruling was also outright dismissed by the judge, who demanded payment of just 40% of the government fees (more than £500,000), according to documents released by the court on Monday. The judge ordered him to pay 90% of the damages because his statements contained "a lot of unsubstantiated speculation."
This means that Harry will face paying more than £1 million, including legal fees. He's going to have to pay for his actions.
The judge criticized Harry's legal team's appeal application for "exhibiting exactly the same errors as he pointed out in his original ruling," particularly for adopting an "inappropriate" and "formalistic" approach throughout the process, leaving the application "largely a re-adjudication of the previous case."
The judge made it clear that the appeal was hopeless because there were no 'other compelling grounds' to hear the appeal. In addition, he refuted Harry's claim that his claims were "partially successful", pointing out that he was a "total failure" and that "all defenses have failed" to cut off his thoughts on the matter.
