Prince Harry ‘sent threat by Al Qaeda’ as documents reveal more about Home Office battle

Prince Harry has officially asked the UK government to give him extra security after learning that he may be a target of a threat from the terrorist group Al Qaeda. This information came out in court documents shared by the Home Office during his ongoing legal battle.

Harry recently returned to the UK for a two-day court hearing to continue his appeal. He is challenging a previous High Court decision that downgraded his security protection when he visits Britain.

Since stepping back from his royal duties and moving to the United States with his wife Meghan Markle, Harry no longer receives the same level of taxpayer-funded police protection as he did when he was a working royal.

Harry says this is a serious concern for him and his family. He believes that both he, Meghan, and their children Archie and Lilibet are facing real threats from dangerous groups like Al Qaeda. According to documents presented in court, Harry personally requested stronger protection after he was made aware of the specific threat against him.

His legal team argues that the risk to his life hasn’t gone away just because he no longer works as a senior royal. They also say that Harry has served in the military and was open in the past about fighting in Afghanistan, which might have made him a target for terrorists.

Harry believes that he and his family should still receive the same type of police protection when they are in the UK as other high-profile individuals, especially when there are credible threats involved. He is not just asking for protection for himself—he wants his wife and children to be kept safe too.

The case has sparked debate in the UK about whether the public should continue to fund security for royals who no longer carry out official duties. However, Harry’s side insists that his unique background, public visibility, and the level of threats he faces make his situation different.

This court battle is about more than just security it’s also about what level of protection former royals should receive, and who decides how that protection is given. Harry is hoping that the court will recognize the seriousness of the threats against him and change the earlier decision so that he and his family can feel safe when they visit Britain.
