Prince Harry has been dealt a blow after the Home Office responded to today's news on his security ruling. A Home Office spokesperson said: “We are pleased that the Court has found in favour of the Government’s position in this case. The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.”

This comes after Harry, 40, lost his appeal against against the Home Office and the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) to have his full security rights returned in the UK.

Prince Harry also told the BBC today that he feels it will be "impossible" to bring his wife Meghan Markle, 43, and their two children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, to the UK.

He said: "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things that they're going to miss is everything.

"I think it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland."
