Full list of royals without 24/7 security demanded by Prince Harry - including Princess Anne

The Duke of York's daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, also do not receive security as they are not working royals.

The princesses previously had police protection at an annual cost of £500,000, but this was removed by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2011 during a dispute over expenses.

It is believed King Charles raised concerns after Princess Eugenie accumulated substantial security costs whilst travelling globally during her gap year.

Zara Tindall, another of King Charles's nieces, similarly does not receive taxpayer-funded security protection.

Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh do not have full-time security protection. They are only guarded when attending public engagements or performing official duties.

Despite this limited protection, these royals quietly carry out hundreds of engagements each year. They live most of their lives without taxpayer-funded security.

This arrangement exists despite past security incidents. In 2022, former Metropolitan Police officer Dai Davies highlighted that Princess Anne was once nearly kidnapped in 1974.

During that incident, her protection officer was shot, yet she still does not receive round-the-clock protection.

Some royals do receive full-time security funded by the taxpayer. This privileged group includes King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Prince William and Princess Kate, along with their three children, also benefit from around-the-clock protection.

This creates a clear distinction between senior working royals and other members of the family. The security arrangements reflect a tiered approach to royal protection. Those at the very top of the royal hierarchy maintain a constant security presence.

Meanwhile, other working royals receive protection only when performing official duties. Non-working royals generally receive no taxpayer-funded security at all. This system balances security needs against public expenditure concerns.

Prince Harry lost his Court of Appeal challenge over security arrangements whilst in the UK on Friday. The Duke of Sussex had appealed against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office.

The case concerned a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec). In a ruling on Friday, three senior judges dismissed Harry's appeal.

Following the decision, the duke told BBC News it is now "impossible" for him to bring his family to the UK safely. The ruling means Harry will continue to receive a different degree of protection when visiting Britain. This differs significantly from the full-time security provided to senior working royals.

"I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point," Harry told the BBC. "The things that they're going to miss is, well, everything you know."

The duke expressed his continued affection for Britain despite the security ruling: "I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the UK, I miss parts of the UK. Of course I do. It's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland."

Buckingham Palace responded to the failed legal challenge with a brief statement: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."
