Prince Harry has just days left to declare if he will bring new legal action after losing his challenge at the Court of Appeal in London earlier this month.
The Duke of Sussex could attempt to bring a fresh appeal at the Supreme Court but he will need to declare it by the end of this week.
On May 2nd, it was announced Prince Harry had lost his legal battle for taxpayer-funded armed police protection when in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex had claimed he was "singled out" for "unjustified, inferior treatment" since leaving royal duties five years ago.

His barrister argued that the removal of Met Police armed bodyguards had left the royal's life "at stake".
The California-based royal had fought the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office.
The case centred on a decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that Harry should receive a different degree of protection when visiting the country.
Ultimately, the Court of Appeal ruled against the Duke, with Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, dismissing his appeal.

One former senior judge, who was not involved in the case, told the BBC that Prince Harry's legal action was "preposterous" and "hopeless" from the start.
In his ruling, Sir Geoffrey Vos acknowledged the Duke's position, stating: "These were powerful and moving arguments and that it was plain the Duke of Sussex felt badly treated by the system."
However, he concluded: "Having studied the detail, I could not say that the Duke's sense of grievance translated into a legal argument to challenge RAVEC's decision.
LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
The legal battle has been ongoing since Harry's departure from royal duties, commonly referred to as "Megxit", five years ago.

The Master of the Rolls was definitive in his judgment, adding: "My conclusion was that the Duke of Sussex's appeal would be dismissed."
The ruling means that for now, armed police bodyguards, paid for by the British taxpayer, will not be automatically reinstated for Harry, Meghan and their two children when in the UK.
