The Duke of Sussex has apologised after he breached confidentiality rules during his High Court battle against the Home Office by emailing information to Johnny Mercer.

Court documents reveal Prince Harry 'breached a confidentiality ring' in November 2023 when he emailed the veterans minister information about the court case.

He lost his first attempt to appeal against the dismissal of his legal challenge over the British government's decision to take away his police protection when he is in Britain, a court spokesperson said on Monday.

Harry, King Charles' younger son, had brought the action against the government at the High Court in London after the Home Office - the ministry responsible for policing - decided in February 2020 that he would cease to automatically receive personal police security while in Britain.

Harry, along with other senior royals, had received full publicly-funded security protection provided by the state before he stepped back from his royal duties and moved to California with his American wife Meghan in March 2020.

Royal Editor Sarah Hewson says Prince Harry's court case against the Home Office "will not be resolved any time soon".

"He emailed sensitive and confidential documents to Johnny Mercer... Harry had to issue an apology, pretty embarrassing for him."
