Prince Harry has been told to "pay for his own security" by Royal Biographer Angela Levin, following his appeal over his arrangements when in the UK.
The Duke has been granted an appeal by the courts after claiming that he is "unable to bring his wife Meghan or their two children due to safety concerns".
Speaking to GB News, Levin hit out at the royal's "arrogance" over the ongoing court battle after it was also claimed Harry had "tried to jump the queue" to get the appeal heard sooner.
Lord Justice Bean had told the Prince he is "not entitled to jump the queue because of his status".

Discussing reports that the request to have the appeal heard sooner is due to a "planned world tour" by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Levin said he is "not well enough in the VIP group to go ahead of everybody else".
She claimed it would be "arrogant" of Harry to "go around the world on taxpayer money".
She continued: "I think that this country will go absolutely mad if they use our taxpayers' money to go around the world."
Sharing her predictions for the locations of the reported world tour, Levin claimed that the couple may spend a lot of time "in Africa", following the success of their Nigeria visit.

However, she argued that the British public would be "very annoyed" if they used Prince Harry's level of protection around the world, if it is granted to him.

Levin fumed: "I can't see how you can keep on going back again and again and again, but he's very determined. He's absolutely determined."
In disagreement with Levin, Mark argued that Harry "is the King's son" and needing the level of security he requires was "not a choice he's made", but it is his birthright.
Mark pressed Levin, asking: "Doesn't he deserve the best protection? How would we feel as a country if, God forbid, something happened to Harry?"
Levin hit back, claiming: "If he comes for anything to do with the Royal Family, he has the best protection. If he comes to see friends or to do something that's got nothing to do with the royals, he has grade two or grade three.

"If you step down from being a royal, you can't expect the same sort of attention that you get if you're not, and you can't actually control it."
Levin continued: "He doesn't get that. But you have to accept that, you can't take it out of the Government. It's just not right. He can pay for it if he wants to for himself, but he can't actually expect us to pay for him and his family all the time."
When approached by GB News, a spokesperson for the Sussexes declined to comment.
