Prince Harry is "grandstanding against Meghan" by choosing to fly to the UK and appear in court for his two-day appeal against the Home Office, it has been claimed.
The Duke of Sussex made the 5,000 mile trip to London for his appeal hearing in the High Court over his security arrangements - but the royal was not required to attend in person.
His appeal case challenges a ruling regarding the right he, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet have to taxpayer-funded bodyguards while visiting Britain.
On the first day of the two-day hearing, Harry's representative Shaheed Fatima KC argued that the Duke has been "singled out" for "inferior treatment" when his high level of protection from the Metropolitan Police was removed.

Speaking to GB News, Royal Biographer Angela Levin argued that the move by Harry to appear in the court is "grandstanding" against his wife, to prove he "is strong".
Levin claimed: "I think it might be grandstanding against Meghan. I think he's so fed up with her that he wants to prove that he can be strong, and he wants to come over here and give it a go.
"Otherwise he's going into the distance, isn't he? We don't see him - he's not allowed to do anything, he has to walk behind Meghan or shut up, so I think that that's partly it."
Offering another suggestion as to why the Prince decided to fly to the UK to attend his hearing, Levin claimed that he wanted to "show himself marching alone, wearing a suit".

GettyLevin said: "The other part is this actually shows him in a suit, marching on his own very quickly."
Discussing the frosty relations between Harry and his father King Charles, Levin told GB News that if the pair had met, Harry would use that meeting "to his advantage".
Levin explained: "That would be a great advantage to him, because if the King had allowed him to come in and see him even for a few minutes, Harry, who doesn't keep the truth, would have said that his father was helping him out on this, and believes that he should get paid by our tax.
"So that's one reason why the King hasn't seen him for quite a long time, because he could just see that, and there would be no way of proving who said what, so he had to keep away."

The Home Office has strongly contested Prince Harry's appeal, with their barrister stating that it "involves a continued failure to see the wood for the trees".
The Duke's legal challenge has already cost British taxpayers £500,000, according to court information.
The case continues to focus on the appropriate level of security for the Duke when he visits his home country after stepping back from royal duties.
