Prince Harry has arrived at the Court of Appeal in London ahead of his major legal battle with the Home Office.
The Duke of Sussex landed in London on Sunday ahead of the hearing that will take place across today and on Wednesday.
Harry is back for an appeal against a High Court ruling on his security protection.
The Duke has been taking legal action against the Home Office over a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures in February 2020.

The dispute concerns the level of protection he should receive when in the country.
Harry has argued that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, cannot "feel at home" or "safe" in the UK unless his police protection is fully restored.
The High Court previously heard that Harry's "status" had changed as a result of no longer being a "full-time working member of the Royal Family".
This change in status has been central to the security dispute that brought the Duke back to British soil.

The Duke of Sussex's appeal will be conducted mostly in public, following a recent Court of Appeal order.
Only the most confidential evidence will be heard during "short periods in private" sessions.
The ruling comes as Harry continues his legal battle against the Home Office over his personal security protection whilst in Britain.
The Court of Appeal judges, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice Bean and Lord Justice Edis, cited the principle of "open justice" as the basis for their decision.

They emphasised their commitment to adhering to the open justice principle "as faithfully as possible in the particular circumstances of this case".
