Sentencing of Anne Sacoolas: Foreign Secretary's statement

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said:

Anne Sacoolas has finally been sentenced in a British court.

Since Harry's death in August 2019 we have been clear that Ms Sacoolas should return to the UK to face British justice.

Since she chose not to, virtual hearings were arranged as the most viable way to bring the case to Court and give justice to Harry's family.

I want to pay tribute to the incredible resolve of Harry's family and I hope that the judgment provides some closure.

We have learnt important lessons from this tragic incident, including improvements to the process around exemptions from diplomatic immunity and ensuring the US takes steps to improve road safety around RAF Croughton.
