Prince Harry was swiftly escorted out of a courtroom by his bodyguards today after a sudden outburst from a supporter disrupted proceedings during a legal hearing about his security arrangements in the UK.

The Duke of Sussex attended the Court of Appeal on Wednesday to contest a previous High Court ruling that dismissed his challenge against the Home Office. The case concerns a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which downgraded the level of protection he would receive while in the UK.

As Harry was being led out of the courtroom, a woman in attendance shouted toward him. His security team quickly positioned themselves between Harry and the woman, who added, “If you’re members of the press, you’re the reason he’s no longer in England.”

Earlier in the day, Harry had arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London for the second day of the appeal. Now based in the United States, the Duke was seen quietly conferring with his legal team and jotting notes on light blue sticky paper throughout the hearing, according to The Mirror.

This appeal follows a decision made by retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane, who ruled last year that Ravec’s actions in early 2020—after Harry and Meghan stepped down from their roles as senior working royals—were lawful.

During the hearing, Harry’s lawyer, Shaheed Fatima KC, argued that Ravec applied a “different and so-called bespoke process” when assessing the Duke’s security needs.

She emphasized, “The appellant does not accept that ‘bespoke’ means ‘better’. In fact, his position is that it reflects him being treated differently, unfairly, and in a way that is less secure.” Fatima also criticized the approach of evaluating why Harry would attend specific events, arguing that such reasoning is “plainly irrelevant to the question of security.”
