Prince Harry was escorted out of a London courtroom by bodyguards.
The 40-year-old Duke of Sussex arrived in court on Wednesday (April 9) for a second day of an appeal hearing regarding his security in the United Kingdom.
During the hearing a woman shouted in support of Harry, directing an outburst at the press, via People.
As the court was breaking before a private session and Harry was leaving the room, a woman shouted: “I support you, Prince Harry.”

He was being led from the courtroom alongside his team as the woman, who reportedly arrived late and was “fidgeting with phones and a notebook during the hearing,” turned to the gallery and said, “If you’re members of the press, you’re the reason he’s not in England.”
She was then kept to one side by a member of court security before being led out of the building, according to Daily Mail.
Harry later returned for the private part of the hearing.
The royal is appealing the government’s decision to strip him of automatic security after he and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
Harry‘s lawyer, Shaheed Fatima, said: “One must not forget the human dimension of this case. There is a person who is sitting behind me whose safety, whose security and whose life is at stake. There is a person sitting behind me who’s been told he is getting a special bespoke process when he knows in his experience it is a process that is manifestly inferior in every sense.”
“His presence here and throughout this appeal is a potent demonstration of how much this appeal means to him and his family,” he continued.
The Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, said the results of the private session would be made public once both parties reached an agreement.
Meghan Markle just reflected on debuting her son Prince Archie just two days after giving birth to him in May of 2019.
