Prince Harry was dramatically escorted out of court today due to an outburst by a supporter.

On April 9, the Duke of Sussex attended the Court of Appeal on the final day of his legal battle over his UK security arrangements.

According to Mirror, the courtroom proceedings were briefly paused and the room was cleared, a supporter of the duke made a vocal show of allegiance, shouting words of encouragement as he exited the courtroom.

The female supported shouted, "I support you Prince Harry.”

Harry was swiftly escorted out of the courtroom, his bodyguards stepped in to shield him from the outspoken woman, creating a protective barrier between them.

"If you’re members of the press, you’re the reason he’s no longer in England,” the women further noted.

After the supporter left the courtroom, King Charles’ son returned for the private part of the hearing.

This two-day appeal comes after a retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane ruled last year that Ravec’s decision, taken in early 2020 after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left their titles senior working royals, was lawful.
