Prince Harry arrives at London court on April 9, 2025Prince Harry was escorted out of a London courtroom by security after a supporter disrupted proceedings.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, returned to court on April 9 for the second day of an appeal hearing pertaining to his security in the U.K.
At one point, as the court was breaking before a private session and Harry was leaving the room, a woman shouted what appeared to be "I support you, Prince Harry," as he neared her.
The Duke of Sussex was then hurried out, and the woman — who 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."
The woman was then escorted out of the courtroom.
After she was removed, Prince Harry returned for the private part of the hearing.
