    Prince Harry's legal team could reportedly cite Taylor Swift as an example in his battle for royal security

    The Duke of Sussex, 40, is locked in a legal fight over a ruling made in February that removed the automatic right to protection for him and his family, after the initial decision was made in 2020 to strip it back when he and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, 43, quit being senior working royals in the UK for a new life in America


    People has now reported Harry's team may highlight how Taylor, 34, got police escorts to her sold-out 'Eras Tour' concerts at London's Wembley Stadium in August in the wake of a terror plot against her and her fans being thwarted that prompted the cancellation of three of her shows in Austria.

    A source with knowledge of the case told the outlet Harry is desperate to "ensure the safety of himself and his family while in the UK so his children can know his home country" and work with his charities without fear of being targeted and attacked.

    They added: "The (British) government's?decision to provide Taylor Swift with armed police escorts during her August 2024 Wembley Stadium performances highlight significant inconsistencies in how protection decisions are made by UK authorities, raising questions about the transparency and consistency of the process.

    "Clearly Prince Harry is being treated completely differently to everyone else.

    "(The case) demonstrates the need for a more systematic and transparent approach to protection decisions, ensuring both public safety and equitable application of security resources."

    Harry has taken the issue of his security arrangements to the courts for more than four years, but lost an initial decision in April.

    He is now appealing it, and the case is set to be heard in the spring of 2025.

    Neil Basu, a former head of counterterrorism for the Metropolitan Police, has spoken out about how Meghan faced serious threats while in the UK, noting she and Harry have among the highest threat assessments within the royal family.
