Prince Harry, who is in the UK for his case, was hustled out of the courthouse by his bodyguards during a dramatic scene on the penultimate day of his legal battle with the Home Office for security protection.
The incident happened when a lady interrupted proceedings before a confidential session about security issues could begin. The Duke of Sussex was protected by security as he left the Royal Courts of Justice.
The woman, known as Harry's fan, drew notice for arriving late to the public gallery.
Court observers said that she relocated her position many times during the proceedings. The woman was observed fumbling with two phones and a notebook, which drew the notice of Harry's security personnel.
Langdown and his colleague were concerned by her behavior, since they looked to be worried about a potential security issue.
The hearing focused on the Duke of Sussex's security arrangements in the UK. When the hearing ended, Langdown and the other security stood between Harry and the woman as they exited the room.
As the Duke approached, woman screamed what looked to be "I support you, Prince Harry".
After Harry was rushed out, the lady turned to the press gallery and said, "If you're members of the press, you're the reason he's not in England."
She was taken aside by court security before being brought out of the premises. Only after she was removed did the Duke return for the secret meeting.
