Prince Harry may leverage Taylor Swift’s high-profile security case to strengthen his own legal battle for police protection in the UK, reports reveal.
International superstar Taylor Swift may be an unlikely ally in Prince Harry ’s ongoing legal fight with the UK Government, according to new reports.
Prince Harry believes both he and his family require armed security when in the UK.

The arrangement was reportedly negotiated by Swift’s mother and manager, Andrea, after a thwarted terrorist plot in Vienna led to the cancellation of three concerts on the singer’s Eras Tour.
"Whilst Prince Harry is denied protection despite consistent, long-standing and well-documented threats, we saw extraordinary measures being taken here- including the Met seeking counsel from the Attorney General- for a visiting performer, because that performer’s manager and parent threatened to pull her out if she wasn’t given the protection they wanted."
Neil Basu, a former assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, defended the decision to provide protection for Swift, acknowledging the risks and the potential political and economic fallout from not doing so.
