Prince Harry could leverage Taylor Swift’s controversial police escort case to bolster his ongoing security battle with the British government, according to new reports.

The Duke of Sussex, who has repeatedly been denied taxpayer-funded protection, believes the decision to provide the American singer with special police escorts for her Wembley Stadium shows highlights troubling inconsistencies in the how security is allocated.

Swift gained additional protection in August following terrorist threats and political interventions, while Harry continues to fight for similar safeguards on his own behalf.

Taylor Swift’s mother and manager, Andrea Swift, reportedly threatened to cancel the singer’s London concerts unless additional security measures were ensured, leading to dramatic intervention.

The Met Police initially resisted providing additional police escorts, arguing that such protection was usually reserved for senior royals and politicians.

However, following growing pressure from senior government figures, including Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the force sought legal advice from the Attorney General.

Swift’s mother then negotiated directly with senior Met Police officials and even Sue Gray, then the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, for additional protection.

Prince Harry, embroiled in his own security battle, is said to be closely monitoring the situation.

Earlier this year, the Duke of Sussex lost a court case against the Home Office over his right to automatic police protection after stepping back from royal duties.

Now Harry is preparing to take the case to the Court of Appeal in April, with his case focusing on the lack of transparency surrounding the processes and composition of the Royal Executive and VIP Committee (Ravec).
