Prince Harry's legal battle with the Home Office could have implications for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The Duke of Sussex launched legal action against the Home Office over their decision to deny him automatic police protection in the UK.
The showdown was mostly held behind closed doors due to privacy concerns.
The three-day hearing concluded earlier this month but a ruling has yet to be delivered.
However, Harry's attempts to get his security back are being closely watched by his uncle Prince Andrew, according to the Mail.
The Duke of York was dismayed when his daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie lost their own full-time security officers.
Prince Andrew also lost his security following his demotion to a non-working member of the Royal Family.
If Prince Harry does win his legal challenge against the Home Office it could open the door for other non-working members of the monarchy to get their security reinstated.

A source told the Mail that the Duke of York will look to push for bodyguards to be reinstated for him and potentially his daughters if the Duke of Sussex wins his case.
During the hearing, Shaheed Fatima KC, Prince Harry's barrister, said she wanted to make clear that the Duke of Sussex had not chosen to stop being a working member of the Royal Family.
The royal's lawyer read an excerpt from his witness statement in which he said: "It was with great sadness for the both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020.

"The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the United States.
"That cannot happen if it is not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.
“I cannot put my wife in danger like that and, given my experiences in life, I am reluctant to unnecessarily put myself in harm’s way too."
