Prince Harry was recently caught on a doorbell camera knocking on random homes in a London neighbourhood while trying to locate a friend’s residence. The incident surprised locals, especially in light of his ongoing legal battle over the removal of his UK police protection.
Contradiction After Court Claims on Safety
The Duke of Sussex had previously stated in court that he felt “unsafe” in the UK without armed security. However, this unguarded visit—where he knocked on at least three different doors—appeared to contradict that concern. Residents who interacted with him said they didn’t initially recognise him until neighbours discussed it later.
“He Even Knocked on Distant Homes”
According to The Sun, a local resident mentioned that Prince Harry knocked on homes that were far apart along the same street. This led people to believe he wasn’t entirely sure of the address. The doorbell footage reportedly showed Harry in a blue suit, no tie, and speaking on his mobile phone as he moved around.
Unusual Food Delivery Breach
Reports also suggested Harry stayed at a friend’s luxury residence during his visit. In a move that bypassed usual safety protocols, he ordered food directly through the Deliveroo app. The meal was delivered straight to the doorstep without any visible security measures, raising further questions about his vulnerability in the UK.
Lost Legal Battle Over Police Protection
Prince Harry recently lost a legal case seeking reinstatement of full-time police protection in the UK. Since stepping back from royal duties alongside Meghan Markle, the couple no longer qualifies for taxpayer-funded security. Following the ruling, Harry said his life was at risk without official protection.
“Impossible” to Bring His Family to the UK
In a BBC interview from California following the court verdict, Harry said, “It’s impossible to bring my family to the UK now.” He also revealed ongoing tensions with his father, King Charles, stating that they were not on speaking terms due to the security issue. However, he added, “I’ve forgiven my family,” and expressed hope for reconciliation despite feeling uncertain about how much time they had left to repair ties.
King Charles ‘Frustrated and Upset’
Ahead of the interview, a close source to King Charles told The Sun that the monarch found it upsetting that Harry did not respect the boundaries regarding legal matters. “What has frustrated and upset him on a more personal level is the Duke’s failure to respect this principle,” the source said.,
“The King is, at heart, a loving and generous man,” the insider added, defending the King against claims that he wasn’t showing enough support to Harry amid the family rift.
