A Royal Mix-up: Holding His Cellphone, Prince Harry Knocks on Strangers' Doors in London
Inquiry raised about Prince Harry knocking on a London residence.
In an unexpected turn of events, the 40-year-old Prince Harry finds himself under scrutiny once again. British headlines are abuzz with rumors about the royal, fresh off a court defeat, being spotted aimlessly knocking on wrong doors while searching for a mate in the cobblestone streets of London.
Royals and Rumors: Prince Harry's Unusual Door-Knocking SagaAccording to erstwhile reports, the Duke of Sussex recently found himself in quite a pickle, much like his ongoing dispute over police protection. As per "The Sun," the prince allegedly tried his luck at "at least three houses" in a bizarre attempt to locate his friend, leaving residents and passersby bewildered[1][2][3].
"I don't think many people would just walk down a street and knock on doors, especially if they didn't feel safe," shared a nearby neighbor[1][3]. The gossipmongers also got their hands on a door camera image showing the prince in his quest, appear somewhat flustered and typing away on his cellphone[2].
One resident recalled their housekeeper opening the door but not recognizing the prince[1][3]. They added with a shake of their head, "We were shocked to see it was him on the door camera image." The locals weren't the only ones taken aback, as two of the houses he tried were reportedly located at opposite ends of the half-mile-long street[1][3].
The Aftermath of the Security DisputeHarry's latest blunder comes on the heels of his unsuccessful appeal to the High Court over his reduced security measures. The son of King Charles stepped back as a working member of the royal family in 2020 and now resides in Montecito, California, with his wife, Duchess Meghan, and their two children. However, due to his infrequent visits to the UK, his security is assessed on a case-by-case basis[4].
Following his recent court defeat, an interview with Harry was released, revealing the contentious state of his relationship with his father[4]. Harry divulged that the King isn't speaking to him because of the ongoing security issues. On the possibility of reconciliation, Harry aptly put it, "I don't know how much time my father has left."
