Has anyone met Prince Harry in real life? What was your impression of him?

Does he look quite attractive up close in the flesh?

But never Edward- who has aged beautifully!

I realise it's not the point of the thread and I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell me off, but I totally would.

Agreed!

@BabyDreamers - people used to say that about Andrew and Charles…

🤮

Yes I have met Prince Harry and William. Also Prince Charles and Camilla. It was at a barn dance event in Gloucestershire with Jim Davidson and Nicholas Parsons being the entertainment!. I was behind William in the queue for the toilets 🤣 Camilla was dancing on the tables and both boys had sweat patches under their arms which I thought was weird 🤣 Harry was smoking at age 14 🤣

I always find these so cringe. Just because you’ve met someone it doesn’t mean you know how they are away from the public.

And all these “secret stories” - I don’t give a crap stranger on the internet

Probs don't click on it then 🙄

@Vecnasnurse

Is it a secret?.
Which restaurant?

Well yes I think I saw him after DH proposed! I was of course walking back to the car elated a and saw a man and girl who looked like his gf at the time in a black Aston Martin and he was looking at me and smiling.
I nearly shouted out....I'm engaged but didn't.

Small eye's though.

I know a pretty out there story about Harry from back in the day.

Do tell 👀

Wouldloveanother · 09/09/2022 19:32

I met Sophie Wessex who was charming and very polite.

BrokenMatress · 09/09/2022 19:46

Seen him around a lot (a lot he used to live near me) .
Usually alone or with friends doing very normal things- shopping, pub etc . No visible security usually.

Always charming when people stopped him.

TheCatWithGreenEyes · 09/09/2022 19:55

I’ve met Charles and Camilla and then attended a function will William and Kate. But unfortunately never met Harry. My husband has worked with and Harry bought him a maccys.

tattychicken · 09/09/2022 19:57

Yes, an after party at Gatcombe Horse Trials, he was about 16 and pissed as a fart, William too. Both getting a lot of female attention.
Mark Phillips screeched to a halt next to the marquee in his Landrover, grabbed H by the back of his shirt and marched him to the Landy, William following. He chucked him in the back, William hopped in, and they shot off.

My BIL went shooting with Anne and apparently she was absolutely brilliant with a fantastic sense of humour.

I’ve enjoyed hearing the stories recently about the Queen which showed just what a wonderful character she was. The real her, not just what you see “on display.”

I particularly enjoyed Theresa May’s speech about her earlier. It was lovely, and very funny. She read it beautifully.

I'd love to be sandwiched between those 2 brothers 🤣

@SkirridHill I totally would as a teenager and still would now!

Tell us then.....

Ah, so they didn’t inherit uncle Andrew’s inability to perspire? Well I guess neither of them fought in the Falklands…

ElizabethBest · 09/09/2022 20:45

Yes, at school. (Went to a girl’s school that used to go to theirs for socials, plays etc) He was nice. Boisterous, and exuberant. Not very bright, and quite easily swayed to do silly things to impress his friends. A bit like a slightly dim Labrador puppy. He was about 15 then though!

Nope, and wouldn't care to meet the royals either.

Quite the charmer, aren't you!

Perfectly valid answer
Not everyone is I to the Royals
They are just ppl at the end of the day. We are all just people on this planet at the end of the day.

@SkirridHill I totally would as a teenager and still would now!

I've always had a thing for the naughty ones though. Hence my string of failed relationships. 😂

wigywhoo · 09/09/2022 20:57

@girlfriend44 yes, but it's not the premise of the thread and just seems gratuitously unpleasant. But then I guess I should have left it as it says what we need to know about the poster.
