Harry knocking on random doors in London

What a strange story! I’ve seen it being reported that Harry was wandering around a road in London, knocking on (at least 3) doors whilst looking for a friend 🤔🤣

How would you not know which house your friend lived at?

Because this is the very same man who is claiming that he needs 24hr tax payer funded armed security....

Yes exactly. At taxpayers expense.

How sad people are- human being gets lost.
Happens to me most days!
If anything it underlines the point that he probably does need some form of security,

As mentioned, that may well have been the intention

I said when Harry lost the Ravec case that stunts were to be expected, and whether this one's faked or not there'll doubtless be more coming down the line

FatherFrosty · 10/05/2025 11:00

Can’t help thinking he is utterly clueless about life. Never learnt basic stuff because he didn’t have to.
walked out without any understanding of how clueless he was

CathyorClaire · 10/05/2025 11:00

Well just as you think Henry's reached the cellar in bizarre behaviour, as ever he finds another trapdoor.

This occurred in Fulham you say? The same Fulham where a very famous journalist was murdered on her doorstep in a still unresolved case?

Seems an odd choice for random ring the bell by someone convinced 'the other side' is out to get him.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 10/05/2025 11:00

I also think a lot people, like me, are genuinely concerned that his behaviour is deteriorating and find that sad. Despite his vindictiveness towards his family it's never good to see someone unravel in public

You're not wrong, @bluegreygreen, and that's perhaps why some of us hesitate to call this "entertainment"

However Harry's made his choices, and given that these include downright cruelty to rather a lot of people, he'll just have to accept the consequences

Calliopespa · 10/05/2025 11:02

bluegreygreen · 10/05/2025 10:45

No, he didn't. The case was settled out of court, so no-one won.

I think people are talking about this for several reasons:
Harry has just cost the tax payer several hundred thousand on a court case he didn't need to take (as he does have appropriate security). I hope he does end up paying costs.
For someone who claims he is concerned about security, his behaviour frequently says otherwise (swapping from secure cars to taxis, ordering takeaway delivery, knocking on random house doors).

I also think a lot people, like me, are genuinely concerned that his behaviour is deteriorating and find that sad. Despite his vindictiveness towards his family it's never good to see someone unravel in public.

I suppose that’s what I think.

I think he does seem palpably hurt and upset. I don’t think he and Meghan have played things wisely.

I do think some of what he has done has probably been motivated by a (possibly misguided) desire to protect his family and stand up for his wife. I think it’s probably realistic that he feels he wishes his mum had been protected a little more. Some of his response to that has been a bit confused. But while I wouldn’t go so far as to endorse his every move, I can have a degree of compassion when people back themselves into a corner through actions which I can’t say were definitely not pursued through some kind of sense of loyalty. And yes, I know loyalty cuts in many directions but that’s a conflict most people struggle with and don’t always get the balance right. They just don’t have to resolve it with people starting threads about the fact they knocked on the wrong door or projecting how their children are already doomed to sad existences. I guess I just don’t like bullying or unbridled schadenfreude and it seems to me of late it’s tipping into that

ETA I haven’t read his book. Maybe I’m missing something in that respect. But I’m just genuinely curious as to why he makes people so inflamed.

bluegreygreen · 10/05/2025 11:26

I think it's generally the amount of unkindness he's shown to multiple people.
(I haven't read the book either but have read excerpts here and elsewhere.)

Examples of the top of my head
In the Oprah interview: in allowing the suggestion of racism in the family, which he later retracted in the Tom Bradby interview (which of course far fewer people will have seen); in allowing the mocking of curtseying to the late Queen.

In the book: in mocking the physical imperfections of the matron; in commenting on the person with whom he lost his virginity; in describing his brother's private parts; in describing the (private) disagreement he had with his father when the late Queen died and his father did not wish Meghan to travel to Balmoral.

This is obviously without the other issues around bullying in the Sussexes office, and the obfuscation in interviews about security.

How’s your judicial review against RAVEC going?

You obviously think they should provide unlimited taxpayer-funded armed security to bears of little brain.

...I think I can hear someone knocking at my door if it's Hazza I'm going straight to the papers.

Wundy · 10/05/2025 11:36

I don't know if this is a true story or not, but if Harry had had the bad luck to knock on the door of a terrorist going about his day, I wonder which of them would be the more confused.

Harry: Oh, sorry - you're not Tarquin. Do you know what number he lives at?

Terrorist: Um, hang on a minute - I'll go and see if I've got his address

<Terrorist to wife>: Quick, look out of the bedroom window. Is that that bloke I'm meant to be looking out for>

quantumbutterfly · 10/05/2025 11:38

UpJacksArseAndRoundTheCorner · 09/05/2025 23:56

What if it was someone with Taliban or Neo Nazi leanings?

Yeah I just hate it when that happens.

It's the reason I gave up carol singing.

I’ve only just seen this, I'm guessing this was when he was in London for the court case ?

Nopersbro · 10/05/2025 11:42

He was probably Trick or Treating and accidentally got the wrong date, and then made up the looking for a friend story knowing that people on here would accuse him of being "immature" and/or "American".

You would not know if all your life you had other people doing stuff for you - like everything, from squeezing toothpaste on your toothbrush to finding addresses of your friends, driving you there, arranging meetings. If people don't do things themselves, they quickly become de-skilled, be it rich people with servants or say, sick people, for whom relatives do everything to help, but de-skill them in the process.

This is why I released my children into the wild.

Man knocks on THREE doors. THREE doors before finding correct address.

Oh no! What a monster! Quick! Throw him in jail, before he shows more average joe behavior.

Farewellpeggy · 10/05/2025 11:51

Random person at film premiere/coffee shop/ airport : ‘Do get in touch next time you’re in London’…. A few weeks later….Hazza knocks on random doors ‘I’m looking for a friend…will you be my friend?…ok I’ll try someone else…’

No I don't, and I haven't said that.
I think people need to stop being completley and utterly obsessed with Harry and Meghan, it's just bizarre!

DyslexicPoster · 10/05/2025 11:53

If it was my mum I'd be worried about dementia.

DragonRunor · 10/05/2025 11:54

midlandsmummy123 · 09/05/2025 23:42

I just don't get why people are so invested in this.

I suppose because he claims he’s such a security risk that the UK taxpayer should pay to keep him safe - yet he chooses to behave like this 🤷‍♀️

He can knock on all the doors he likes without any interest from me once he works out that the British State (ie we) don’t owe him anything

SockFluffInTheBath · 10/05/2025 11:56

Looks like some attention-seeking pick me shit to demonstrate why he needs ignoring protecting.

Profhilodisaster · 10/05/2025 11:58

Wouldn't his security have made sure it was the correct address before allowing him out of the car. Seems to me that he either doesn't know this friend very well or it's not even someone he knows at all.

Read his book and you might understand. Or that awful tome Finding Freedom’.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 09/05/2025 23:43

Getting lost and knocking on random people’s doors when they are meant to be your friends? I recommend using google maps my friend 🥰

Or he could - I don't know - ring them up first? "Here, Sebastian, what's your address again?"

Wundy · 10/05/2025 12:09

Mrs Terrorist: I can't tell if it's him - invite him in while I find that book he wrote and see if there are any pictures I can compare him with

Terrorist: Don't be ridiculous. If it is him, he's meant to be terrified for his life- he wouldn't be so stupid as to come into a strange house

Mrs Terrorist: Just try it, I can't find the book or the weapons.

Terrorist <resignedly>: Er, I don't suppose you'd like to come in and wait while I find Tarquin's address?

Harry: Yah, sure ...
