Harry knocking on random doors in London

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

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?

It's a cliffhanger isn't it? I'll wait for the film of the story to get to amazon prime.

well, if it’s good enough for Hugh Grant

Or Sebastian: ”It’s tricky to find, mate. Give me a ring when you find the street and I’ll pop out and give you a wave.”

Unless Sebastian is also terrified of being on the mean streets of Chelsea and is hiding under the bed with all the curtains drawn to avoid the ‘dark forces’ at work.

'And to have knocked on the door of someone who coincidentally was prepared to sell the picture to the Sun…..Oh, and the people who think the papers wouldn’t print fake content-I have a very nice bridge I can sell you….'

Many people would sell stories to the press. Harry himself being one of them

I don't need any bridges thanks but the press nowadays aren't allowed to print fake news, there's been all kinds of court proceedings about it I'm surprised you missed it.

Is it his face?

Obviously there are reasons a man might not want his “people” following him to the door….

I just can’t understand the obsession of some about Harry and Megan. They may or may not be your cup of tea but there is so much going on in the world and people who far more heinous. Of all the things in the news, this is thing to focus on? Anyway, each to their own I guess.

Mirror has it as down same street - so possible long street wrong end.

It does seem unlikely as most people would use house numbers and/or google maps at that point - or see if it was a long enough street to have two postcodes - apparently ours is.

Knocking on people's doors would be a last resport for me - I'd stop someone in street before that or pop into a shop or something or more likely ring person I was trying to find and get better directions - or have them come and try and find me.

Bothering strangers in their homes because I'm lost does seem a bit rude.

As I said earlier we get a lot of people with wrong address at our doors - it often defaults to main one or they just read first part of address which whole estate starts with - quite a few argue with me as if I don't know what door I'm answering. We had some workmen turn up doing some thing with phone box at front of house and argue the home owner had requested it and I said I am the home owner and I bloody haven't - they did eventually drive off.

I wonder if Harry was on phone - I'm out front - and getting no you're not back - and arguing and ringing bell to prove himself right - or it's all fake and the newapaper are wanting him to sue them again.

Yeah, each to their own. So you go on the “Going on in the World” section of MN and post there. Or you could go and tell the Style&Beauty people how frivolous they are, likewise the Knitters, Chicken Keepers etc while you’re at it.

Something like this happened to me many years ago (before the widespread use of ring doorbell). A friend invited me to her place. I had been there once or twice before, but on the night I lost her address (before use of iPhones - I am ancient). But I felt reasonably confident that I would remember which house it was once I got to the area. I couldn't. I was too shy (I was young) to knock on doors in the street, but I certainly spent quite a lot of time wandering up and down the street to see if someone I knew would come in or out of the house. So there could be all sorts of reasons. It also sounds like a super posh and exclusive street (possibly gated?) because it isn't usual for most of us to send our housekeeper to open the door for us.

I suppose it was the expensive court case to get armed security that got people’s attention and there’s the Oprah interview and book.

I just think he thought number 22 is next to number 21 - not on the other side of the road.

Waiting for the “friend” to come forward….

Harry and Meghan want to be talked about, why else would they give interviews, publish , books and appear on podcasts ?

I don't think he would sue a paper about this single event.

I must say that the photo looks fake - photoshopped. Especially around the bottom of the picture which is quite blurred and suspicious-looking.

Well, the Sussexes have a track record of responding quickly and publicly to anything said about them they dislike or wish to claim is not true or unfair. Harry appeared on TV talking about the unfairness of the judicial review within hours of its release. So I'll be interested to see what they say about this. If it's some kind of deepfake I'd expect them to say so pretty quickly.

Of course they do. They're desperate. It's all they have.

I was watching a youtube video on someone I consider a minor acting star, but you couldn't see his security in the video and then the camera caught a glimpse of them, quite some way behind him. I found that quite interesting because from the video you would have thought this celeb was just quietly strolling along like anybody else.

If it's fake - he will sue. That man doesn't approve of any kind of press freedom, and is absolutely paranoid about his own publicity.
Plus - and this is the thing about Harry - he would do it to get more headlines, and more money.

Trust me. You have NO idea of what a vendetta is like.

He's also lucky he wasn't doing this in the US. As I posted earlier, he could have been shot.

Are you aware of the crime rate in the affluent streets in London?

Well, he lives in the USA, so he definitely runs that risk, not being the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I'm amazed that someone who is so fearful for his safety actually lives in a place with gun ownership.

Have you asked the BBC, ITV, C4, the Independent, the broadsheets and former-broadsheet newspapers like the Guardian and the Observer why they had Harry's RAVEC court case as a leading news story for many days in a row recently?

The state broadcaster and the rest of the mainstream media both reflect and affect what is regarded as 'News'. This is hardly the fault of a few MN posters.

I think Harry's judicial review was also regarded as fairly big news in various other countries. (We are not all of us from the UK.)

Also I would add that many MN posters are capable of being interested in more than one news item at a time, and holding a number of concerns in their heads simultaneously and joining them up into, say, a concern about the rise of popular authoritarianism. This is such an extremely obvious thing to understand, that I wonder what possible motive another poster might have for suggesting that it isn't.

Harry and Meghan make sure they’re constantly in the public eye and will stop at nothing to overshadow (or hijack for their own end) awful things goings on in the world.

I don’t understand the vitriol directed at them that is all.
