Page 20 | 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? https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34882882/prince-harry-wrong-door-camera/

Not everyone reads up on Harry or follows tabloid royal news.

I assume he is dissatisfied with the security he currently has and wants a certain tier of security he currently doesn't have. Or wants that security applied more broadly? Or what was the point of the case?

So why comment at all when you’re so ill informed?

What a fucking plonker. It's almost like he doesn't actually know how to do normal things. Like find out his mates address and then go there.

It looked to be somewhere like Kensington or Chelsea where there are plenty of people in social housing etc. it's not some tiny village.

'oh, yah, hi, is this Timmy's hice? Oh, nay?! yah, it must be. I'll just come in as he's expecting me, could you move aside please. Urgh, staff..'
While some clueless benefits claimant in an HMO stares him down on the doorstep.

I think this is all as traditional as gold coaches and Zadoc the Priest.

Which generation of royals hasn't

1). Been a bit odd
2). Engaged in pointless feuds?

I will admit that marrying an actress rather than keeping her as a mistress is new.

If we don't like Harry's behaviour, and don't want to see it in future generations, the only answer is to become a republic.

Not true. More freedom, far less money.

No opening doors for every Tom, (frostbitten) Dick, and Harry who comes a-knocking.

I personally think Harry ought to have all the security he's after.

If anything profoundly negative DOES unfortunately occur to either him, his wife or children it will reflect very badly on we the British people. I admittedly do not know all the details - anyone feel free to correct me - but my understanding was he had it before he got married and then when he left the country, it was taken away. It does seem somewhat of a bid to send a message of 'you cannot have that and this' I can't imagine if he had married more appropriately and agreeably and had relocated under a cloud of goodwill to somewhere like Botswana that his top level security would have been taken away.

Now imagine a scenario where something happens solely to Harry and Meghan goes on the publicity touring warpath. She's already proven herself to be litigious. Just imagine anything happens and all the anti-royal Meghan stans out there. It would very bad for the Monarchy indeed, especially as we draw closer to America with their Republican sentiments.

Talk about saving money but are the Royals as a whole value for money in any real respect? Some would say they could sell off a few of the empty properties they have hanging around just to start with and they'd still not be trimming back. So I hardly think the money is the true concern. I think that's a smokescreen argument.

The fall out from Diana was bad enough. After the racism claims and the Andrew debacle, one more major scandal and that it could well be the end of the Royals.

I think paying for his security is a small price for him to shut up and go away and get on with it, and averting future problems.

He gets security. He just has to give notice that he's coming to the UK and he gets the full armed malarkey. What he doesn't have is the Met's VIP Protection Unit on speed-dial to give him 24/7 security whenever he wants, just like Princess Anne doesn't, just like Prince Edward doesn't. Those two do actual Royal work that brings money in the UK economy so they have a more compelling argument that they deserve it, but you don't find them whining on. Frankly, Harry is terrible value for tax payers' money and doesn't deserve a penny more of it.

Less money? He's a multimillionaire! He had access to amazing properties all over the world, first class travel, free housekeeping and chauffeur services! 😂

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

I don't think anyone's 'invested'. Just shocked, amused, baffled.

There are lots of good explanations on this thread which will answer your question if you look.

Will never happen. The Royals bring too much money into the UK economy for any Govt to try to overthrow the monarchy. They generate about £1.8bn a year, of which we give them back £83m for the sovereign grant. Seems like a bargain to me.

YYYDlilah · 10/05/2025 13:42

@MrsEmmelineLucas , but his lifestyle is an expensive one. He needs a higher income to maintain it.
He wants a superstar lifestyle and his personal wealth won't fund that.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 09/05/2025 23:33

It almost looks like he’s knocking on random doors looking for a drug dealer! How odd. Especially when he’s so worried about security. Why would he not know his friends’ address?

Oh give over

It's not the behaviour per se...it's the betrayal of family confidences over a long period of time. I can't recall any other royals, even the black sheep of each generation, doing that - but happy to be corrected.

Anyone who does what H has done has destroyed their chances of being trusted ever again, either within the family or in state/official duties. He's cooked his goose good and proper! I hope he's happy to live in California sunshine for the rest of his life.

What rational explanation do you have, then?

Livingbeyondyourmemes · 10/05/2025 13:45

The real threat that Harry poses is that for a moment he was so popular that he had the potential to destabilise the status quo. That was nipped in the bud pronto.

How, exactly?

Well kinda I did have a very drunk possibly high slightly suicidal man knocking on my door looking for his friend he genuinely couldn't work out where they lived he remembered "blue front door red car by the tree (example) but not the house number unfortunately there are many blue doors many red cars and a fair few trees in my area

Those points are not objective, and could probably be applied to anyone.

KittyTinker · 10/05/2025 13:47

This is purely my speculation based on the recent interview with the BBC and his subsequent statement and evidence from the court case. I suspect he wants a RAVEC review which I think he hopes will then be based on his new circumstances living in the USA travelling to unsafe countries etc.
He may say that this is purely about UK based security but giving evidence to court of the NYC car chase doesn’t reflect that.

I wouldn't call that press freedom. It's malicious - especially given the context. It is also cruel given that Harry seems more paranoid about past traumas than he is about the way he is portrayed. Imo he is more obsessed with avenging the death of his mother. Can you imagine him receiving the news of his mother's death when he was a child and thinking that it was caused by press intrusion? In his mind she was killed because she lost the protection of HRH title. I get that many on here and in the UK hate him and see everything he does in a negative light - in line with his press portrayal, and I think I get why but I also understand why this is a battle he wants/needs to win.

I don't hate him i think all the expensive therapy was wasted on him I also think he might have pickled his brains a little on the drugs he has admitted to doing

Or rather he begrudges spending his own money because he's used to living off the public purse. Didn't he inherit about £8million from the Queen having received the same amount from her mum? He also inherited £10m from Diana on his 30th birthday and earned a £15m advance for Spare. That's without his share of the Netflix and Spotify deals. He's not sure of a bob or two – to use a MN phrase, he just needs to cut his cloth accordingly. Maybe back on Deliveroos and all those planet-destroying private flights he likes to take.

Criticising the RF from within is potentially very powerful. Imagine a world where the majority of the population were on Harry's side and what that could lead to.

His travelling to unsafe countries is personal choice, though?
He could be simply advised not to, if he feels unsafe and would rather not fund the security himself 😬
Much like the rest of humanity, really.
