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?

I don't want to say anymore. I will leave it to your imagination.

And this is hypothetical, you understand. I am talking about years ago when he was very popular. i was at a public event once and his image appeared and the crowd went wild - especially young people who I am guessing were not pro the RF. Mind you, at the time they also went wild at the mention of Boris Johnson (this was years before he was prime minister). People have almost forgotten how popular Harry used to be. He has now been decisively described as the villain

People still flock to see Versailles…..

That's not the point though is it? Quite apart from the absurdity of painting Harry as "just" another person, his whole lawsuit was based on how he needs full time tax payer funded security as UK poses a deadly threat to his safety. And here he is wandering alone in the streets ringing strangers' doorbells. Of course this doesn't sit right.

Wonder who he was looking for.

There's plenty of reports of members of the RF - including the late queen and more recently Charles, so when head of state - being spotted (and not always recognised) out and about in public. Security is discreet and low key.

Also plenty of members of the RF don't have police protection unless on a formal royal visit/occasion. Only Charles, Camilla, William and Kate (and presumably the Wales children).

Obviously intelligence is shared as necessary with whatever private (unarmed) security they have, as they would with Harry's team, and if there is a specific risk/threat then security can be stepped up (as happened with e.g Salman Rushdie).

So there's no reason Harry can't wander round wherever he wants, with whatever private security he feels necessary.

Which is exactly what RAVEC is saying - give us 28 days notice, we'll take an up to date look at the risks and provide the security needed in light of those risks and his plans (where he's staying, what he's planning to do, the situation specific risks as well as the more general risks).

That doesn't automatically mean 24/7 armed Met protection, which Harry claims is necessary and to which he is entitled due to his 'status' and 'public service' - his words.

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 reminds me of his and Meghan's £18 million podcast deal. Meghan released 12 episodes; Harry released zero. Seriously: £18m to record yourself talking. And Harry couldn't do it even once. He must have thought someone else would come up with ideas for the episodes, write scripts for him, book all the guests for him...

We're essentially seeing what happens when someone born into royalty gets released into the wild.

To be honest, I doubt if even he would feel the need for full security for just himself during a personal trip to a residential street in Fulham in the evening when at least he thought he knew where he was going. I thought he was talking about his family in public areas? And it is very unlikely as others have said that he was going to be ambushed by the Taliban under those circumstances…

So very popular when the RF handled his PR and publicity.
Very unpopular when he's out on his own, handling his own PR and publicity.....🤔

Didn't his podcast fall to the wayside because he wanted to interview Putin to find out his childhood experiences that had turned him into A Very Bad Man and was baffled when he was told that was more chance of him landing on the moon?

@Pedallleur ,at least you don't burden yourself with the King's English.

But he wants full security for every visit – that's the entire point of his legal action against the Govt.

The Crown Estate has brought in approximately £320-£350 million annually in recent years, but this money goes to the government which then gives the King a grant based on a percentage of the Crown Estate’s income two years previously. This grant is currently worth £86.3 million.

They will get the level of security needed for the assessed risk, as assessed by RAVEC. That might be 24/7 armed Protection Officers, it may not.

He wants to automatically get the highest level of security, 24/7 armed Protection Officers.

Wow. 3 doors? Sounds like Hazzer was desperate for those drugs. That shot with him and massive wheelie bins behind is an absolute classic.

Sorry Miss, the dog ate my homework. I'll try to do better next time and proof read/correct the errors.

You can't actually answer the question, can you.

Harry was a drug addled teen with a reputation for racist gaffs. He was rehabilitated via the armed forces (entering a job he was not qualified for, and developing an unearned reputation as a hero); via the palace PR machine and the men in grey he hates so much, creating projects for him to be the face of without having to do any of the graft; and through his "Fab 3" association with his brother and sister in law, who brought the best out in him. That was when he was popular, when he had people around him giving him a helping hand to not revert to his natural state. Without all of that, and free of the constraints he felt under the RF, has he brought about the glorious revolution? No he has not. And he never will.

Edit to add: I don't know why you are being so coy about answering what Harry could have done to upset the status quo had he stayed in the RF. Perhaps because you know that whatever "it" was it will have amounted to nothing.

Don't you just love our history ❤️

Oh it was even funnier than that - Harry wanted to interview Putin to find out why he had turned out bad, and compare it to himself, Prince Harry who, with all his disadvantages in life, had turned out so well 😂😂!
I'm not even joking 😃!

Could explain why his security guard if there was one didn't ring the door.

Does it not occur to you that he may have been knocking on "random doors" because someone might have been able to help him, ie they may have known his friend and where the friend lived. It's not as mad as you're making out.

Why would a complete stranger know the address of Harry's friend more than Harry would 😕

Just remembering a very embarrassing cross purposes conversation I had at a party with a man who told me he used to be in royalty protection and I thought he meant he was something to do with publishing-and making sure writers got paid properly…..

My understanding is you usually give your security the detail the slip for drug deals, or if really famous, you send them for the drugs.

Liam Payne comes to mind.

They do, but it's the Royal Louis/Marie Antoinette connection that attracts the visitors. Without the mystery and romance of the Valois' and the Bourbons it's just a big building with a lot of empty rooms.
