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?

He does not one thing that hurts anyone here. Nothing.

Just to pick up this point - I disagree. He wants us, UK taxpayers, to pay more towards the additional security he wants and to subsidise the extra costs of him not having to give 28 days' notice of his plans. That hurts our already struggling economy. It takes from all of us. This from an able-bodied man who has millions in the bank already, lives abroad, and who could work a proper job and earn an honest living. Harry's selfish conduct does hurt people in the UK. I hope he is made to pay his legal bill from the court case without delay - that's yet another thing he'd be happy for ordinary UK residents to pick up the tab for.

rumours have it that the papers had both this and the deliveroo one previous to the court ruling and certainly before his ridiculous interview but chose to sit on both then release them at the most opportune moment!!!

I could easily believe that, @jeffgoldblum; after all we've seen many times with others that stories can be "sat on", and doubtless more will trickle out in time

BTW does anyone know what's happening with Harry's case against the Mail ... isn't that this week?

Yes I believe that too !
no idea about his other case but according to Harry he’s not that bothered either, it was the security one that was the most important!
im sure the other participants were delighted to hear that.

OK, so it's snobbery then.

Of course. What did you think it was?🤣

Yep. It has completely undermined his case and his litany of complaints. He has been shown - yet again - to be dishonest, to be hypocritical and to be completely self obsessed
I understand his issue about security was to protect his children..

Perhaps if he stayed at home for more than a week or two instead of gallivanting about the world , his security could protect his children too!

notacooldad · 11/05/2025 13:07

No. Did you follow the Livestream?
No.

They remind me of that game from decades ago, I think it was called Pac-Man, where a wee figure would appear on a screen and before you knew one had become many and then just when you were thinking where had this lot come from, one by one they’d just fall off the screen into some kind of oblivion never to be seen again.

Yep, and the Pac-Stans have seemingly been released onto this thread in particular by the Meredith-Borg, presumably to try to head off criticism of Harry's latest indefensible behaviour.

The trouble for them is, they completely misunderstand that Harry's decreasing popularity is not something that can be influenced by some daft posts on MN. They just exasperate people with their lazy misunderstandings of the court process, and with their insults & clichéd character assassinations. It's all part of the hackneyed 'script' that we now know so well.

And, ironically (in the modern sense), they actually draw more attention to what a hypocrite Harry is.

From you, some complicated narrative, of course!

Oh please!

The Met does liaise with private security, passes on information as necessary to the private security of high profile/HNWIs, and where necessary (e.g. Salmon Rushdie) provide the security directly (including armed Protection Officers).

The key phrase is WHERE NECESSARY.

RAVEC decides what is necessary, which is what Harry has challenged with this court case.

Harry has decided he and his family need to automatically have the highest level.of Protection while in the UK. Anyone who says otherwise is, according to Harry, part of an Establishment stitch up aimed at getting him killed.

Sorry, yes, I was responding to the poster you quoted, not to you!

The weird thing is, if there is an Establishment stitch up to get him bumped off, then having Met Protection instead of private security would put him more at risk - his own argument has no internal logic...

If it is genuine-and, bizarrely enough, it’s starting to look more likely that it is-I know who won’t be popular. The person who sold the picture to the Sun, that’s who. The street WhatsApp will be red hot!

Ah yet you were on about 'having a bridge to sell us' as we pointed out they wouldnt print it if fake, now you accept it is looking like it is genuine Grin.

foreverblowingbubbless · 11/05/2025 13:34

101 reasons why an addled Prince Harry would be ringing doorbells in London 😂😂 maybe he's claiming asylum !

Baital · 11/05/2025 13:37

It's like the 'we were forced out/ they took away our security to.prevent us leaving' claims he makes.

It can't be both...

jeffgoldblum · 11/05/2025 13:39

I was reliably informed on another thread that commenting on possibly fake stories is perfectly acceptable!
( of course I suppose it depends on who it’s about)

Baital · 11/05/2025 13:40

In general stuff in the mainstream media is either obviously speculation (sources say), or has been fairly rigorously fact checked and run past lawyers. Not that mistakes are never made, or the clever insinuation doesn't exist, but in general there is a degree of checking (and they can be pressured to make a correction) that doesn't apply to the wider media landscape.

If it was a fake I suspect it would have been exposed by now.

Pivoted to a bit of nimbyism over low class neighbours who read the Sun.

'The key phrase is WHERE NECESSARY.'

The problem is as we all sadly know attacks are rarely predicted. He has made himself high profile with all his media gossip and his taliban kills musing. I know many of the rf don't get round the clock protection but most if not all of them aren't such divisive characters.

I find H to be a petulant, attention seeking prat but imo he should get Met protection whenever in this country. His latest random door knocking an example of his haplessness. We don't want anything to happen to him here, we'd never hear the last of it.

If attacks can’t be predicted, why does he want access to Met intelligence. By that reckoning it must be pretty useless 🤷‍♀️. And he will get security if he bothered to give notices that he is coming and he is assessed to be at risk. As had been said ad nauseam, he can’t expect security to be just hanging around waiting for him to rock up. They are busy. As you say, no one wants anything to happen to him here, but at the end of the day he doesn’t live here and at its most basic, it is not practical to give him security at the drop of a hat. And if he can wonder around town without met security ringing doorbells and feel safe, why does he even want security?

Most of them are not divisive because they just get on with living their lives and don't go out of their way to attract attention. When a member of the RF gives an interview, it's very rarely about themselves, but nearly always to highlight issues or causes they support.

Profhilodisaster · 11/05/2025 13:59

@Gloriia he does get protection when in the Uk

Baital · 11/05/2025 14:04

I wish women leaving an abusive partner got proper protection from the police, they are far more at risk than Harry.

Wouldn't it be dreadful if anything happened to them... oh wait, all too often it does.

No I mean all the time. I don't get the bespoke bit. Whenever he is here he should get an armed Met officer with him imo. He's a loose cannon, he attracts attention. A pp said he gets it where necessary if there's a particular risk, surely he will always be at risk.

I don't want taxpayers wasted on him really but for our benefit I'd rather we did every time he sets foot here just in case.

If he's deemed to be always at risk, he will always get protection. That is the whole point of the bespoke arrangement - he will get an up to date risk assessment whenever he visits the UK and his level of protection will be decided based on that.

But he's an adult and needs to take responsibility too, which means giving notice of his plans, following the advice/instructions of his protection officers and not doing things like wandering the streets knocking on random doors.

😂😆😂

It's for our benefit now is it? Harry isn't that important in terms of royalty, as someone else said he's not the the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy. If something happens to harry when he's risk taking then that's a terrible shame for him and his loved ones but it won't matter for the British public, not than if say something happened to David Beckham. He is not a working royal and he's no longer in the direct line to the throne.

If anything they probably need to up the Wales family's security when Harry is in town as he can no longer be trusted.

Harry get the security he needs, that's why he needs to give notice unless he taps into existing royal security if he visits his dad.

I prefer for any excess (as if) tax money going into education, healthcare and care for the most vulnerable in the UK. Harry is an able bodied still youngish man who is rich and can pay for his own security. He gets what's given.
