Prince Harry caught knocking on wrong door while searching for friend's house

The youngest son of King Charles III recently lost a major case against the Crown. Prince William's brother was demanding systematic police protection for his wife Meghan, their children and himself when they travel to his homeland. The British courts gave a resounding 'no' on 2 May 2025, deciding to go along with the government's decision to downgrade police protection for the Sussexes in the United Kingdom.

After losing his court case, Prince Harry gave an interview to the BBC in which he said he feared history would repeat itself, referring to the brutal death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.

However, recent viral videos of the prince have led to serious backlash with some accusing him of undermining his own safety during recent visits to London. Indeed, on 9 May 2025, the prince was invited by one of his friends to go to the latter's home, but he was a little lost and had to ring three different doors before finding the right one. This was all caught on camera.

Prince Harry got lost in the streets of London

Incredible images of a completely out-of-it Harry leaked to the British media, and the Sussex boy's blunder was widely commented on. One resident told The Sun:

We were shocked to see it was him on the camera. We only really noticed once neighbours started talking — and then we were like, ‘Oh yes!’.

Another source added:

Two of the houses he knocked at are at completely opposite ends of the road, which is about half a mile long. It’s a bit odd he didn’t seem to have a clue which house he was aiming for. I don’t think many people would just walk down a road knocking on doors, let alone if you don’t feel safe.

And this is not the only blunder by the author of tell-all memoir Spare. It comes just days after another controversy involving Meghan Markle's husband. While still embroiled in the legal battle to regain his police protection service in the UK, the Montecito exile is said to have taken another very significant risk during an evening out with friends.

Prince Harry's other controversial night out

According to reports in The Sun on Sunday on 3 May 2025, the prince ordered a meal online to be delivered to the home of his lifelong friend, Lord Charles Vivian. A Deliveroo driver arrived at his friend's £8 million home in Chelsea, London, with food. According to Ken Wharfe, Princess Diana's former protection officer, the order represented an 'unthinkable security risk'. A risk usually avoided by members of the royal family...

It’s unbelievable that such a high-profile person, who considers themself to be such a high-security risk, would allow themselves to have a Deliveroo driver arrive at a house with no idea of who they are and what they might be carrying in their bag.

He added, clearly irritated:

If he is still able to go to friends’ houses and allow Deliveroo to turn up at the door and then have the audacity to moan about his lack of security that is a very unintelligent thing to do.
