Who’s calling? Prince Harry knocks on the wrong door and causes confusion in London

Residents of Fulham, a quiet London neighbourhood, witnessed a scene worthy of a royal comedy: Prince Harry was caught on security cameras knocking on several wrong doors while looking for a friend’s house.

Dressed in a blue suit and visibly agitated, the Duke of Sussex knocked at as many as three different homes located more than 500 metres apart.

Many residents did not immediately recognise the distinguished visitor, although images soon began circulating among neighbours. The confusion was twofold: because of the prince’s mix-up and because he was alone in a residential area without any kind of escort.

Harry has publicly expressed his fear over the lack of official protection since stepping down from his role as a working member of the royal family. He even lost a lawsuit against the British Ministerio del Interior over this issue. However, his recent walk through Fulham appears to contradict his own warnings.

It is not the first time he has broken protocol. Last year, he had food delivered to an exclusive residence without any visible security measures. Although the prince says he does not feel safe in the United Kingdom, his actions seem to keep defying protocol… and maps.
