Prince Harry Caught Knocking on Random Doors in Viral Video
Prince Harry may be royalty, but even he isn’t immune to the occasional wrong address. The Duke of Sussex was spotted in a now-viral Ring camera photo looking confused while knocking on random doors in London, apparently lost and “looking for a friend,” according to The Sun.
The clip, taken in the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, shows Harry in a blue suit and white sweater, holding a phone to his ear as he tried at least three homes before finding the right one. Behind him: the quintessential Victorian terrace houses of west London, along with the unmistakable fish-eye lens of the Ring camera that captured the moment.
“It’s a bit odd he didn’t seem to have a clue which house he was aiming for,” one neighbor reportedly told The Sun. “I don’t think many people would just walk down a road knocking on doors.” In fact, a housekeeper at one home answered the door but didn’t even recognize the prince.
The awkward moment comes amid Harry’s legal push to have his U.K. taxpayer-funded security reinstated following his exit from royal duties. He recently lost an appeal on the matter and gave a pointed interview to the BBC blaming his father, King Charles, for the withdrawal of protection. “I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Harry said, adding that the King won’t speak to him because of the security issue.
Harry’s surprise visit—and his viral Ring moment—has only added to the royal family drama. A source told the Daily Beast that Prince William is planning to strip Harry and Meghan of their remaining HRH titles when he becomes king.
Whether you’re a prince or not, it turns out showing up unannounced still raises eyebrows—and triggers Ring alerts.
