Prince Harry: Duke of Sussex spotted knocking on random doors in London before claiming security ‘stitch-up’

In one of the strongest and most embarrassing signs that Prince Harry’s recent outbursts are wide of the mark, the Duke of Sussex has been spotted wandering a London street knocking on doors with no security concerns.

The Prince launched a stunning attack on King Charles and the UK legal system after his bid to have government funded security for his family when they are in the UK reinstated failed, saying his father and brother were somehow involed in a “stitch-up”.

After using death threats and security issues as the foundation of his argument for the protection amendment, the Prince was spotted on front door cameras and within the street, reportedly searching for a friend’s house.

The Daily Mail reports the Duke was seen outside a stranger’s house, using his mobile phone in a bid to locate the residence John and Georgina Vaughan, thought to be old friends.

Property investor Mr Vaughan, in his mid 40s, comes from a long-established aristocratic family who have owned Courtfield Estate, Herefordshire since the 16th Century. Mr Vaughan’s wife Georgina is an artist.

Incredibly the Prince had failed to phone ahead and the residence, once occupied by the Vaughan’s, is now a rental leased by a Spanish family.

One resident said they thought Harry “was trying to remember either the parents or his friend who lived at the top of the road.”

“The people he knew have long gone and moved elsewhere.”

“I think he got the numbers muddled up. I wondered what he was doing wandering around our street.

“If he’d knocked on my door, I would have invited him in and said ‘I can give you all the information you need’. But he didn’t knock on my door, and I just feel very sorry for him.”

In a further pointer to the Prince’s ability to move freely within his native Landon, the local added: “A pub run by a friend of his is close by - I suppose he just walked from there to here.”

“He has been seen in the area before. He used to drink at a pub down the road from here,” another resident of the street told the Daily Mail.

“He was looking for a friend who used to live in this road and now they rent the house out to people from overseas. They’ve rented it out, they’ve moved away and that’s all I will say.”

Prince Harry feels he had been ‘singled out for’ unjustified, inferior treatment’ since he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back as working royals five years ago, the security trial previously heard.

His barrister also argued that the removal of Met Police armed bodyguards when he is in the UK has left the royal’s life ‘at stake’.

“The conditions of my security were not based on threat, risk and impact, they were made based on my role - one that my wife and I wanted to maintain but was ultimately refused,” the Prince told the court..

“This all comes from the same institutions that preyed upon my mother, that openly campaigned for the removal of our security, and continue to incite hatred towards me, my wife and even our children.”

“I’ve been treated differently to everybody else that exists, I have been singled out,’ he told the BBC following the Court of Appeal ruling.
