Known Stalker Twice Got Within Feet of Prince Harry During London Visit

Experts say the case-by-case protection policy leaves the prince vulnerable, warranting a fresh threat review.

Overview

  • A woman identified by Harry’s team as a fixated individual approached him at the WellChild Awards at the Royal Lancaster Hotel on September 9 and again near Imperial College London two days later.
  • Private staff recognized the woman and physically blocked her on both occasions, with at least one close approach occurring without a police presence.
  • Harry’s private security list flagged the woman due to prior incidents, including reports she followed the couple to Nigeria in 2024.
  • The Metropolitan Police declined to discuss security arrangements, while a security source warned that relying on recognition and luck is not a sustainable safeguard.
  • After losing his Court of Appeal bid in May to restore automatic police protection, Harry remains subject to RAVEC’s visit-by-visit approach as figures such as ex-counterterror chief Neil Basu urge a formal reassessment of his threat level.
