Prince Harry is reportedly ‘staying with friends’ while he’s in London this week

Every time we’ve seen Prince Harry entering or exiting the London High Court this week, he’s been flanked by security guards. It’s widely assumed that these are private security guards and that they are unarmed, which is one of the big debates/conversations around Harry and his security. Harry wants to be able to have access to British security when he visits the UK because police can be armed, plus the police will have a better idea about domestic threats and terrorist threats. Meanwhile, the cops told him that he would have to give 28-day notice before he flies into the UK before they would even consider protecting him. That’s a separate legal action though! All of which means that people are really wondering about where Harry is staying this week and what his security situation is like. Fox News (I know) claims that Harry is staying in London – not Frogmore Cottage in Windsor – and that he’s staying “with friends.”

Prince Harry made a surprise appearance in London, but a reconciliation with Prince William and King Charles III is not happening, royal experts insist.

It is believed that the 38-year-old is staying with friends while in town, a source told Fox News Digital.

“Harry’s trip to London has one goal and one goal only – he is entirely focused on the legal cases he and Meghan Markle are pursuing against the U.K. press,” Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News Digital. “He apparently has no plans to try and smooth things over with his brother, William, or his father, the king.”

Andersen claimed that Harry’s relationship with his family is deeply fractured following the publication of his explosive memoir, “Spare,” in January. In it, the father of two detailed his struggles with royal life.

“Even if Harry did wish to reconcile ahead of the coronation, it’s highly doubtful he’d get a warm reception,” Andersen shared. “William appears to have thrown up his hands in disgust. Charles III is still furious over Harry’s devastating portrayal of his wife, Camilla, as a villainous schemer in his bombshell memoir.”

[From Fox News]

Remember last September, the Windsors also tried to impose themselves and their narratives on Harry and Meghan’s visit to the UK. The Sussexes were only supposed to be in town for a few days and they were focused solely on their charitable visits. Charles and William were screaming, crying and throwing up about how they refused to see Harry and there will be no reconciliation and all of that. It’s the exact same play here – Harry is in town for business and the Windsors have no idea where he is or where he’s going, but they’re making his visit all about them. What happens next? If past is prologue…

Meanwhile, People Magazine claims that Harry really did “inform” his father and brother that he would be in the UK for the court hearing. No mention of when he informed them or how – I suspect an email or text to one of the few courtiers he can stand. I also believe that if Harry was staying in Frogmore this week, it would have already been leaked to the press. Wherever he’s staying, it’s got good security and the people around him are incredibly discreet. Now, I also kind of hope that he stays one extra day to pack up Frogmore Cottage.

    I figured good friends were keeping him safe and secure. But HM are like Batman, they get in and out without their archenemys knowing they were even there. That so cool!

    • Couch Potato says:

      But, but, but, I thought all his friends had disowned them? I thought they didn’t have any friends at all? Did the rota forget to send that memo to Fox?

      • Athena says:

        That was my exact thought, how many time have they told us that he had no friends left. And btw this case is all Harry, nothing to do with Meghan so they don’t need to drag her name into it.

      • Jenna says:

        I thought the same thing. Did the “press” say none of his old friends can stand him because of Meghan?
        Ugh, the RR SUCK!!!!

    • Cara says:

      It is nice to know that there are still a few good people living there. The tabloid press paints all Brits as dim-witted dipshits.

    • Tarzana says:

      I love H and M, but I really don’t see H packing up Frogmore. He still has connections and trustworthy cousins to do that, as would I.

    • Kathleen says:

      I doubt that Harry informed the palace where he was staying and when exactly he would be arriving or his entire itinerary would have been on the front pagea of all the tabloids.

  2. HamsterJam says:

    I was wondering how he gets to where he is staying without his car being followed by paparazzi and or newspaper detectives.

    • Becks1 says:

      Yeah I’m surprised that hasn’t happened yet – the car being followed to wherever it is he is staying. I wonder if he comes and goes from his lawyer’s office and then sneaks in and out of the office through a back entrance or something. so if they followed him it would just be to the office.

      I’m not surprised he’s not at Frogmore if he’s just here for the trial, he probably wants to be close to the courthouse and not have to drive back and forth to Windsor each day.

      • Dot Gingell says:

        His drivers will be highly trained in defensive and evasive driving techniques and all vehicles will be swept for bugs/tracking devices.

    • notasugarhere says:

      That happened when he went to a WellChild event around the time of the Diana statue unveiling. If it happens again, it is more fodder for his security lawsuit.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ notasugarhere, that is absolutely true!! The mere fact that H is having to divert from being followed will also help his case before the RAVEC committee especially if he has proof, which he will.

    • HennyO says:

      The first day he came to court by a 5 passengers London black cab, with his comms secretary and bodyguards. Can you imagine this boss move?

      • Robert Phillips says:

        Probably the safest way. You call a cab. They don’t know who the passenger is going to be. His security keeps the cabbie from relaying any information to anyone. They drive up and Harry gets out. And I wouldn’t doubt he only stays one night with one friend and moves somewhere else the next night.

      • Feeshalori says:

        Can you just imagine the cabbie’s reaction to Harry’s appearance in his taxi? Oh, to be a fly on the dashboard!

    • Monlette says:

      I am guessing they have to employ evasive maneuvers. Like pull into a parking garage, slip into a shop, slip out the back to a waiting car that will take them to another garage etc…

  3. equality says:

    If Cam didn’t want to be portrayed as a “schemer”, she should have behaved better.

    • Whyforthelove says:

      Right?!?! Maybe not making the lives of 2 children who had lost their mother miserable would have been a good start!!

    • Couch Potato says:

      The conniving b$% didn’t think Harry would ever be free to talk.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ CP, that scheming witch thought that Harry would never spill the truth but he did. Camzilla already is standing on shaky ground so those who read Spare would most likely take it as gospel. Especially those who watched it in real time, as those like myself.

    • Jenna says:

      The old, “Play bitch games, win bitch prizes.”

      or

      “Fuck around and find out.”

      Cam did it all.

  4. Snuffles says:

    TRANSLATION: We don’t know. We’re just guessing. We just know it’s not any royal property.

    I hope “friends” is the US Embassy.

    • christine says:

      he’s not American. why would he stay at the US Embassy?

      • Snuffles says:

        Safety and asylum from very real threats.

      • Emily_C says:

        He’s married to an American, has 2 American children, and has an American green card. That’s plenty.

      • Kingston says:

        Pffttt! I wonder what part of Meghan’s US NATIONALITY some folks dont get.

        Harry’s wife and kids are Americans. So I’m sure theyve arranged things such that, as we have all seen, he’s able to live, work and move about freely in and out of the US.

        AND! it therefore means that, like any US citizen anywhere in the world, he and his family can call on the US for protection.

        In addition, H has the ear of both the head of the DoF AND! the president. As well, I am sure, of many other VIP Americans inside and outside of government.

        In fact, I would not be surprised if H and his security receives US intel on britain.

      • Dutch says:

        Exactly. The Embassy is not a hotel. I would think that Elton John has a few secure places around London and security he could lend out. They are both plaintiffs in the case so it’s also to Elton’s benefit to make sure Harry is in the courtroom during the hearings.

      • maryberry says:

        uhhh visa and green card does not equal the US embassy is bound to help you. we don’t know he has a green card, and a green card just means u can work and stay in the US. not that an embassy will harbor you for whatever reason. but also…the US embassy is not a free standing place for people to walk into to stay.

      • Gennessee says:

        Exactly. The U.S. Embassy only helps U.S. Citizens. Doesn’t matter if they are married to a citizen or are parents to citizen children.

        If you’re a visa or green card holder, you’re SOL with the U.S. Embassy.

      • Emily_C says:

        The U.S. Embassy gave shelter and succor to two South Korean filmmakers (Shin Shan-Ok and Choi Eun-hee) who escaped from being held against their will in North Korea when they showed up out of nowhere with no warning. Of course, they were literally on the run. But the U.S. Embassy will help people in need who aren’t American.

        I don’t think Harry is staying there. But it is wrong to say the U.S. Embassy would not care about him at all.

      • Kal says:

        He’s married to an American citizen & has 2 American children. His life is in danger. He’s not just your average Joe off the street. He has connections. I could easily see him being allowed to stay at the embassy. Embassy allows for Temporary refuge. a form of short-term protection from physical danger when the danger is both immediate and exceptionally grave (most often when there is a risk of possible death or serious bodily injury). this option tends to apply to high-profile figures

    • ML says:

      I hope he’s somewhere safe like the US Embassy! Fox (owned by Murdoch who has legally tangled with H&M) reporting that, yoo hoo, Harry isn’t safely ensconced at Frogmore, he’s somewhere in London makes my stomach hurt.

    • Amy Bee says:

      Harry’s not American. Not even US citizens would be housed at the US Embassy.

    • Mer says:

      guys, can we give him more credit and assume he has figured out security for himself and his family? like he doesn’t need to rely on a country for which he isn’t even a citizen of to protect him. kind of insulting to say a grown wealthy British man has to rely on an American embassy (?? how) to protect him in his own home country ffs.

  5. Cel2495 says:

    I was this king the same .. perhaps Elton? For his security is better to stay in London and close to people who wish him well. FC is probably bugged already. Wherever he is staying a hope is has super tight security and that he is feeling good , supported and protected

    • MaryContrary says:

      That is my guess too.

      • EasternViolet says:

        That’s my guess as well. Elton would have the level of home security that would make Harry feel safe, I think.

        Why are the press not following him in his car? Is this not legal? I’m just surprised there aren’t members of the press that would be hoping to uncover that scoop.

    • RoRo says:

      I also assumed he was staying with Sir Elton. Central in London, secure, space for him and privacy. I’m sure that people are trying to follow him but at some point in the commute, there is a hide and switch in a parking garage.

      • Athena says:

        My guess is that Tyler Perry purchases a place in London with the highest level of security so his goddaughter’s dad would feel save when visiting that city. Just kidding folks.

    • HennyO says:

      Elton John’s main family residence is a huge mansion in Windsor, UK.

  6. ThatsNotOkay says:

    The fact that Harry lost friends because he thought they were leaking to Associated is incredibly sad. I wonder if he was able to patch things up with them. Maybe he’s staying with one of them?

    But the most likely case is that he’s staying with Elton. His mom’s best friend.

  7. Harla A Brazen Hussy says:

    I wonder if he’s staying with Elton and David? I’m sure that they have quite adequate security. Also, Harry doesn’t need to stay to pack up Frogmore, I’m certain that they have already cleared out all of their belongings and are done with it, or else he would have stayed there during the hearings.

  8. girl_ninja says:

    Maybe he’s staying with or at Sir Elton’s home? That seems plausible. Regardless, I love that the media doesn’t know and nor does it seem that royal family of his.

    • Mary Pester says:

      @girlninja, I’m surprised they haven’t tried bloody drones to try and follow him, oh how they must be screaming down the phone to their “Royal insiders”,for information, BUT we all know that Charlie and camzilla are in Germany now and BULLYAM and botox barbie have done their usual disappearing trick, so bang goes their “Royal insiders for information!!, and their sources must be tomato or chilli because they haven’t got a scooby lol

    • Jais says:

      It’s def plausible. But the way we’re all assuming he’s staying with Elton has me thinking he’s not staying with Elton. Idk, he’s prob stayin w some connection that we don’t even know about.

  9. Inge says:

    so… does Tyler Perry have a London home?

    I’m glad nothing leaked(apart from the pic that a lot of squaddies saw) and that everyone is talking about the court case now.

    • Jais says:

      He’s filming a movie in London unless it’s already wrapped. The movie sounded good too. Kerry Washington and Oprah in it, I think. About the six triple eight, the only all black all women battalion during ww2.

  10. HeyKay says:

    I like the idea that Harry is staying with Elton and David.
    Elton John must have security.

    I also like the idea that he might be staying at the US Embassy. We better be able to provide security at our Embassy.
    Hey, we can welcome Harry.

    • Dutch says:

      Harry is not a refugee seeking asylum and an embassy is not a hotel. Harry could stay with the US ambassador as a personal guest, but I assume the ambassador lives in quarters away from the actual embassy building. The political fallout for the Biden administration would be insane if they let a wealthy non-American use the embassy as a crash pad.

  11. Louise177 says:

    Harry and Meghan probably packed up Frogmore when they were evicted. There probably wasn’t a lot since they took most of their belongings when they moved to the U.S. I don’t expect them to make a lot of trips to England but wonder if they’ll buy a house.

    • Carty says:

      They probably were the ones that told KC they won’t be using Frogmore again and canceled their lease and asked for refunds. Then it was flipped that they were evicted. It’s always projection with those people

      • Kingston says:

        @Carty……….I whole-heartedly agree. Its always Opposite Day with those cretins in palaces. And their hangers-on.

      • Amy Bee says:

        @Carty: If that was true Harry and Meghan would have said so. They said that they were asked to vacate Frogmore. They were evicted.

      • Well Wisher says:

        @Kingston
        Thank you for explaining the legalities, this explain the article trying to explain the lease agreement in terms of the repayment. He needs to reimburse Harry for the lump sum payment and the monies expended on the expenses in terms of fixtures etc. The Sussexes’ lived full time in that place for 6 months.

    • Kingston says:

      Harry and Meghan were not “evicted” from Fogmore.

      If I give you several months notice that I wont be renewing my lease, then you run and tell folks that youre evicting me, it makes you look like the cretin that most sane folks have always known you are.

      • Amy Bee says:

        Nah, it’s clear they were evicted from Frogmore.

      • Kingston says:

        Amy…..eviction has legal connotations.

        Telling a tenant – WHO DOES NOT OWE YOU RENT AND HAS NOT DAMAGED YOUR PLACE (IN FACT, HAS ENHANCED IT AT PERSONAL EXPENSE & WITH YOUR AGREEMENT) AND HAS NOT BEEN A NUISANCE: there being no prior complaints from you – that youre not renewing their lease (which is your right) is not, in law, an eviction.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        @ Amy Bee, they were not technically legally evicted, they simply utilized the word “evicted” from KCIII of the Vile & Vindictive band to twist it as an eviction.

        Eviction is due to non compliance of the terms in your binding lease agreement, ie paying rent or causing constant disturbances.

  12. L84Tea says:

    I don’t know you guys…I’m starting to seriously wonder if H&M are not going to the coronation afterall. Up until now I’ve been hoping they stay home but knew they’d most likely still attend. But this whole situation has me thinking differently. I know this trial is a completely separate matter than the Chubbly entirely, but the way Harry has navigated this speaks volumes. He just proved he can come and go from the UK without the Firm nor the press having a clue. He has places he can stay with protection outside of the RF’s security. They say they want 28 days notice and Harry just said, yeah no. I don’t know, maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part. Maybe pulling Frogmore was the final straw. But this entire visit from Harry was such a boss move in the face of Charles and the BM, I’m simply having a hard time imagining him and Meghan showing up at the Chubbly, willingly participating in having to eat the sh*tburgers the RF will feed them.

    • Normades says:

      I think the BRF never really wanted them there but was playing the PR that they did, and at the end of the day I thought H&M would make an appearance. Now I think both parties are “too busy” to even pretend. I think the email was a save the date and they won’t get a real invitation and even if they did it would be a half-assed one with no assurance of security. So I think they’ll be staying home now. Good.

  13. Amy Bee says:

    Andersen doesn’t know anything but I agree with Kaiser, if Harry was at Frogmore it would have been leaked already.

  14. Cherrolsdaughter says:

    Maybe his friends in California provided him a safe place in London. After all Tyler did make sure they were protected before.

  15. QuiteContrary says:

    Says Andersen: “William appears to have thrown up his hands in disgust.”

    LOL. When is William not disgusted, raging, throwing hands, incandescent? It must be exhausting to be around him.

    • Feeshalori says:

      Yeah, William likes to throw his hands around especially at his brother.

      • BothSidesNow says:

        Yup, the constant state of rage and anger that man-child keeps inside of himself must make his unpleasant to be around, for everyone including his own children.

        Bullyiam is angry about the fact that he wasn’t able to force H&M to Africa as opposed to how well they executed their departure. H&M are beating WanK at his own game.

  16. Janice Hill says:

    The friend would have to be a Tyler Perry type who has a secured home with lots of security. If not, a hotel with security, restricted access and secret entrances would be safer. Lots of people in London have big-time security. It shouldn’t be hard to find for someone like Harry.

  17. Charfromdarock says:

    Maybe he’s staying at Auntie Fergie’s townhouse. 🤷‍♀️

    P.s. I’m glad no one know for sure and hope it stays that way.

  18. Monlette says:

    William is starting to remind me of Tahani from The Good Place, with Harry as his Kamila. Here is how I imagine a cocktail party with them might go:
    Harry: So then I said to Tyler, “I am pretty sure that is Elton’s umbrella”!
    Crowd laughs.
    Partygoer: William,you hobnob with your share of A listers. You must have plenty of droll stories as well.
    William: (Already laughing) This one time. I made Becks and Posh choose between me and Harry to attend their son’s wedding. And I didn’t even go!
    Awkward silence.
    Harry: Anyway, let me tell you about the time I accidentally photobombed one of M’s calls to Serena in my underwear.
    Crowd starts laughing again while William bites his lip in rage and frustration..

  19. Netski says:

    Cowmilla is the ultimate schemer! Who else would go from side chick to Queen? She put in some work!

  20. Cassie says:

    Hoping Harry is home safely now out of that shithole.
