Stalker came 'within yards' of Prince Harry during recent UK visit

A known stalker of Prince Harry was "body blocked" by private security during his recent UK visit after the "fixated individual" tried getting close to him on two separate occasions, it has been reported.

The Duke of Sussex travelled to the UK last month, met his father King Charles for the first time in almost two years, and attended a series of charity events. But during his visit, a female stalker entered a "secure zone" at a hotel visited by the Duke in London as he attended a WellChild awards ceremony, the Telegraph reports. Just two days later, the same woman was seen just "a stone's throw" from the duke when he visited Imperial CollegeLondon's Centre for Blast Injury Studies. A member of Harry's private security staff reportedly "body-blocked" the woman to prevent her from getting any closer.

The woman was found to have a history of following the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, having been identified as a "fixated individual" by Harry's personal protection team. She was even spotted in Nigeria during the couple's visit in 2024.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, announced they were stepping back as working members of the royal family in January 2020. The couple were then told that they would not be able to retain the full-time police protection granted to the royals, and would instead receive a "bespoke" security service, where they'd need to give 30 days' notice of any plans to travel to the UK, with each visit being assessed for threat levels and whether protection is needed.

In May, Harry lost his Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK and said, in the TV interview following the decision, he "can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK".

On Saturday, Meghan was pictured attending a Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week in support of her friend, the fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Meghan, shared the news of her arrival in Paris in an Instagram story, and was seen dressed in a white wide-leg trousers and a blazer from the collection.
