During Prince Harry’s recent visit to the UK, a known stalker reportedly made two alarming attempts to approach him, prompting swift intervention from his private security team. The woman, described as a “fixated individual,” was allegedly “body-blocked” by security personnel after she tried to get near the Duke of Sussex on two separate occasions within a matter of days.
The Duke of Sussex visited the UK last month for a series of engagements, including a meeting with his father, King Charles, marking their first face-to-face interaction in nearly two years. Additionally the prince attended several charity events during his stay, including WellChild Awards – as he is the charity’s Patron.
However, during his stay, a female stalker managed to enter a “secure zone” at a hotel the Duke was visiting in London for the WellChild awards ceremony, according to the Telegraph.
Just two days later, the same woman was spotted just “a stone’s throw” away from the Duke during his visit to Imperial College London’s Centre for Blast Injury Studies.
A member of Harry’s private security team reportedly “body-blocked” the woman to stop her from getting any closer, the Mirror reports.
This woman has 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 when the couple visited the country back in 2024.
Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior working members of the Royal Family in January 2020. Following their departure, the couple were informed that they would no longer be entitled to the full-time police protection typically provided to royals.

Instead, they were offered a “bespoke” security arrangement, requiring them to give 30 days’ notice ahead of any planned visits to the UK. Each trip would then be individually assessed to determine potential threat levels and whether official protection would be deemed necessary.
Harry’s appeal over his UK security arrangements was dismissed by the Court of Appeal in May. Following the verdict, he stated in a television interview that he “can’t see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK.”
This past Saturday, Meghan was spotted attending a Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week, showing her support for her friend, fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.
Meghan announced her arrival in Paris via an Instagram story, where she was seen sporting white wide-leg trousers and a blazer from the collection.
