Prince Harry engaged in ‘double take’ balloon fight with staff member

Prince Harry took one Royal butler by surprise during their first meeting.

The Duke of Sussex, who met former royal butler Grant Harold as a child, started a balloon fight in an amusing turn of events.

In his book, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life in Royal Service, Grant Harrold reveals: “I was in the kitchen one day, having a conversation with the chef, when someone appeared at the door and, without warning, threw a water balloon at me.”

Harrold explained: “I did a double take. Okay, I thought, so this is happening.”

The insider continued: “Prince Harry has just arrived home and I’m getting a water balloon thrown at me. Narrowly avoiding the first missile, I saw he was lining up another and instinctively dived into the larder at the back of the kitchen.”

“I spied a small window about the size of a picture frame, with a net covering to stop flies coming in. Scarcely believing what I was doing, I removed the netting and somehow managed to crawl out of the window and ended up outside,” he noted.
