Both times, palace and private security staff moved swiftly to intervene and ensure Harry’s safety.
According to The Telegraph, the woman was already familiar to Harry’s security team. She appeared on a list of “fixated individuals” compiled by a private intelligence company that supports his personal protection detail. The same woman had previously followed him to Nigeria, where he visited earlier this year with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
Officials said that while the incidents were “unsettling,” there was no direct contact between the woman and the prince.
