Prince Harry reportedly came almost face-to-face with his suspected stalker while visiting the UK.

The Duke of Sussex is thought to have twice walked past an obsessed woman during his visit to the UK last month.

The woman is said to have previously followed him and Meghan Markle halfway around the world.

The 41-year-old royal reportedly first came within a few feet of the woman on September 9 at a hotel in London where Harry attended the WellChild Awards, according to the Daily Mail.

The lack of police protection has become a sore point for the Duke after a row over his security arrangements.

Prince Harry lost his Court of Appeal challenge questioning the decision to withdraw his previous, full-level security when visiting the UK.

The full, publicly funded security protection was withdrawn after Harry and Meghan moved their family to the US in March 2020 and stopped being working senior royals.

Currently, full-time security is given to King Charles and Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children.

Despite the row, Harry and King Charles reunited last month after being estranged for more than a year.

The pair had tea at the king’s London residence, Clarence House, for about an hour.
