Prince Harry's female 'stalker' found hiding in toilets moments before he arrived at event

Prince Harry's female 'stalker' was found hiding in the toilets just 20 minutes before the Duke arrived at an event in London last month. Harry was attending an event at The Royal Lancaster Hotel, West London, ahead of the WellChild Awards on September 8. The woman was removed from the hotel after suspicions were raised. Security was alerted after the woman was heard making strange comments about Harry in the women's toilets of the hotel.

She was then pictured next to his car. Sources said that she made another appearance two days later when she had to be body blocked as Harry left an engagement at Imperial College's Centre for Blast Injury Studies. A source revealed: "There was no police presence or close protection. It was left to two staffers from his office to intervene. This time, they got lucky."

It is believed that the woman is on a list of known people for Harry's security team. She had followed the Prince and his wife, Meghan, on their trip to Nigeria last year.

It is believed that the woman has mental health problems and is "fixated" on Prince Harry.

The Prince, who is not a working royal, lost his legal challenge against the Home Office over his security arrangements in the UK. It comes after the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) decided that he should receive fewer protections following his step down as a senior member of the royal family.
