Prince Harry latest: ‘Police turned up at his home to inform him of Prince Philip’s death’

He apparently ignored his calls...

In latest Prince Harry news, US police reportedly arrived at the Duke’s home to inform him of Prince Philip’s death.

According to a new report, the US Embassy frantically tried to get in touch with the Duke of Sussex as he slept.

However, their calls went unanswered. As a result, they apparently reached out to the police in Montecito, California.

TMZ reports that the Sheriff’s Department obliged, and an officer turned up outside the gates of Prince Harry’s luxury home.

Prince Harry’s touching tribute

This included: “My grandfather was a man of service, honour and great humour. He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm—and also because you never knew what he might say next.”

Then continuing: “To me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ‘til the end.”

Reports stated that Harry received a “frosty” reception from senior royals at Philip’s funeral.

Indeed Harry admitted in a recent interview that he was “afraid” to attend.

Speaking to The Associated Press, the former senior royal said: “I was worried about it, I was afraid.”

But he went on to explain that now thanks to therapy, he has better coping mechanisms when it comes to anxiety.

Harry added: “It definitely made it a lot easier, but the heart still pounds.”
