Daily Mirror<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\nBut one day, things took an unexpected turn when Wharfe realized Harry was no longer where he was supposed to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cKen sort of decided, \u2018Actually, I better check in where he is.\u2019 And [Harry] was actually across the road, he was slightly older than 5 or 7, and he had actually gone out of the gates and across the road to a record shop,\u201d Ray shared. \u201cKen was aghast at this and had to go and get him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wharfe himself has also detailed the alarming moment, telling GB News he thought he\u2019d get fired over what happened after Harry developed a \u201csense of boredom\u201d and decided he wanted to be \u201centertained.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\nPrince Harry\u2019s brother, Prince William, \u201cwas always jealous of his personality because Harry was always the fun maker, the entertainer,\u201d Princess Diana\u2019s former royal bodyguard Ken Wharfe told GB News in 2022. By: ZUMAPRESS.com \/ MEGA<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Wharfe recalled giving Harry a task \u2014 for example, go to the palace garage to speak to a chauffeur \u2014 after which he would get another job to do. \u201cSo we did that four or five times \u2014 gone to the chef, gone to the flower seller whatever,\u201d Wharfe explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the end [Harry] said, \u2018Can I go down and see Aunt Jane?’\u201d<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s sister Lady Jane Fellowes<\/strong> lived just outside Kensington Palace. Wharfe agreed that Harry could go see her so long as he phoned on his way back to the palace.<\/p>\n\u201cAbout 20 minutes later, I rang Jane and said, \u2018Have you sent Harry back yet?\u2019 She said, \u2018I sent him back 10 minutes ago,’\u201d Wharfe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the quickest run back I had ever done,\u201d Wharfe added, explaining he thankfully found the prince before long.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere he was, this small kid stood outside Tower Records with my radio.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s claim<\/h2>\n The story has resurfaced as critics revisit Harry\u2019s accounts of his upbringing, including comments he made during his 2021 CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey<\/strong> a year after he and wife Meghan Markle<\/strong> left their roles as senior working royals and moved to the Duchess of Sussex\u2019s native California.<\/p>\nIn the televised sit-down, Harry implied his childhood was so constrained by media scrutiny that he missed out on everyday experiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe highlight for me 1775851563 is sticking [my son, Prince Archie<\/strong>] on the back of a bicycle in his little baby seat and taking him on bike rides, which is something I was never able to do when I was young,\u201d Harry said. \u201cI can seat him on the back, and he\u2019s got his arms out, and he\u2019s like, \u2018Whoa.’\u201d<\/p>\nBut Ray pushed back on that narrative on the \u201cRoyal Exclusive\u201d podcast, using the Kensington Palace incident as an example. \u201cSo this, I\u2019m reined in, I\u2019m a poor child, you know, he hasn\u2019t got a clue what it was like, he really hasn\u2019t,\u201d Ray said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
