London ยท 2004 to 2007

Prince Harry and Meghan made their first joint public engagements since moving back to the UK in Nottingham on Thursday 15 October 2026, visiting three local charities. So here is Harry in London in his early twenties, from my archive. Pangaea in Piccadilly in October 2004, the Sugar Hut in Fulham on Easter Monday 2005, the Cuckoo Club in January 2007 and Boujis in South Kensington in December 2007.

PANGAEA, OCTOBER 2004. Prince Harry, then 20, leaves Pangaea nightclub in Piccadilly in the early hours of 21 October 2004, with photographers crowded round his car. The night was widely reported. Clarence House said the Prince was hit in the face by a camera as photographers crowded round him getting into a car, and that a photographer's lip was cut as the camera was pushed away. The photographer involved gave a different account. Police said at the time that no complaint had been made. Here is the scrum at the car door, cameras up close.
