During the Duke of Sussex's stay in his native England, he paid a friend a visit - but he appears to have gotten himself confused while doing so.

According to one family, Prince Harry knocked on the wrong door three times before finding his pal's home.

A snap captured by a Ring doorbell shows the prince talking on the phone as he stands at a door.

One resident said that their housekeeper had answered the door for Harry, but had not recognised him, The Sun reported.

'We were shocked to see it was him on the camera. We only really noticed once neighbours started talking,' they said.

Neighbours were left baffled at the royal sighting, with many finding it 'odd' that the prince did not know where he was going.

'I don't think many people would just walk down a road knocking on doors, let alone if you don't feel safe,' one neighbour said.

The Prince reportedly knocked on two houses before finding the right one with one neighbour observing they were at 'completely opposite ends of the road'.
