Prince Harry Used These ‘Secret Names’ To Go Undercover Before Marrying Meghan

Prince Harry reportedly used different names to go undercover when he partied with his friends.

When he was younger, the Duke of Sussex reportedly used a number of secret codes so he can retain his privacy when he is out with his friends. Before Prince Harry met Meghan Markle, he was dubbed "Party Prince" because he loved to celebrate and have fun with his pals. However, it was difficult for the royal prince to go unnoticed so he reportedly used a different moniker.

According to Bill McLoughlin, a journalist for Express, Prince Harry made up three nicknames for himself: “Gromit,” “Potter” and “Flash.” At one point, he also used the name “Rob” in public.

Baroness Jessica Heydel recalled the moment she was introduced to Prince William’s brother. According to her, Prince Harry was introduced to her as “Rob,” and she just sat there thinking she had met Prince Harry. Their encounter didn’t turn into a friendship because she was preoccupied with thinking about the royal’s name.

When Prince Harry married Markle, the couple each gained another codename. According to Debbie White, Prince Harry and Markle were known as “David Stevens” and “Davina Scott” to the royal aides. Their secret codenames with the initials “DS” are a nod to their official royal titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Using secret codenames is not unique to Prince Harry and Markle because all the members of the Firm usually have one. Prince William and Kate Middleton were also known as “Danny Collins” and “Daphne Clark” in their aide’s contact list. This is reportedly for security purposes, in case the contact details fall into the wrong hands.

In related news, Prince Harry got upset and angry at one point during his royal visit to Morocco with Markle. In this clip, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were testing some local cuisine when Prince Harry suddenly lost his cool.

He walked over and asked a cameraman to move away. He shoved the camera lens backward to make the man back off with a stern expression on his face.

It turned out that the cameraman hit the head of one of the children presenting the food. Prince Harry smiled and gave the child a pat on the arm after seeing that the kid was just fine.​
