Prince Harry makes a cheeky dash, telling fans "I’m so late" but this hurried exit may mask a strategically packed schedule.

During a public appearance in London where he stopped for selfies and greetings, the Duke of Sussex surprised on lookers by abruptly concluding with, “I have to go.”

As he turned to make his speedy exit, onlookers called out, “We love Meghan!"

His comment came as his next public engagement isn't scheduled until 6 p.m., prompting speculation that he may be squeezing in a much anticipated reunion behind the scenes.

This moment comes amid a broader, goodwill laden UK visit. On September 9, Harry’s plans were delayed by around 45 minutes due to heavy road congestion caused by a Tube strike since he's no longer granted a police escort for royal engagements

Despite these hiccups, he spent several heartfelt hours at Nottingham’s Community Recording Studio.

There, he pledged a substantial personal donation of £1.1 million to BBC Children in Need, supporting grassroots efforts tackling youth violence, including knife crime

Meanwhile, Prince William was holding his own solo engagement at a youth music-focused initiative in Lambeth, highlighting their increasingly parallel journeys
