But The Sun on Sunday can reveal he took an 'unthinkable' security risk on a lads' evening with posh pal Lord Charles Vivian last May.
A Deliveroo driver arrived at his friend's £8million townhouse in London's Chelsea with food, despite royals and high-profile figures usually avoiding such deliveries for safety reasons.
It comes after Harry's incendiary attack on his family after the
Harry, who quit for the US in 2020, said: 'The other side have won in keeping me unsafe.'

'Unthinkable'
Princess Diana's former protection officer Ken Wharfe told The Sun on Sunday last night: 'It's unbelievable that such a high-profile person, who considers themself to be such a high-security risk, would allow themselves to have a Deliveroo driver arrive at a house with no idea of who they are and what they might be carrying in their bag.
'It's just unthinkable.'
He added: 'If he is still able to go to friends' houses and allow Deliveroo to turn up at the door and then have the audacity to moan about his lack of security that is a very unintelligent thing to do.'
It is believed Harry wanted his International Protected Persons status reinstated after it was removed when he and Meghan quit as working royals in 2020.

That would have meant foreign governments coughing up for his security whenever he visited.
After the court decision, he moaned of his family: 'Not only did they decide to remove my security in the UK, but they also signalled to every government around the world not to protect us.'
Obsessive Harry is stubborn & always thinks he's right... security row shows Charles can't trust him, royal expert says
Harry, 40, visited Britain at least three times last year, including a dash to his dad after his cancer diagnosis in February and a trip to his uncle's funeral in Norfolk in August with brother William.
On May 8, he attended a 10-year anniversary event for his Invictus Games at St Paul's Cathedral. Two of his US security guards sat inside. He then visited Lord Vivian's home that evening.

Harry and his team were offered the chance to stay at Buckingham Palace, where he would have had full royal cops' protection.
You can't say you can't come to the UK because it's so dangerous and then have anyone turning up at the door with a takeaway.

But instead - along with a private US bodyguard - he opted for the luxury of the five-star Coworth Park resort, near Windsor.
Harry told the BBC that he 'can't see a world' where he could bring Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet to the UK.

It is not believed the Court of Appeal was aware of the takeaway delivery amid his pleas that he was unsafe in the UK.
Dai Davies, former head of Scotland Yard's Royal Protection Command, said: 'You can't say you can't come to the UK because it's so dangerous and then have anyone turning up at the door with a takeaway.
'It's indicative of this nonsense that he doesn't feel safe.
'If he was that concerned about his safety he would stay in one of the Royal Palaces while he's here.'

MY VIEW: MATT WILKINSON
ANGRY Harry is back and he has set doused the olive branch tree in petrol and set it on fire.
There were a few brief hours yesterday when mood music from the palace was towards potential reconciliation.
The King was genuinely privately frustrated and upset that Harry and his supporters had spread the myth that he didn't care about the safety of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
It would have been constitutionally improper for the King to intervene in the case, despite what Harry and his clueless legal team believed.
But with a four-year court struggle done and dusted the palace had hoped the verdict whichever want it went meant the Court of Montecito could move forwards in a constructive manner.
While the door had been shut, as the King did not want to talk to his son during the court case for obvious prejudicial reasons, it had not been locked and the key not thrown away.
But in a few short hours the angry Prince clearly given terrible advice by a team that won't say 'no', failed to read the room.
You cannot even blame the impetuous of youth. This man is 40-year-old who behaves like a toddler when he doesn't get his own way.
One source told me half-jokingly that they would have paid for Harry's security just to stop him doing that BBC interview.
The Royal Family succeeds when there is no drama or when the drama is at least controllable. But when Harry is angry he is out of control.
It is yet again Harry who brings that unneeded drama to the doors of Buckingham Palace.
We were told outbursts like this were a thing of the past.
This has Oprah Winfrey-vibes. A loose cannon errant son making unfabricated claims with a weak interviewer who fails to challenge a wild speaking prince. And a stunned palace impotent to respond to every single accusation.
The Royals have tried everything with immature Harry since 2016. They started by giving him what he wants, then sending him to his room, even kicking him out the house, and finally for the last few years giving the silent treatment in the hope by ignoring him he cries himself out and grows up.
Just when there was an opportunity for Harry to behave like an adult Prince of the Realm and show some class he regresses to spoilt young brat he may truly be at heart.
There has been a saying going the rounds that there are very few olive branches left on the olive branch tree.
After summoning the BBC to vent his fury the olive tree is on fire and burning out of control. It will take a long time to see if anything can be rescued from the embers.
It is not the only occasion where Harry has appeared relaxed about his safety.
He flagged down a taxi to attend a court case against the Daily Mail in 2023.
He was not compelled by the court to attend.
In a two-day hearing at the Court of Appeal last month, Harry's barristers said his 'life was at stake' as they

Mr Wharfe said Harry would be fully protected if he brought his family to the UK.
He said: 'If Harry brings his wife and children here there is no way they would allow any harm done, so they would give them the protection they deserve.
'With absolute certainty I can say they would not allow him or his wife and children to be subjected to anything that dangerous. And he knows that.'

He added of his legal fight: 'He has made a terrible mistake and was ill-advised to pursue it.'

DELIVERING THREAT TO SECURITY
By Emily-Jane Heap
ROYALS and high-profile figures avoid having takeaways delivered to their homes for safety reasons, according to experts.
Ex-PM Boris Johnson said he was barred from ordering food to No10 as the 'security was too tight' - amid fears weapons or bombs could sneak in.
The Prince and Princess of Wales admitted sending a member of staff to pick up a Chinese or curry for them, rather than ordering it directly to Kensington Palace.
Prince William said in 2017: 'We tend to go pick it up — not ourselves.'
Princess Diana's former protection officer Ken Wharfe said of Harry's Deliveroo arrival: 'For someone so worried about his security it's nonsense.
'He can't be that concerned if he is going to a friend's house and allows the risk of someone from Deliveroo who he doesn't know turning up.'

EastEnders star suspended by BBC after disabled slur on Strictly set
A video emerged of the actor, who plays Jay Brown on the soap, using the term to describe the people of Blackpool, the town where the show was being filmed, The Sun on Sunday first reported. Borthwick is said to have made the offensive remark on a phone video while the Strictly cast were at Blackpool Tower Ballroom last November. This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC BBC spokesperson A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC. 'We have robust processes in place for this.' Warren Kirwan, media manager at disability equality charity Scope, said: 'Attitudes and language like this are never acceptable. 'It's not just ignorant and hurtful to disabled people, it has wider consequences. 'Negative attitudes hold disabled people back in all areas of life, from getting a job to shopping on the high street. Mr Borthwick needs to reflect on what he said, educate himself and do better Warren Kirwan, disability equality charity Scope 'Mr Borthwick needs to reflect on what he said, educate himself and do better. 'We hope he takes the opportunity to get to know the reality of disabled people's lives.' Borthwick won the Strictly 2023 Christmas special with Nancy Xu, and won the best actor gong at the Inside Soap Awards in September that year, with the show recognised with the best storyline for Loving And Losing Lola, about character Lola Pearce-Brown's brain tumour diagnosis. ADVERTISEMENT As part of the storyline, Borthwick, as Lola's husband Jay, and Emma Barton, as Honey Mitchell, ran the London Marathon in character in honour of Lola after her death. His suspension comes after Wynne Evans last week said he had been dropped by the BBC, following an apology saying that he used 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. The Welsh opera singer, 53, known for the insurance advertisements, will no longer be a BBC Radio Wales presenter, he announced on May 30. Earlier this year, he apologised for language that he called 'inappropriate and unacceptable' after The Mail On Sunday reported that Evans was heard making a remark to a woman in a video filmed during the Strictly launch event. It is understood he was given a warning over the remark by tour producers. In January, he said: 'I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. 'I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. 'Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.' The singer, who performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and also won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef, told The Sun on Sunday earlier this month that the Strictly comment was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast but was a nickname for fellow contestant Borthwick. He told the paper: 'I didn't see the statement, Old Spit-roast Boy was a nickname for Jamie Borthwick. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not any of these things.' Evans added: 'And so I went, 'I'm so sorry'. And that was taken as a formal apology, so the press team issued a statement. I didn't see it. 'When I read the apology within the context of the story as it had been written, I was absolutely horrified.' The Strictly tour saw contestants of the most recent series return to the dancefloor, including Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, actress Sarah Hadland, JLS singer JB Gill, The X Factor winner Shayne Ward and Gladiators star Montell Douglas. They toured the country alongside Strictly judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, performing in cities including Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and London.
