Experts are claiming that Prince Harry is experiencing a new reality check in his California life in the US. It stands in stark contrast to his old royal life, lived entirely under the public spotlight in Britain. The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, formally stepped down as senior members of the British royal family on March 31, 2020.
Royal experts say Prince Harry misses aspects of Britain while living in California with Meghan Markle
Prince Harry reportedly feels a pull back to Britain, even as he builds a life in California with Meghan Markle. The observation came from Dan Wakeford, founder of the pop culture newsletter Celebrity Intelligence.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Wakeford shared that sources told his newsletter that the Prince misses the U.K. and his former role. The celebrity media editor added that the Duke of Sussex continues to search for meaningful work in California.
“Harry particularly doesn’t love the life he has in America,” he revealed. “He misses his family, his friends and his former existence in the U.K. Sources say he would be content to downsize and have a smaller life instead of living on such a grand scale, but I think that is more Meghan [Markle]’s [style].”
Additionally, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams noted, “The problem is that Harry is without a proper role. He has the Invictus Games, yes, but I do think he misses aspects of life in the U.K. and the friends he has kept there. He has charities he supports there, and his mother is buried there. While he had a difficult week during his visit, the meeting with the king and his family was a positive.”
In response, Archewell, the organization that manages the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s office, spoke to the media outlet. The office stated, “It’s all unfounded speculation, of which we don’t comment.”
That said, Prince Harry has been working to mend family ties. Buckingham Palace confirmed that on July 10, the Sussexes and their children, Archie and Lilibet, were received by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House.
