According to royal expert Tom Quinn, Prince Harry is reportedly experiencing homesickness and a sense of isolation from his friends in the UK, who reportedly avoid visiting him due to their disapproval of his wife, Meghan Markle.
Currently residing in Montecito, California, with Meghan and their two children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, Harry is said to be missing his homeland. Recent events, such as the wedding of his longtime friend Hugh Grosvenor, where Harry and Meghan notably did not attend, underscored this distance. Reports suggest they skipped the event to avoid causing a disturbance, despite Harry’s brother, Prince William, serving as an usher.
Harry’s last visit to England in May for the Invictus Games anniversary did not include plans to reconnect with friends who symbolize his pre-Meghan life, which he appears intent on moving past. Quinn also noted that Harry’s depiction of his military service in his memoir “Spare” allegedly left some friends feeling betrayed.
Moreover, there is a reported rift stemming from Harry’s reinvention and Meghan’s influence, with friends perceiving a transformation that does not resonate with his family or old acquaintances. Earlier this year, Harry formalized his American residency, severing ties with his British residency backdated to their departure from Frogmore Cottage in June 2023.
Recent indications suggest Harry is contemplating property investments in the UK, hinting at a potential return. Grant Harrold, former butler to King Charles, suggested that Harry may see this as a necessary step for his well-being.
Meanwhile, Meghan reportedly feels a sense of rejection from the UK and is channeling her focus into her Hollywood career. These dynamics highlight a complex interplay of personal and public perceptions surrounding the couple’s choices and their impact on relationships both in the UK and abroad.
