Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had enough of the monarchy and chose to cut ties with it in 2020. The Duke thought that moving to the States would be the perfect escape. After all, sunny California weather, a large mansion, and a new beginning could make anybody think this way. But the reality in Montecito is far from perfect. What’s the matter? Find out.
Prince Harry: Harry Feels Like A Loner in the US
It’s been five years since Prince Harry turned his back on the royal family. What good did it serve? According to some reports, he is feeling more alone than ever. The Sun reveals that Harry barely talked to his family these days. The reason? Meghan Markle is too busy with her lifestyle brand and upcoming podcast.
Consequently, the US-based royal spends much of his time at home with their kids. We bet he misses his old lifestyle in the UK, rubbing shoulders with officials and soldiers. An insider revealed that Harry was a spare to William, but guess what? “He increasingly looks like a spare to Meghan—a situation that’s far from ideal,” they added.
The couple owns lavish properties like a $7.2 million investment in Portugal, but life isn’t a complete paradise. Harry misses his family in the UK and catching up with his old mates over a casual pint. Additionally, most of his social interactions now involve “the husbands of Meghan’s friends.”
Even some of his old British folks have left Harry’s side after his public criticisms of the British monarchy. Plus, the Invictus Games founder was close to his cousin and last royal ally, Princess Eugenie. However, she has also distanced herself, and the media spotted her with Piers Morgan, one of the Sussexes’ harshest critics.
How Is Harry Doing Professionally?
On the professional front, Harry recently stepped down from his HIV and AIDS charity, Sentebale, after allegations of workplace bullying. He founded the organisation in memory of Princess Diana, and it was his last connection with his royal past. Furthermore, his Netflix show about Polo flopped while the other documentary projects remained halted.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes have decided to pursue some separate projects this year. Markle’s roster is filled with the developments of her multiple ventures, and Harry has been making fewer public appearances lately. His cameo in Meghan’s Netflix special made people think they will work together as a team.
Despite all the odds, the Duke continues to be a loving dad to Archie and Lilibet. He wants to protect them from public scrutiny, while Meghan doesn’t mind the spotlight on their kids. Don’t miss out on more Prince Harry updates at Soap Opera Daily. Is Harry’s American dream turning into solitude?
