Prince Harry reportedly misses his home country and feels isolated from his friends, who don’t visit because they dislike his wife, Meghan Markle, royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror on Saturday.
Harry lives in Montecito, California, with Meghan, 42, and their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
One of Harry’s longtime friends, Hugh Grosvenor, who is Archie’s godfather, got married in England last month. Harry and Meghan didn’t attend the wedding. A royal expert claimed the Sussexes skipped out on celebrations to avoid “disturbing everybody” at the soiree. Harry’s estranged brother, Prince William, served as an usher at the wedding.
Harry last visited England in May for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Quinn said Harry didn’t plan to see his friends because they remind him of his pre-Meghan life, which he prefers to avoid.
Quinn also claimed Harry’s friends feel “betrayed” by his portrayal of his military service in his memoir “Spare.”
Moreover, Quinn said Harry’s friends “don’t like Meghan” and blame her for changing him into “Harry the Hippy.”
“Harry has reinvented himself in a way that doesn’t work for his family or old friends,” the royal expert added.
Earlier this year, Harry renounced his British residency and declared America as his second home. This decision was backdated to June 29, 2023, the day he and Meghan officially vacated Frogmore Cottage, leaving them without a UK residence.
However, recent reports suggest Harry is looking for a new place to live in the UK.
King Charles’ former butler, Grant Harrold, told The Post that Harry has been considering properties in his home country.
“Harry has wanted this and has probably decided it’s what he needs,” Harrold said.
Meghan, meanwhile, reportedly feels “rejected” by the UK and is focused on her Hollywood career.
