Prince Harry is reportedly feeling out of place and unhappy in California, according to sources who spoke to The Sun. He feels overshadowed by Meghan Markle during public appearances and isolated in their new life. To cope, Harry has been reaching out to old friends in the UK, seeking comfort and guidance.
One source told The Sun, “Harry is feeling more and more isolated in California, which is why he has been reconnecting with old friends back home. The Colombia trip also really highlighted how Meghan is comfortable stepping into the spotlight, while Harry cuts a very sulky, unhappy figure in the background.” The source added, “He wants to carve out a way back into royal life back in the UK and is seeking counsel from old friends and associates.”
Royal biographer Angela Levin echoed these sentiments, stating that Harry appears unhappy and sidelined by his wife. She pointed out that during trips to Colombia and Africa, Harry seemed ignored and excluded from conversations. Levin expressed surprise at Harry reaching out to former friends, suggesting a desire to reconnect with his family.
The Daily Mail reported that Harry is also consulting with former advisors in the UK, seeking guidance on navigating his return from the US. He is reportedly unhappy with the advice he has been receiving from his US-based team and hopes to find a path back to a more active role in the Royal Family.
While Harry seems determined to mend broken ties with his family, those close to him believe it may take time to heal the wounds caused by his departure from royal life.
