Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now living the lives that they wanted in the United States, but the Duke of Sussex may be in for a culture shock as he begins his new life in America. But before all these things happened, Dr Jane Goodall revealed the 35-year-old royal seemed to hint his plan to step away from royal life long before they dropped the bombshell announcement in January.
When the famed primatologist visited Prince Harry and his family last summer, she recalled a telling moment that the sixth in line to the throne made when they were at Frogmore Cottage. She told Daily Mail that when their talk ended, the Duchess of Sussex came in to listen with Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, who was very sleepy he didn't want to be held by anyone other than his mom.
However, Jane Goodall tried to hug Archie, who would turn one next month, and made him do the "Queen's wave." "I suppose he'll have to learn this," she told Harry. He then responded with quite telling response, saying that his little kid would "not grow up like that."
At the time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were still months away from dropping their bombshell announcement. But, another telling sign that they were already preparing for their departure was when they refused to give Archie a royal title, People noted.
On March 31, the Sussexes officially stepped back from their royal duties and relocated to Los Angeles from Vancouver Islands. Now, it is a big question for everyone how Prince Harry will handle the transition from being a British prince, who is often in the spotlight, to having a more relaxing life in Southern California.
According to Town & Country, Lady Julie Montagu, an American who got married to a British aristocrat, revealed Prince Harry might be more open when he stays longer in the U.S. She admitted that they are "very emotionally open," so he might be able to talk about his feelings more, especially about the death of his mother, Princess Diana, when he was only 12 years old.
But, if there is one thing that the Brits have over the Americans, it is their history. Prince Harry will surely want to retain the heritage of his country and family and eventually pass it down to his son. It will may take some time for them to balance everything out, from their culture to other things, and for Meghan Markle's husband to adapt the American life, but Montagu believes they will undoubtedly make it.
