Five years after he stepped down from royal duties, Prince Harry has been struggling with feelings of loneliness in the United States.
Express reports that Richard Fitzwilliams, a specialist on royal affairs, commented about Prince Harry's situation.
According to the specialist, Prince Harry's condition is primarily the result of his own initiative.
He stated, "Harry is in exile - he chose it," underlining the isolation that comes with his decision to distance himself from the royal family.
The emotional toll that this decision has put on Prince Harry was commented upon by Fitzwilliams, who stated, "It's lonely, and he will undoubtedly miss his friends and family."
As a result of the fact that King Charles, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and other members of the royal family have other pressing priorities, he pointed out that there does not appear to be any hint of reconciliation within the royal family.
In the midst of adjusting to his new life in the United States, Prince Harry is currently facing a difficult situation as a result of this ongoing strain.
The expert also commented on Prince Harry's military links, which have been an important part of his identity and were described in his memoir, "Spare."
According to Geo News, it was indicated by Fitzwilliams that Prince Harry most certainly has a desire for a "hybrid"relationship with the royal family, one in which he would be able to fulfill some royal responsibilities while simultaneously pursuing his own personal ambitions.
The fact that he made the statement, "I think Meghan is undoubtedly the dominant person in their relationship," suggests that Prince Harry's goals may be influenced by the perspective that his wife holds.
Both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to be present at the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games, which will take place on February 8 at BC Place in Vancouver.
In the beginning, Prince Harry intended to go to the event by himself; however, this shift indicates that they have recommitted themselves to working together in their public engagements.
This change, according to a source close to the pair, is a reflection of their desire to collaborate more closely with one another, particularly in light of the fact that they have similar interests and initiatives.
While they are getting ready for the Invictus Games, it is still unknown how Prince Harry will manage to strike a balance between his own aspirations and his connections to the royal family.
This event may give Prince Harry with the opportunity to reconnect with his military heritage while also showing the couple's collaborative work in helping veterans and promoting mental health awareness. The couple's involvement in this event may also enable them to showcase their efforts.
Business Times has reached out to Prince Harry's representatives for comments.
