One royal expert believes that Prince Harry is deeply uncomfortable with life in the US.
It’s been almost five years since Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals and relocated overseas.
But one observer is convinced that in all that time, Harry still has not grown accustomed to his SoCal lifestyle.

Prince Harry Is ‘Flying Solo,’ Expert Believes
It’s no secret that Harry and Meghan have been appearing separately much more often in recent months.
Most royal watchers believe that the move is part of a calculated rebranding effort on the Sussexes’ part.
According to recent polls, Harry and Meghan are less popular than ever.
And they may feel that they can rebound if they establish themselves in the public’s eye as individuals, rather than just two halves of a couple.

Despite recent career setbacks, Meghan is not giving up on her dream of becoming her generation’s Martha Stewart.
And royal journalist Phil Dampier believes the situation has left Harry longing for his old life.

“Meghan is concentrating on her American Rivera Orchard lifestyle brand which is dependent on Netflix, while Harry has been flying solo with his charity work,” Dampier recently told Fabulous magazine (via The Sun).
“He clearly feels a need to return to the UK and Africa for various causes like the Wellchild Charity and Sentebale in Lesotho, and I think he wants to look up old friends he has drifted apart from.”

Prince Harry is ‘Uncomfortable’ With Meghan, Says Journalist
“Sometimes in the US, he looks uncomfortable or just plain bored when he is out and about with Meghan at showbiz or sporting events,” Dampier continues.
He further claims that the Duke of Sussex often appeared out of sorts during his recent travels with Meghan.
“And during their trips this year to Colombia and Nigeria he looked like a bolt-on accessory while she seemed to be the dominant partner.

But despite this discomfort, Dampier believes it’s unlikely that Harry and Meghan will return to the UK.
“Meghan is not popular,” he says, adding:
“She doesn’t want to come back and they are going their own ways, to some extent.”
