Prince Harry is reportedly struggling with feelings of isolation and frustration since his move to the United States, according to sources close to the Duke of Sussex.
As he approaches his 40th birthday in September, concerns have emerged about his emotional well-being.
An unnamed friend, described as “one of Harry’s oldest friends,” revealed to The UK Sunday Times that Harry has been struggling with feelings of loneliness, having been separated from his family and friends in the The UK.
The friend claimed, “He’s an angry boy,” and added.
“Things haven’t turned out how he wanted. I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more.” The report suggests that Prince Harry’s social circle has significantly diminished since his royal exit in 2020, further contributing to his sense of isolation. In his Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” Harry openly admitted, “I miss my friends… I’ve lost a few friends in this process.”
This sense of loss and isolation appears to have deepened, with the source adding that Harry’s once-close relationship with his brother, Prince William, has been
“shattered almost certainly beyond repair,” and his bond with his father, King Charles, is “strained to breaking point.”
The challenges Harry faces in adjusting to life in America have raised concerns about his mental health.
Another source, who has known Harry since his teenage years, remarked on the difficulties of forging meaningful friendships in a new environment.
“He has ended up isolated from his family and most of his old friends in an environment where your friendships are not like the ones you forged as a young man,” the source noted. The friend further reflected on Harry’s current situation, saying, “I can’t imagine that gilded exile in California is where he wanted to end up.”
These revelations highlight the importance of checking in on loved ones, regardless of their status or position in society.
Prince Harry’s experience shows, that even those who seem to have enviable lives can struggle with feelings of loneliness and disconnection. It’s a reminder that mental health challenges can affect anyone and that consistent support from friends and family is crucial to ensuring well-being.
