Prince Harry ‘wants his old life back’

Meghan Markle has been left “frustrated” by the Duke of Sussex’s refusal to let go of a key chapter from his former world.

Prince Harry’s desire to return to the United Kingdom to “get his old life back” has left Meghan Markle “frustrated”, according to a Hollywood expert.

The key part of his former world Prince Harry “longs” to see are his mates back in London, claimed entertainment guru Mark Boardman.

“Prince Harry’s social life has notably shifted over the past decade,” Mark told OK! magazine.

“He appears to have distanced himself from his college friends and lacks a permanent UK residence.”

“During his visits to London, he typically resides in hotels and avoids public appearances. Undoubtedly, Prince Harry longs for his old friendships.

Mr Boardman added that Prince Harry’s refusal to move on after they left royal life in 2020 is causing tension with Ms Markle, who has started a new chapter in California.

“Meghan is frustrated that Harry wants his old life back,” Boardman said.

“Meghan loves Harry, but she wants to bring out the better side in him. And she’s quite clear on the roles that they should take together and they are trying to work better together on projects.”

“People are eager to witness a transformed Harry, rather than a return to his previous partying lifestyle, which could lead to undesirable media attention,” he added.

While Prince Harry rejected an olive branch from King Charles to visit him in Scotland during his previous visit to the UK, Boardman said his childhood friends continued to pull at the Duke’s young heart.

“London is where all of Harry’s real friends are. Everyone they know in Hollywood, they aren’t his friends,” he said.

“Ultimately, Meghan wants Harry to be by her side to support her, to look after the kids and to get his life back on track. And anything going backwards is going to take away from that.”
