A ‘homesick’ Prince Harry is said to be looking to buy a new British home.

US journalist Kinsey Schofield claims the Duke of Sussex is eyeing properties in his native country, which would allow him to visit more frequently and make amends with his family.

Harry currently lives in Montecito, California, with his wife, Meghan Markle and their kids — Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

“I hear that Harry is both content with his new lifestyle and homesick,” Schofield told Fox News Digital.

“It just depends on the day. I’m sure Harry could get homesick, and we know that he is prone to wearing his heart on his sleeve.

“Meghan has likely permitted him to try to establish an additional residence in the UK if that will make him happy, but I doubt she has any desire to participate in the process or visit.”

Schofield alleged, however, that Harry “won’t make any drastic or financial moves until he settles his security issues.

King Charles’ former butler, Grant Harrold, recently told the New York Post that Harry had reportedly been eyeing properties in his home country.

“It’s something that he’s wanted and been thinking about. Now he’s probably made the decision that’s what he wants,” Harrold said.

“Not having a home in the UK was probably a joint decision initially, but as time goes on, people’s views and decisions can change.”

Harrold added, “You’ve only got one family, and this means he’s suddenly realised that.”

Harry, who has a strained relationship with his family, rushed to London in February for a very brief visit after the King was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer.

The Prince has seen his father sporadically since he quit royal duties in 2020 and moved to California with his wife, citing what they said were unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media.

The royal has since detailed his rocky relationship with his family in TV interviews, a documentary and his memoir, “Spare.”

Shortly after his last quick trip to London, Harry told US TV show “Good Morning America” that he thought his father’s illness could help bring his family closer.

Earlier this year, Harry renounced his British residency and claimed America as his home in new paperwork, in which he declared that his “new country/state” was the “United States.”

The move was backdated to June 29, 2023 — the same day he and the “Suits” alum officially vacated Frogmore Cottage, which left them with no UK residence in their names.

“She feels rejected by the UK and that does not sit well with her,” Schofield said.

“I don’t even think she has any desire to win them over again. Meghan is totally focused on winning over the elite in Hollywood. With jam. And dog treats,” she said, referring to Markle’s new line of products for her lifestyle label, American Riviera Orchard.
