Prince Harry is said to be bored of his life in America and lonely. This is one of the purported reasons why he and his wife Meghan Markle are set to move back to the UK later this month after years in California after they left their roles as working members of the Royal Family in January 2020. It is understood that this will be for an "extended period" and there will be no change to the couple's role and status as private individuals and non-working members of the Firm.

Now, it has been reported that Harry is said to have been “desperately lonely". ”He doesn’t really have any real friends in the area except for (fellow polo player) Nacho (Figueras), and Nacho travels constantly for polo matches,” a "friend" told News Nation. They added: “He is still very close with the ‘band of brothers’ who were at his wedding — particularly Guy Pelley and Mark Dyer, but they live in England, and the time zones are so different it’s very hard to talk regularly."

The prince apparently hangs out a lot with his bodyguards.

The couple have lived in California for some years, and many believed that they would never return to the UK.

An insider have revealed that the 44-year-old will likely be "furious" that Harry is relocating back to the UK with Meghan Markle and their two children this month.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have lived in the US since 2020, are set to relocate to the UK with their two children later this month.

Her appearance is her first since the shock announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to return to the UK within days.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked closely with both brothers until 2011, said the Duke of Sussex will have to work hard to regain Prince William's trust and may never do so.

The Duke of Sussex was joined by the likes of Sir Elton John, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, and Elizabeth Hurley to sue Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over allegations of unlawful information-gathering.
