Prince Harry was once a valued member of the Royal Family. However, after marrying American Meghan Markle and opting to leave the monarchy in 2020, things have drastically changed for the prince. Harry and Meghan left the UK and moved to California, where they are currently raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet. Despite Harry’s very strong ties to the UK and the fact that his entire family is engrained in the history and fabric of the country, he’s ready to leave it all behind. He’s now made a very public declaration that some believe is a way to get further digs in at his estranged family members.
Prince Harry may always be entwined with the Royal Family and the United Kingdom. However, he’s now claiming that the United States is his official home. In documents obtained by The Daily Mail, the Duke of Sussex states that his “New Country” is now the USA.
Prince Harry Calls USA His Official Home Country
Although Harry has made a new home in the United States, he and Meghan Markle reportedly still want their children to know about their UK roots. The prince previously revealed that he considers the UK his home. However, he no longer feels safe having his family. The revelation comes after he was denied Royal Family protection and security while in the country.
“The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US. That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil,” he said in a written statement, per Page Six.
Prince Harry’s strained relationship with the Royal Family continues. However, Meghan Markle allegedly doesn’t want her husband to mend the relationship. She reportedly believes that Prince William and Kate Middleton aren’t to be trusted. She also worries that Harry will be hurt if he tries to bridge the rift between them further.
