According to sources, Prince Harry isn’t the same old chap he used to be. In an interview with Times Radio, Queen Elizabeth’s former press secretary Alisa Anderson dished that, since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family, Harry has lost a bit of his charm. “The Harry that I knew – and I left and obviously that was before he got married, so 2013 – but he was the media’s darling,” Anderson said.
The former royal aide went on, “I remember at the start he could not put a foot wrong, he was just this war hero, he’d served, he was committed, he had the Invictus Games He really couldn’t put a step wrong.” Anderson further noted how much Prince Harry’s absence has changed the entire royal family. “They were very joined up and offering support to each other. So when that doesn’t happen suddenly, it’s what happens in any family not just the Royal Family, it’s a loss isn’t it? It’s a bereavement,” she said.
Prince Harry Makes a Permanent Change
The comments from Anderson come just after it was reported that the Duke of Sussex officially changed his residency from Britain to the United States. Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, moved to California, her home state, in 2020 after their aforementioned step back from royal duties, and they have lived there ever since.
Buzz about Prince Harry’s potential return to the institution as a part-time royal has also swirled in recent days as it’s been alleged that King Charles has no intention of allowing it. Given Charles’ recent health crisis, some have wondered whether he will reign much longer. If Prince William were to ascend to the throne, it’s unlikely he would welcome his brother’s return to the position. As it stands, the Duke of Sussex is destined to be an American citizen for the rest of his life.
