Amid reports that Prince Harry was looking to extend an olive branch to the royal family, it is now being claimed that Harry is bored in California and does not see his friends anymore because they don’t like his wife Meghan Markle. “Harry is increasingly bored and looking back across the Atlantic where most of his army and school friends still live and whom he never sees because they won’t visit him in the States because they find Meghan difficult,” royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror.

Harry reportedly has a pre-Meghan and post-Meghan world and the two worlds do not merge. Harry was in England in May for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games — founded by Prince Harry — but did not plan to see his friends as they are part of the pre-Meghan world which Harry hates to revisit. Harry’s friends too do not reach out to the lonely prince because they feel betrayed by the way Harry wrote about his military service in his memoir ‘Spare’.

Harry’s old friends blame Meghan for transforming Harry into Harry the Hippy, Quinn claimed.

“The truth is that Harry has reinvented himself in a way that just doesn’t work for his family or for friends from the past when he was a very different character,” the royal expert added.

While Harry is seemingly unhappy in his new home California, Meghan too feels “under siege” as her life has not been going in the direction that she planned.

Meghan hates that she is not of much interest in America

Quinn said Meghan loves media attention and is not liking it in the US as the spotlight is not on her and Harry. Since stepping down as a senior member of the British royal family in 2020, Meghan tried her hand at a number of projects but the success that she was aiming at remained elusive. Her own lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard which she recently launched also did not grab eyeballs.

“Like her husband, she feels that people are unfairly picking on her – she cannot understand why people don’t admire her work,” Quinn said.
