Once a major player in British social circles and a decorated British Army man, Prince Harry seemed yearning for his former life. According to sources, the prince leaves behind in the UK companionship and familiar faces he misses. Though Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has a great social network, there are speculations she might not fit into Harry's old group, which makes reconnections difficult.

Experts observe that Harry, who moved to California in 2020 after resigning from royal responsibilities, is getting bored in the state more and more. Speaking with The Mirror, Tom Quinn said Harry yearns to visit his army and school buddies but cannot. "Harry is growing bored and looking back over the Atlantic where most of his army and school buddies still live and whom he never meets because they find Meghan difficult,” Quinn claimed.

Living in California with Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, Harry missed a big royal wedding this year when William was an usher. To minimize disturbance, he decided not to show up for Hugh Grosvenor's wedding, the godfather of his childhood friend. Quinn also mentioned Harry's pals' discomfort of seeing him in California, ascribed to Meghan's transformation of Harry into "Harry the Hippy."

Some of Harry's former military friends have allegedly found his book "Spare," offensive. His presentation of their service disappoints them since they see it as a disrespect of military traditions. This might help to explain Harry's loneliness on his most recent UK trip for the Invictus Games commitment. Staying in a hotel rather than a royal residence, he appeared to be with relatives from his mother's side.

Viewing them as part of his "pre-Meghan" phase, a time he seems to be passing, royal expert Tom Quinn thinks Harry might be separating himself from his former pals and military colleagues.
