Prince Harry is reportedly experiencing a sense of regret six years after he and Meghan Markle left the royal family and relocated to California. According to a royal expert, the Duke of Sussex, now 41, is “unhappy” living over 5,000 miles away from The Firm.
The expert, Duncan Larcombe, recently shared insights with New magazine, stating that Harry has been open about his traumatic childhood. He described Harry’s personality as one that “wears your heart on your sleeve,” which may explain why he seems more emotionally vulnerable compared to his brother, Prince William.
“He’s been quite open about his childhood being flawed and traumatic,” Larcombe told New magazine. “His personality is very much ‘wear your heart on your sleeve,’ which is maybe why he is the one — as opposed to [Prince] William — who seems tortured by it and why he’s making these emotional outbursts.”
“There must have been times when that’s been difficult for Meghan, too. But he seems more unhappy now than he’s ever been,” he noted.
Meghan, 44, and the founder of the Invictus Games stepped back as senior members of the Windsor clan in January 2020. As a result of their departure, they became estranged from King Charles, William, and the rest of the family.
During the Sussexes’ recent Australia tour, Harry opened up about the mental health struggles he faced after welcoming son Prince Archie in 2019.
“I knew that I had stuff from the past that I needed to deal with [before becoming a dad],” he said during an event in Melbourne.

“For me, there’s an element of choosing therapy because you have something or you think there’s something that needs fixing,” the Spare author admitted.
“There’s also the other piece of therapy, which is preventative and getting ahead of it. You don’t have to wait until you’re lying on the kitchen floor in the fetal position,” he went on.
Harry and the Suits actress will be celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary on May 19 and are reportedly considering renewing their vows to mark the occasion.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Reportedly Planning a Vow Renewal
A source told RadarOnline.com on April 30 that Meghan is hoping to have a ceremony to “present unity and commitment for the sake of her lifestyle brand [As Ever] and the ‘happy families’ image she loves to project on social media.”
“She is so focused on ‘Brand Meghan’ she thinks a vow renewal would make for great content on her channels,” the insider added.
However, the source also claimed the former actress is “desperate to leave Harry, as he just doesn’t fit in with the showbiz life she wants.”
“It seems unusual – even contradictory – to plan a romantic recommitment ceremony while also grappling with serious questions about the future of the relationship,” the insider shared. “It underlines just how complex things have become behind closed doors, and how ambitious Meghan is.”
