According to a report, Prince Harry is “an angry boy” in the USA because he misses home and has been cut off from his friends and family in the UK.
“One of Harry’s oldest friends” made the claim, claiming to be one of the select few to receive “the odd WhatsApp from him.”
The unnamed friend spoke to The UK Sunday Times ahead of the Duke of Sussex’s 40th birthday in September.
“He’s an angry boy,” the pal claimed.
“Things haven’t turned out how he wanted. I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more. Anyone who knows him feels he’d rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with [his older brother] William and Kate.”

In 2020, the senior royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, took a step back. They currently live in California.
As per the report, Harry’s social circle has experienced a notable reduction since his royal departure in 2020. The prince acknowledged, in his Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan,” that he missed his friends. In the process, I’ve lost a couple of friends.”
Many people still find it hard to forgive the royal for choosing to voice his complaints after his departure, a friend of Harry’s told the outlet.
“I can’t believe he’d stoop so low,” said the pal. “It’s outrageously disloyal. Oprah, Netflix and then the book? Three strikes and you’re out.”
The report claimed that Harry had to pay a high price for his desire for independence. His relationship with his father, King Charles, is “strained to [a] breaking point,” and his relationship with William has been “shattered almost certainly beyond repair.” Additionally, his relationships with the other members of the royal family have been “damaged by the artillery of truth bombs he has fired.”
“I know how important it is for him to have a happy, settled family life, but you need to do more than that if you’re him,” a source who has known Harry since his teenage years told the outlet.
“He has ended up isolated from his family and most of his old mates, in an environment where your friendships are not like the ones you forged as a young man,” the source claimed. “He used to love a night out in the pub and hanging out in the country with friends. Maybe he has grown into a different person, but do I think he’d really suit the Californian lifestyle? No.
“Now we’ve seen it all play out, what has that left him with? On the surface, an enviable lifestyle — but for the Harry I know, I can’t imagine that gilded exile in California is where he wanted to end up.”
