It’s been four years since Prince Harry stepped down as a senior royal and moved across the world to Southern California with his wife Meghan Markle. Now, a royal expert is speaking out to claim that Harry is struggling to move on with his life in the states as he can’t stop “looking back.”
Imagine that – who wouldn’t regret giving up all the revelry of a royal life?
Harry Can’t Stop ‘Looking Back’
Roya Nikkhah, royals editor for The Sunday Times and co-host of the podcast “The Royals with Roya and Kate,” alleged that Harry, 40, has been doing “a fair amount of looking back.” This has happened amidst his ongoing battle over his security, which he lost after stepping back as a senior royal back in 2020.
And of course, there’s the continuous rumblings about Harry and Meghan bailing on America.
“He’s got various court cases still ongoing here,” Nikkhah told Fox News. “I think we may see him back at the beginning of next year, which sort of pulls him back into . . . an old bit of his life that was very difficult for him.”
“But he loves his family life out in the States,” Nikkhah continued. “He’s thrilled to be a dad . . . I suppose for him, it’s just finding a role, a really meaningful role going forward… The Invictus Games is fantastic, and he does great work there and that will continue. But I think for him going forward, it’s . . . [finding] a meaningful world for himself living out in the States on the global stage.”
Harry’s Future
Nikkhah went on to reveal what Harry wants to be moving forward.
“Being a humanitarian is what he says he wants to be,” Nikkhah added. “I think that’s what he will probably look to focus on for the next few years – how he builds that profile as a humanitarian.”
Before Harry’s 40th birthday in September, Nikkhah said that his “transition into the celebrity prince of California” came with a hefty price. This was in the form of his close bond with his brother Prince William that is “almost certainly beyond repair.”
“They’re estranged,” Nikkhah said of Harry and William. “They don’t speak, that’s my understanding. They haven’t spoken for more than two years, sadly.”
Harry’s relationship with his father King Charles is also “strained to [a] breaking point.”

Harry Is Reportedly Torn
Sources close to Harry told Nikkhah that he seems torn “between battling old demons and getting on with his life.”
“All he does is spend time looking back,” alleged one former adviser to Harry. “If only he could wrench his neck around and look forward.”
In her latest interview, Nikkhah expressed her belief that there’s no way Harry can ever be a partial working royal.
“I don’t see that happening at all,” she explained. “I don’t think it’s wanted by him, and it’s certainly not wanted by the royal family. And the whole point of [the Duke and Duchess of Sussex] leaving was that . . . the late queen agreed you can’t be half in, half out.”
“I just don’t get the sense from Harry or anyone around him that that’s what he wants,” she concluded. “I don’t think he wants to be back in the UK doing official royal duties. Would he sometimes like to maybe join the family at events? Possibly, but I don’t think there’s any desire on either side for him to come back to do royal duties again.”

It’s sad to see any family be torn apart in this way. We can only hope that the royal family can someday find a way to come back together again.
