Meghan Markle ‘frustrated’ as Prince Harry wants his old life back
Prince Harry is reportedly keen to move back to the UK as he wants “his old life back”, and it isn’t sitting well with Meghan Markle.
The Sussexes, who opted to quit the royal family back in 2020, look to have different views on what their future should look like according to entertainment expert Mark Boardman.
Prince Harry’s social life has notably shirted over the past decade,” he told OK! magazine.
“He appears to have distanced himself from his college friends and lacks a permanent UK residence.
“During his visits to London, he typically resides in hotels and avoids public appearances. Undoubtedly, Prince Harry longs for his old friendships.”
Meghan’s feelings
While Harry may want to reconnect with his estranged friends, it appears Markle wants her husband to move past that part of his life.
“Meghan is frustrated that Harry wants his old life back,” Boardman added.
“Meghan loves Harry, but she wants to bring out the better side in him. And she’s quite clear on the roles that they should take together and they are trying to work better together on projects.
“People are eager to witness a transformed Harry, rather than a return to his previous partying lifestyle, which could lead to undesirable media attention.”
Markle reminding him what he should be doing
Boardman stated that while Harry may want to return home due to his relationships with childhood friends, Markle would prefer he be by her side to support her.
“He’s young at heart but he’s got someone to keep him in check and remind him who he is and what he’s supposed to be doing,” said Boardman.
Ultimately, he would 100 percent love a London base and he’d love it to be on royal grounds, even if it was in Windsor or one of the apartments in Buckingham Palace. But it’s not going to happen.
London is where all of Harry’s real friends are. Everyone they know in Hollywood, they aren’t his friends.
“Ultimately, Meghan wants Harry to be by her side to support her, to look after the kids and to get his life back on track. And anything going backwards is going to take away from that.”
