The last five years brought about a great deal of change in the life of Prince Harry. From tying the knot with a stunning Hollywood star to making the groundbreaking choice to break away from his royal origins, his life has been through a rollercoaster of events. For quite some time, talks about him going through a rough patch have been circulating in the news. Now another update on his condition has come to light, and it’s not a positive one. 

A royal source shed light on Prince Harry’s deepening feelings of loneliness. The source also added why the Prince depends on his wife, Meghan Markle, for his social life. 

Prince Harry became a “lonely figure” in recent years 

Prince Harry has been reportedly struggling to find a sense of identity ever since he left his family behind to begin a new chapter in Hollywood. While speaking to Fabulous from The Sun, Royal author Phil Dampier revealed that “He (Prince Harry) doesn’t look happy”, as he lost many of his friends over the years. Dampier also shared that the Prince “is dependent on Meghan for his social life”. He then delved into the potential reasons leading the Prince to feel this way. 

The royal expert continued that the Prince does not have his old circle and is currently on the lookout for social connections among the “rich and famous”. He also revealed that the Prince misses his “drinking buddies” in Montecito, which is a city with an older demographic.

This has been taking a toll on the Prince, who not only lost “his royal status and military connections”, but also lacks genuine friendships in life. A glimpse of this condition could have been foreshadowed on the couple’s wedding itself. 

While the entire world sat glued to their screens on May 19 2018 to witness the Sussexes take their vows, some of the once-close friends began to distance themselves from the Prince following his nuptials. 

Why was Prince Harry’s close pal disappointed with him? 

Prince Harry put a ring on his relationship with Markle in 2018. While the day was historical for every royal family enthusiast, it marked the start of a decline in Prince Harry’s friendships due to a minor oversight. The ceremony was followed by an evening bash, where some, including Tom Inskip, weren’t invited. Inskip later showed his displeasure at the turn of events, saying, ““Meghan has changed Harry too much”. 

In the book Finding Freedom, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand also revealed how disappointed Inskip was for not getting an invitation to the bash. Many of the non-invitees also believed that this was the Sussexes’ way of signaling who they wanted to keep in their life following their marriage. If the claims of Phil Dampier had any truth to it, the “lonely” Prince might just be on his way to reconcile with his old friends, including Tom Inskip.
