This month marks six years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior royals. They then fled the United Kingdom and moved across the world to Southern California, where Meghan was born and raised.
Meghan has seemingly been happier than ever in sunny California. In contrast, Harry has reportedly struggled to acclimate to his new home. Now, insiders are claiming that Harry has become so “homesick” for his native U.K. that he is done with California, much to his wife Meghans dismay.
Harry’s ‘Breaking Point’
Harry, 41, has reportedly become preoccupied with relocating back to Britain. Indeed, it seems that he misses the royal life that he once had there.
“Harry has reached a breaking point with life in California and has been blunt with Meghan that he no longer sees a future for himself there,” an insider told Radar Online. “He feels profoundly unhappy and directionless, frustrated that the professional opportunities he hoped would materialize never truly did.”
“He has struggled to form genuine friendships, feels isolated from any real sense of community, and is deeply unsettled by how decisively Hollywood has cooled toward them, which has only reinforced his sense that he does not belong in that world,” the source continued.
The source went on to say that Meghan, 44, hasn’t done much to help matters.
“In short, Harry is homesick, feels henpecked by Meghan as he’s on her home turf and what she says goes in their relationship,” the insider explained. “And he also feels like a hollow man and a shadow of his former self.”
On top of that, Harry feels more disconnected from the life that he left behind in England.
“This is a man who loved his sports and having a laugh and a pint with his pals at the pub,” the source pointed out “That is the life he wants to get back to. He also misses the sense of purpose being a working royal gave him.”
Harry Feels ‘Sidelined’
Another source spoke out to say that Harry feels constrained by a life that revolves around Meghan’s entertainment ambitions. Prior to her 2018 marriage to Harry, Meghan spent years desperately trying to make it as an actress. She eventually became a series regular on the cable TV show Suits. However, Meghan never came close to achieving the A-list level of fame that she craved until she met Harry.
“Harry feels he has been sidelined from the pursuits that give him a sense of purpose and fulfillment,” this source stated. “Much of their day-to-day life and long-term planning has revolved around Meghan’s interests and career goals, leaving him with the growing feeling that his own priorities have been repeatedly put on hold.”
Meghan has made it clear that she has no intention of ever living in England again. A third insider is claiming that Harry’s longing to do just that is creating turmoil in their relationship.
“Harry’s growing longing for the life he left behind is becoming a major fault line in their relationship. Fueling tension that is increasingly hard to ignore,” this insider alleged. “Those close to Meghan are urging her to take his concerns seriously before the situation reaches a point of no return. Warning that if Harry ultimately decides to leave, the consequences for both of them could be severe and deeply damaging.”
In the years since they left the U.K., Meghan and Harry have frequently bashed the royal family. That’s why Harry might not receive the warm welcome that he’s envisioning if he ever goes through with moving back to England.
In the end, things certainly aren’t looking great for the Meghan and Harry’s marriage these days. Only time will tell if their marriage can survive 2026!
