Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is allegedly tired of his life in the US and wants to go back to his home in the UK. According to an exclusive piece from Radar Online, the Duke of Sussex feels lost and isolated in the "Land of Opportunity." Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the US almost six years ago in 2020, after he stepped back from his royal duties to settle down with his wife in her home country.

A source revealed to Radar Online that the Duke of Sussex wishes to relocate, whether it is back at home or to some new place. After several failed projects and friendships, the 41-year-old duke is feeling drawn back to his previous royal life.

The source said:

"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. He feels profoundly unhappy and directionless, frustrated that the professional opportunities he hoped would materialize never truly did."

They added:

"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."

Why does the Duke of Sussex want to go back to his old life in the UK?

The source revealed what kind of person the Duke of Sussex was before his marriage to Meghan Markle. They also shared the kind of activities he enjoyed while he was living back at home. Life in the US is starkly different from the life he was used and he wishes to go back to something familiar.

The insider source shared:

"In short, Harry is homesick, feels henpecked by Meghan as he's on her home turf and what she says goes in their relationship – and he also feels like a hollow man and a shadow of his former self."

The Duke of Sussex longs to feel connected to his home. The source further elaborated on the things that the prince enjoyed doing back in the UK with his friends:

"This is a man who loved his sports and having a laugh and a pint with his pals at the pub. That is the life he wants to get back to. He also misses the sense of purpose being a working royal gave him."

Ever since they moved to America, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's joint ventures have never reached success, which led them to find their separate paths, career-wise.

Now, Meghan is focusing on her own show with Netflix and her brand, As Ever. There are also rumors that the actress might return to acting after she was spotted on the set of Close Personal Friends.

On the other hand, the Duke of Sussex is focused on other things. This includes charitable work and advocacy. Over the last few months, it has been noticeable that the Duke had returned home to the UK without Markle and their children.

Another source spoke about the fact that Meghan Markle is aware of how her husband feels, and his desire to go back to his home country. The source also mentioned that being in the States has left the Duke of Sussex feeling dissatisfied with his life, especially since he is not doing what gives him "purpose and fulfilment."

"Harry has now all but won that review. That victory is a further signal of how desperate Harry is to spend more time in his home country. Meghan kept telling him to let it be, but she knows deep down that he's done it in part to try to escape. He is just absolutely done with life in the States... Harry feels he has been sidelined from the pursuits that give him a sense of purpose and fulfilment."

They also shared that Prince Harry's life in the States mainly focused on Meghan's goals and dreams. It was more about her career progression and interests, while his aspirations were kept in the back. In their words:

"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."

There are rumors that the prince is allegedly looking at the Portugal property owned by him and Meghan to start his new venture. Another possibility is that the Duke of Sussex might begin a new venture in the Middle East.

Another insider source said that there might be a possibility that the Sussexes might be living apart for a while if Meghan refuses to compromise with her husband. In their words:

"Harry is believed to be approaching a point where he may force a hard decision, asking Meghan to either relocate with him to Portugal or accept a period of living apart while he pursues opportunities elsewhere. He is convinced that remaining in California will only further erode whatever credibility and influence they have left, leaving them with little standing to rebuild from in the future."

A different royal source hinted at how the situation between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might escalate if she does not take it seriously. The source also revealed that friends of Markle have allegedly told her to consider Prince Harry's wishes before something drastic happens to their relationship.

The source concluded the exclusive with Radar Online, saying:

"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. 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."

The Duke of Sussex is reportedly unhappy with his life in the US and feels drawn back to the UK. According to sources, they claimed that failed projects, isolation, and career struggles are some of the reasons for his frustration, leading him to want to go back. While Meghan focuses on her own ventures, Harry is said to be considering a major change that could affect their future together.
