Harry’s pals don’t know who he is now he’s under Meghan’s influence – she’s behind most of what he does, expert claims
PRINCE Harry’s friends “don’t know who he is now” and he “doesn’t seem like the person who everybody used to know”, claimed a royal expert.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward claimed she can “very much feel the hand of Meghan” on most things the Duke of Sussex, 39, does.
It comes as Harry’s former group have reportedly ousted him after shocking attacks against the Royal Family in his 2021 Oprah interview, 2022 Netflix docuseries and 2023 memoir Spare – as they blasted “three strikes and you’re out”.
Ingrid Seward told The Sun: “I think he’s got a lot of challenges ahead but I don’t think he knows what they are.
“I think they’ve lost touch with him and they don’t know who is he is now, he doesn’t seem like the person who everybody used to know. The fun loving, sporty, semi-hell-raiser he used to be is no more.
“He’s now into therapy, and wellness and changing the world, or trying to, I don’t think this is the man he knew.”
Harry became a proud father to Prince Archie in 2019, and welcomed daughter Princess Lilibet in 2021.
Since moving to California, the duke has continued to express his happiness and desire to stay their raising a family.
He beamed as he said previously “I am just very grateful to be a dad”, and regarding living in the US Harry added “it is amazing, I am enjoying every single day”.
Mrs Seward also admitted: “I believe from what I’ve heard from friends of his that he is very happy in California.
“He’s about to be 40, he’s living in the most beautiful place, he’s got two children and a wife he loves, what more could he want. I don’t think he does miss England. He hasn’t been there long enough yet to become unsettled but I think a time will come when he yearns for the green grass of home.”
But, the royal expert added: “I think it’s to do with the more powerful person in the couple and I get the feeling she’s the stronger partner in this marriage.
“American women very often are, and I think she is probably guiding Harry.
“I can very much feel the hand of Meghan on most of the things that Harry does.”
It comes after an ex-pal slammed the duke for ‘making cash from trashing his family’.
The dad-of-two relocated to California with wife Meghan in 2020, just two years after their fairytale wedding at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Harry parked a bitter feud with the Firm after stepping down as a senior working royal, and has only strained relations since.
His explosive memoir Spare appeared to completely fracture any last remaining bonds after the devastating fall out from their Harry & Meghan show and Oprah chat.
He accused Wills of physically attacking him by knocking him to the floor over rude comments about Meghan.
The estranged brothers have not spoken to each other since the late Queen’s funeral two years ago, it is understood.
And Prince William reportedly said he ‘does not want Harry at his coronation’.
A friend told The Times it’s “three strikes and you’re out”.
“I can’t believe he’d stoop so low. It’s outrageously disloyal. Oprah, Netflix and then the book? Three strikes and you’re out,” fumed the source.
Meanwhile, another ex-pal, who still receives the “odd WhatsApp” from the prince claimed he “misses being in Britain”.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was contacted for comment.
Prince Harry would put end to royal war with dad Charles… but only if he gets what he wants, pals say
By Jonathan Rose
PRINCE Harry would put an end to the royal war with King Charles if his full security is restored, pals have claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, lost the right to close protection after stepping back as a working royal.
He has since been stuck in a long-running legal battle over changing his government-funded UK security.
The monarch is said to find the long dispute between the US-based prince and the Home Office “very tricky”.
Harry blames Charles’s staff in charge of allocating police protection resources.
He lost a High Court challenge against a ruling it was legal but is set to appeal.
But friends of Harry told The Sunday Times it would be “swords down” if his security were restored.
They also claimed Meghan “wishes he could let go of these lawsuits, be happy and live in the moment”.
The sources added: “She wants him to be free of all this.”
Meanwhile an insider close to the King said Harry’s belief he controlled security matters was “mistaken”.
Others said it would be “wholly inappropriate” for the King to wade into the legal battle which has cost the taxpayer at least £500,000.
As reported by The Times, Harry would rather be in the UK with “everyone loving him” as Prince William and Princess Kate are.
“He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted,” alleged the source.
It comes as Harry and Meghan wrap up their ‘faux-royal’ Colombia tour.
They shared a passionate kiss as they enjoyed an intimate salsa session on the fourth day of the trip.
It has taken them to capital city Bogota, Cartagena de Indias on the Caribbean coast and the undisputed capital of salsa Cali.
The besotted couple joined the student dancers on the floor – even participating in a steamy salsa dance.
They were seen packing on the PDA – with the Duchess grabbing her hubby’s face at one point before the pair shared a passionate kiss.
A body language expert claimed Harry and Meghan’s salsa session revealed how the duke is desperate for his wife’s approval.
Speaking to The Sun, Judi James said: “Despite Harry’s rather rigid hip grinds out there on the floor he clearly receives a very strong signal of passionate approval and reward from Meghan here as she ends their dance together with an extremely non-regal kiss on the lips.
“Meghan is the one throwing herself into the dance with the stronger signals of confident abandon, shifting her hips, raising her arms into the air and tossing her long hair around as she dances with local guests as well as her husband.
“She seems to like the face-touch signal as a message of bonding and thanks after a twirl round the floor as she performs it on
another one of her Salsa partners, but with Harry the gesture converts into a much more intimate moment in front of the entire room.
“After some brave but slightly awkward twirls with her husband, Meghan steps closer to hug-dance with him while patting him on the back in a tie-sign signal that seems to be a gesture of ‘well done, but let’s stop’.
“She then faces him and takes his face in both of her hands for a moment of intense eye-to-eye gazing as he moves to reciprocate by holding her upper arms.
“With the tender face-clamp perfect for steering she then leans up to kiss her husband quickly but romantically on the lips to thank him for the dance before breaking away to clap the musicians.
“This kiss is instigated and performed by Meghan on a slightly surprised but happy-looking Harry and it seems to be a symbol of her delight at the tour as well as the cherry on the sundae in terms of Meghan wanting to prove the world how loved-up she and Harry remain.”
