Prince Harry solidifies US residence, bids farewell to UK royalty

Prince Harry has solidified his departure from the Royal Family by officially making the US his primary residence, marking a significant shift in his status within the monarchy. The Duke of Sussex, who left the Royal Family in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle and son Archie, has now closed all possibilities of returning to the UK.

Royal author Tom Quinn highlighted Harry's upcoming visit to the UK as a crucial moment, emphasizing that even if circumstances were to change, the call for Harry to return and assist would not extend to his current residence in Montecito, California.

Harry is scheduled to speak at St Paul’s Cathedral in London on May 8 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, an event he founded during his time as a working royal. Despite this commitment, the pressure for him to relinquish his involvement in the Games is not apparent.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been vocal about their decision to step back from royal duties, citing issues of racism within the Royal Family. Their relocation to California has now become permanent, with the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, further solidifying their ties to the US.

Prince Harry's definitive move to establish the US as his primary residence signifies a clear farewell to his former royal life in the UK. As he prepares to mark a significant milestone in the Invictus Games, his ties to the Royal Family continue to diminish, emphasizing his commitment to a new chapter in California.
