Since stepping down from royal duties and relocating to the U.S. in 2020, Prince Harry has made several changes to his lifestyle, including a daily 40-minute meditation routine. Now living a more relaxed life in California, the Duke of Sussex, 39, has shifted from his military days and demanding UK schedule to enjoy a laid-back routine under the Californian sun.
In addition to meditation, Harry participates in fitness classes and has enlisted personal trainers to maintain his health. His transformation has also been noted in his speech and appearance, with close friends observing that his accent has taken on American traits, swapping 't's for 'd's, and his wardrobe increasingly reflecting a designer, celebrity style.
The accent change was first noticed during his Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, and language experts have highlighted the subtle shift, particularly in the pronunciation of words like "security" and "Santa Barbara." Harry has also adopted American phrases, further signaling his integration into U.S. culture.
Despite calls for him to take on more traditional work from figures like Princess Diana’s former private secretary, Harry continues to leverage his royal status for public appearances and speeches, often alongside his wife, Meghan Markle.
