Duke’s Choice of Date for U.S. Residency Finalisation Sparks Speculation
Prince Harry’s decision to finalise his U.S. residency on June 29, 2023, has raised eyebrows, with many interpreting it as a poignant nod to his departure from the UK. The date marks the same day he and Meghan Markle were required to vacate Frogmore Cottage, their former home on the Windsor estate, after stepping down from royal duties.
The property, once their primary residence in the UK, was a significant symbol of their life as working royals. After their relocation to California, King Charles reportedly terminated their lease, a move seen by many as reflecting the growing rift between Harry and the royal family.
Choosing June 29 for his U.S. residency finalisation appears to be more than coincidental. Royal commentator Esther Krakue suggested that it may be a symbolic gesture. "It represents everything that could have been and is not and has been lost," she told Sky News Australia.
Now settled in California, Harry continues to redefine his life away from the monarchy, dedicating himself to causes like the Invictus Games and various philanthropic projects. This week, the Duke of Sussex is in New York, engaging in a series of events, and reflecting on how fatherhood has inspired him to make a positive impact on the world.
