Duke Reportedly Feels Isolated Amid Palace Silence and King Charles’ Health Crisis
Prince Harry is reportedly feeling more isolated than ever as he grapples with the latest royal snub and ongoing family tensions, five years after stepping back from royal duties.
The Duke of Sussex, who relocated to California with Meghan Markle in 2020, allegedly learned of King Charles III’s recent hospitalisation through media reports, rather than being informed by Buckingham Palace. The King was admitted due to complications from cancer treatment, prompting concern and speculation across the royal sphere.
Sources close to the Duke claim he is “lonelier than ever” and now spends most of his time confined to his Montecito home. Meanwhile, Meghan has continued focusing on her own ventures, further deepening the perception of emotional distance between the couple and the royal family.
A royal insider remarked, “First he was a spare to William, now he’s increasingly looking like a spare to Meghan—and it’s not a great look.” Another source added, “He misses his family terribly, but no one is speaking to him anymore. He just wants simple moments like grabbing a beer, but now his only social circle consists of Meghan’s friends’ husbands.”
Commentators suggest the Palace may be intentionally keeping Harry out of the loop to avoid adding strain, as King Charles was forced to cancel several engagements following his recent hospitalisation.
