Prince Harry has officially distanced himself from his life in the UK, something one expert believes will provide “closure” for the Royal Family.
The Duke of Sussex has swapped his formal residential status from the UK to the US in official documents relating to his not-for-profit organisation Travalyst. When it was set up four years ago, Harry’s place of residence was originally listed as being in the UK.
A new filing now states his “new country/state usually resident” is America. Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggested the move will “provide clarity” for The Firm.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “Prince Harry’s decision to officially declare the US as his new country of residence feels like a significant step in his distance from the Royal Family and his British roots. While Harry has been living in the US for four years, declaring it as his new usual residence officially feels like a subtle but sure way of establishing boundaries and creating a new identity separate from his royal duties.
“Harry’s relationships with his family are already strained and this step sends them a message that he is not planning to return to the UK anytime soon, if at all. While there have been rumours of Harry wanting to return to the UK, this move seems to solidify his commitment to living in America and forging a new path for himself and his family.”
The expert added: “The finality of this decision could potentially cause Prince William and other members of the Royal Family to feel hurt and disappointed, but it may also provide clarity and closure for everyone involved.”
Harry moved to America with his wife Meghan Markle after stepping down from the Royal Family. The couple currently live in a Montecito mansion with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry previously spoke about his life in America during an interview with Good Morning America. Speaking to host Will Reeve, Harry opened up about the possibility of returning to the UK.
“My family and my life in California is as it is. I have got other trips planned. That would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so you know, I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can,” Harry said.
