Prince Harry has 'deep regrets' about leaving UK, reveals expert

Prince Harry’s new Remembrance Day essay has reignited speculation that the Duke of Sussex may be quietly wrestling with regret over leaving the UK, according to one royal commentator.

In his deeply personal piece titled The Bond, The Banter, The Bravery: What It Means to Be British, Harry reflected on his decade in the Armed Forces and the pride he still feels in serving “the country I proudly fought for.”

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes the essay revealed more than Harry intended.

Speaking to Fox News, he said the duke’s words “highlighted his status as an exile.”

“Exiles feel deep regret. He knows the military was the making of him after the trauma he suffered following the death of his mother, which still haunts him. He has given back with the Invictus Games, a remarkable achievement,” he said.

"His words clearly came from the heart and were all the more moving for that. His respect and affection for Queen Elizabeth II, whom he called ‘my Commander-in-Chief,’ is undoubted."

Fitzwilliams suggested Harry’s strained relationship with the royals worsened after Spare, and King Charles’s ongoing health issues likely intensify those feelings.

“So he is bound to have very deep regrets. The state of his father’s health is bound to add to them.”
