While many blame Meghan Markle for Prince Harry’s decision to leave the UK and relocate to the US, those who knew Harry before his marriage suggest that Meghan is exactly the kind of partner he always wanted.
A former Sandhurst classmate of Harry’s shared insights into his personality, stating, “He loved being ordered about and told what to do. He was quite good at being in the military and really liked it. He especially liked being told what to do.” The classmate went on to explain that Harry liked to be the center of attention, often doing something “wacky” to make sure all eyes were on him. Despite this, the source described him as “a good guy” and someone who was well-liked by those around him.
Since stepping down from their roles as senior members of the royal family, Harry and Meghan have settled in California, creating a new life together. A source commented, “It’s sad he’s no longer talking to his family — but I can’t say I’m surprised. He liked a firm hand and found Meghan. She’s clearly wearing the pants in the family and is the driving force, so, really, she’s perfect for him.”
Royal biographer Angela Levin raised concerns about possible strains in Harry and Meghan‘s relationship. According to Levin, Harry has expressed a lot of negativity and sadness about various aspects of his life. She suggested, “All of the conversations were very negative, he was very sad about a lot of things, saying we’ve got to change the world, but actually what he means, I think, is that he wants to change his own world.” Levin also speculated that Meghan might eventually drop people from her life once she no longer needs them.
While Harry’s popularity in the UK has declined since his move, his involvement in philanthropy continues to resonate with people. His successful projects, such as the Invictus Games and his patronage of WellChild, were all launched during his time as a working royal. “What Harry seems to be doing is focusing on philanthropy,” Levin noted.
Despite this, moments like his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon show flashes of the “original Harry.” Levin observed, “He was laughing, he was enjoying himself, he was as happy as can be. He’s gone back to being a teenager and enjoying himself.”
