In his latest interview on US
television, the Duke of Sussex cast doubt about his presence at the
jubilee celebrations in London in June amid the ongoing security row with
the UK’s Home Office.
However, in a revelation that
appalled Brits, he also added: ‘Home for me now is, you know, for the time
being, it’s in the States. And it feels that way as well.’
This comes despite his lawyers
telling the High Court in February of the UK: ‘This is and always will be his
home.’
The Duke said he and his
wife Meghan Markle had been ‘welcomed with open arms and we have such
a great community up in Santa Barbara’ in California.
In the interview, Harry
refused to say whether he misses his father Prince Charles and
brother Prince William amid their ongoing feud – but insisted that he
talks with the Queen ‘about things she can’t talk about with anybody
else’.
He also claimed that he was
‘making sure’ the Queen is ‘protected’ and has ‘the right people around
her’.
In addition, he praised the
Queen’s ‘sense of humour’ and spoke of their ‘really special relationship’
following their surprise meeting at Windsor Castle last Thursday where he had
tea with her and his wife Meghan Markle.
Harry also spoke about his
mantra of ‘trying to make the world a better place for my kids’ while
explaining his fears that he could face ‘burnout’ while working from home at
his £11million mansion in Montecito, California.
And, talking about his late
mother Princess Diana, Harry told NBC’s Today that he feels her
‘presence in almost everything that I do now’ and he talks to his son Archie
about her and there are photos of her in their home.
However, the interview raised
eyebrows in Britain, with royal fans taking to social media to hit out at the
duke.
One said: ‘Prince
Harry says he now feels America is his home. That’s good, stay there. Not
wanted here!’ Another wrote: ‘What the hell does he mean…protected? ….You
have become American Harry … so just stay there.’ While a third added:
‘Prince Harry said he has found peace in California. Let him stay there. The
British Royals have had much more peace since his wife left their domiciles.
And, they aren’t too happy with Harry either.’
