LIVE: EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry’s Lonely UK Life: No New Friends and the King STILL Hasn’t Seen Him

Seeing Prince Harry standing alone in Brackley, with no friends or neighbors around him, was a salutary reminder of just how much he has lost in his idiotic decision to go to war with the royal family. He cut a lonely figure for a man who was once so beloved, had so many friends and was so social. He is now cut off from almost all of them, especially the ones who can’t forgive how he treated William and Catherine (the couples shared many friends). I am now told he and Meghan have made no new friends since moving to the UK. “The only people they see regularly are Ellen and Portia,” my source says. They are completely isolated, totally paranoid about privacy and security, and battered by the news cycle about Meghan’s dad, Thomas. Meghan is not keen on shooting invitations, which are of course the social lifeblood of the region at this time of year. The one bright spot is the kids’ school, which feels “normal,” and the children are settling in well. The same cannot be said for the parents. School is often a way to meet new people, but I’m told they haven’t really bonded with the other parents, partly because of their habit of arriving in a convoy of two or even three Range Rovers, which has started to annoy the other parents, many of whom are also high profile and rich. Meghan is adrift socially, even though hustling like crazy for work is keeping her busy. Harry is traveling a lot (New York last week, Brussels this week), again trying to hustle for business as the two of them try to figure out how to create a sustainable life here. And the King still has not seen them in person, which is becoming a source of frustration. A friend of the King says he is not in a position to just wheel out social visits, and that Harry’s refusal to go through official channels to schedule an audience is making this difficult, as is his decision to appeal the Mail on Sunday judgment (very awkward for the King). Can Harry rebuild a life here, or is this it? Let me know what you think in the comments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
