Those close to him accept there is much work to do to heal the rifts he has created

PRINCE Harry is moaning to pals that he feels like The Spare again in exile in the US — and might want to come home.

The Duke, who wrote his memoir Spare about growing up in the shadow of heir to the throne brother William, is increasingly dissatisfied with life in California.

And in shock claims yesterday, he is said to be seeking guidance on a return to Britain — and to the Royal Family.

Harry, 39, has reportedly consulted his trusted former aides here after growing sick of the Hollywood reps he and wife Meghan employ.

Pals claim he feels he has lost his way and dislikes being overshadowed by her in public.

Meghan, 43, took centre stage during their visits to Nigeria in May and Colombia last month.

And those in Harry’s inner circle have noted that he seems to enjoy regular solo trips back to the UK, with Meghan refusing to set foot in the country.

His visit to the memorial of his uncle, Lord Fellowes, last week met with approval among those pals.

A source close to them told The Sun: “Harry is feeling more and more isolated in California, which is why he has been reconnecting with old friends back home.

“The Colombia trip also really highlighted how Meghan is comfortable stepping into the spotlight, while Harry cuts a very sulky, unhappy figure in the background.

“He wants to carve out a way back into royal life back in the UK and is seeking counsel from old friends and associates.”

But those close to him accept there is much work to do to heal the rifts he has created.
Harry & William have no chance of making up if they can’t even speak at their uncle’s funeral, says expert
In his 2023 memoir Spare, he took aim at his close family, accusing William of knocking him to the floor during a row.

He claimed William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive” and that William’s wife, Kate, was cold towards her.

Royal biographer Angela Levin said he has cut an unhappy figure of late. She added: “You could say Harry is not even the spare to his wife. He’s almost nothing.

“She treats him horrendously. If you look at the filming of them in Colombia and Africa, he is not asked anything. He’s pushed out of the way.”

But she added: “I was completely and utterly astonished to learn that Harry is trying to call in his old friends to help him get back within his own family.”
