Taking a Look at the Life of Prince Harry, the Royal Who Walked Away

Tensions between Harry and Meghan and the royal family have escalated since their departure. In 2023, Harry, alongside figures like Sir Elton John, sued a newspaper over intrusive surveillance. Harry’s testimony revealed the royal institution’s concealment of media intrusion, echoed in his memoir, “Spare,” where he accused his family of colluding with the press.

Excluded from King Charles’s 75th birthday, their absence underscored a widening rift. Amid legal battles, Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royals remains strained, marked by vocal critiques and notable absences. As they carve their independent path, the divide signifies a significant rupture in traditional royal ties, suggesting a permanent estrangement.
