Prince Harry has morphed from a happy ex-working royal living on the other side of the Atlantic into a lonely soul who misses his friends and longs to reconcile with his family who he has hurt so much, writes Angela Levin.
The Daily Mirror’s Royal Editor Russell Myers discusses a piece from the mirror about Prince Harry finding himself in a world that is growing increasingly unfriendly.
“I think for Pince Harry, it’s been quite a tumultuous time; it still seems very very fresh in the memory, their decision to leave the royal family,” Mr Myers said.
“Harry is really yet to find what he wants to do for his future.”
Tillman joined the military after the terror attacks of 9/11 but died by friendly fire in 2004.
The ESPY awards that give out annual gongs for excellence in sports chose to give the Pat Tillman award to Harry acknowledging his work with the Invictus Games – without consulting the footballer’s mother Mary.
She is furious with their choice.

“I am shocked, why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” she said publicly.
“There are recipients … working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.”
Hundreds of thousands of supporters are voting against it going to Harry.
Now Meghan loves receiving all sorts of accolades.
The ‘Ripple of Hope Award’ was given to her and her husband by Kerry, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy.

This award among other things promotes racial equality and the couple were praised for standing up to the alleged racism in the Royal Family.
The couple have since admitted the family were not racist – saying there is a difference between racism and unconscious bias.
Nevertheless, the award controversy has come at a complex time for our vulnerable but determined Prince.
Blink once and Harry can be found living happily in Montecito, California which is nearly 9,000 km away from the Royal Family who he left in 2020.
The mansion has 16 bathrooms and a 7.38-acre garden that offers tranquillity as well as the strawberries and raspberries Meghan needs for her latest enterprise of selling jam.

Harry has even hinted he may become a US citizen but as yet there are concerns about whether he lied about drug taking on his immigration forms that have so far been hard to get a hold of.
Blink again and Harry is a lonely victim, who longs to make amends with his family as they have been ignoring his verbal attacks for four years now.
One unnamed insider told Closer magazine: “He’s heartbroken and confused by the way (his family have) cut him off.”
He also would “have done anything” to have been invited to Trooping the Colour – a celebration each June marking the King’s official birthday.
GT Communication’s Gemma Tognini has labelled “self-obsessed” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a “dumpster fire” when it comes to adulting.
“So self-obsessed they leave the royal family, they quit their jobs but they keep the title and then whinge and moan that nobodies giving them security anymore but we want to be self-determined and independent financially,” Ms Tognini said.
“I mean they’re an absolute dumpster fire when it comes to adulting.”
He also longed to see Princess Catherine “face to face” in her first public appearance since she was diagnosed with cancer.
Yet Harry has been unkind about her too.
During a Netflix documentary in 2022 he said that royal men, except himself, tended to marry women who “fit the mould” rather than for true love, which he has done.
These remarks made William furious.
He’s also trying to be involved in the upbringing of William and Catherine’s children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Sky News host Danica De Giorgio has reacted to Prince William cutting loose at the Euro 2024 quarter-final match.
A video of the Prince of Wales has gone viral for his hilariously animated reactions to the England team’s successes at the Euro football championship over the weekend.
It comes after he was caught ‘dad-dancing’ at Taylor Swift’s London concert last month.
He has told a UK newspaper that “out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare. And that … worries me.”
He admits William has said it is not his responsibility but he keeps trying.
Some say he hugely misses his friends, some of whom are not keen to visit because they don’t want to spend time with Meghan.
It has also been suggested that he is fed up with Meghan and her demands and believe it or not, has missed some of his former life.
Prince William and Princess Catherine’s major change to their team has raised conjecture about the Princess of Wales’s health amid ongoing cancer treatment.
It comes as the Prince and Princess of Wales have appointed the former boss of supermarket giant, Tesco as a director for their foundation.
News Corp Columnist Angela Mollard has joined Sky News host Caroline Di Russo to discuss the royal couple’s major change to their team and what it suggests about Princess Catherine’s health.
“What this appointment suggests is that she is getting back to work behind the scenes or at least that she was sufficiently capable of making some decisions around this trusteeship,” Ms Mollard said.
“She would have been consulted on it, and that means that perhaps she is getting better and getting ready to come back to work,” she said.
Once upon a time he would have talked it through with his brother but it’s no surprise that William keeps him well away.
On top of that other royals find Harry difficult to trust as he has leaked private conversations.
Meanwhile, Harry is currently looking for a home in the UK partly because he wants to join royal events.
Last time he was there the King offered him space in St James’ Palace, very close to his London home and used by Princess Beatrice and Anne when in London.
King Charles has been taught a new handshake while welcoming the West Indies cricket team.
The Monarch met the players at Buckingham Palace ahead of their first Test match against England at Lord’s this week.
Debutant Jeremiah Louis took some extra time with his interaction to show off the elaborate handshake.
But Harry didn’t feel it was safe enough.
Instead he wants 24/7 police protection and is taking the Home Office to court for the third time, which the British taxpayers are footing the bill for.
He is no longer a working royal and other protection is available.
Harry has also been accused of destroying evidence relating to his phone hacking lawsuit – and the judge has ordered him to explain himself.
The Duke of Sussex is clearly a man with a lot on his plate.
