Prince Harry is reportedly feeling like a fish out of water in the States as he fails to enjoy his new life in California with wife Meghan Markle.
Harry and Meghan made the move across the pond after stepping down as senior royals. However, with Meghan busy launching her lifestyle brand, it seems the Duke of Sussex is increasingly finding himself at a loose end.
The majority of his “solid friendships were UK-based”, said a source. And, as a result, he’s relying more on Meghan for his social life. However, she’s busy with her American Riviera Orchard launch, leaving him feeling “isolated and lonely”.

Harry and Meghan: ‘All work and no play’
An insider speculated to Heat: “Harry is doing his best to stay positive. But behind the brave face, he’s feeling more than a little lost and isolated. His social life is limited at best, since most of his solid friendships were UK-based. He’s by no means short on things to do. He’s got two children and then there’s all the meetings for his own projects. But the social stimulation is seriously lacking, as is his support base. It can feel like it’s all work and no play, which is kind of boring to say the least.”
Meghan, meanwhile, is busier than ever. Born and raised in California, she has family and a strong support base nearby. She also has the launch of American Riviera Orchard to contend with, and filming for her new Netflix show – something which isn’t his “forte”.
The source added that Harry needs “heavy direction from Meghan when it comes to his involvement in lifestyle or domestic-type ventures”. And, they added, that “it’s making him feel a bit sorry for himself”.
