It seems Prince Harry has found himself in quite the predicament in recent months. After stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California with his wife Meghan Markle, it appears Harry may be struggling to find purpose and happiness in his new life across the pond. Sources close to the situation say Harry is clearly sending out distress signals that he needs more support.
Many observers have noticed that in public appearances over the past year, Harry looks visibly unhappy and longing to be back home in the UK. Even when putting on a brave smiling face for the cameras, one can see the misery behind his eyes. It's evident he's putting on an act to maintain his brand but the true emotions are bubbling under the surface. His body language also gives tells - slouching, not fully engaging. This doesn't appear to be a man who is content or thriving.

Perhaps the biggest clue that Harry is in need of help is his recent demands that he receive an apology from his brother Prince William before returning to royal duties in the UK. As one commentator states, this is truly a "new low" for Harry and shows how out of touch with reality he has become. Given William's wife Kate is battling a serious illness, it's shamefully selfish of Harry to think anyone cares about his demands right now.
One has to wonder what would possibly possess Harry to make such an immature request at this time. It seems crystal clear he is clearly crying out for attention in a desperate bid to be relevant. His marriage to Meghan is clearly on rocks given his willingness to spend months apart from her and their children to work in the UK temporarily. A happy man in a functional marriage would never entertain such an idea.

So what has driven Harry to this point of distress? Experts note he is struggling to find purpose and meaning in his new Californian life surrounded by superficial connections and short-lived celebrity acquaintances. Unlike in the UK, he has no real friends in America and is only being used for his royal connections to further others' careers. Beyond a few PR stunts with the Invictus Games, he has no engaging daily work to dedicate himself to.
In the UK, Harry had found purpose through his military work and charitable causes close to his heart like helping vulnerable children in Africa. He clearly misses having meaningful work where he felt he was making a positive impact. Now his days consist of meditating, working out, and pursuing endless lawsuits - none of which are fulfilling. No amount of money or sunshine can replace true purpose and happiness.

As someone who lived in Los Angeles for many years, it's easy to see through the glossy Hollywood facade. People are primarily self-serving and only associate with celebrities for what they can gain career-wise. Genuine friendship is rare. Harry was foolish to think he could just swap out one life for the next and feel fulfilled. He will never experience the same deep bonds, duty and service in California that he did being part of the royal family in the UK.
It's heartbreaking that Meghan does not seem to recognize the depths of despair her husband is going through. As an allegedly "savvy" woman, she must know on some level he needs more support right now. However, she is too immersed in pursuing her commercial "empire" to pay him much mind or facilitate a return to family in Britain. While she gets to indulge her Hollywood dreams, Harry is left drifting aimlessly in her shadow with nothing substantial to dedicate himself to.

The upcoming months will be telling - will Harry continue his downward spiral into irrelevance and unhappiness abroad, or will he summon the courage to admit California simply isn't working and go back to the UK where he belongs? One can only hope for his sake that he chooses the latter, patches things up with William and other loved ones, and rediscovers his sense of purpose and zest for life by once again serving the people and causes closest to his heart. The poor man is clearly begging for help - someone needs to throw him a lifeline before it's too late.

In summary, through moments of obvious distress, veiled cries for attention, and inconsistent actions, Prince Harry appears to be sending an S.O.S. that he has lost his way and needs rescuing. Stripped of his identity and service through his relocation, he seems deeply unsure of what comes next and who he can rely on. With Meghan too absorbed in her own pursuits, it's up to Harry's family and supporters to extend an olive branch and help guide him back to calm waters where he can flourish once more. The question is whether he will accept the help offered before sinking further into loneliness and depression abroad.
