Prince Harry was once a major part of a royal event that has just passed in the calendar – something he truly misses, according to an expert.

Prince Harry has been living in the US for four years – but he has one pull over leaving behind his life in the UK, according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.

The Duke of Sussex made the decision to step down as a working royal in January 2020, and eventually moved to the US later that year.

Despite being optimistic about his life in the US, Mr Fitzwilliams has said that Harry holds regret over missing major events such as Trooping the Colour – especially with his military past.

Speaking to The Sun, the expert said that Harry feels contrite about his UK exit – with Meghan Markle not sharing the same feelings as her husband.

The expert said: “The military has been a very important part of [Harry’s] life, and I would have thought [it’s] only natural he would have had a feeling of some regret [not being at Trooping the Colour].”

Discussing Harry’s wife, who officially joined the Royal Family in 2018, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “I think Meghan would be indifferent to a ceremony like Trooping the Colour… I don’t think it would mean a great deal to her.

“If it had done, she would have managed to carve a position within the Royal Family where she could have been of use.”

Mr Fitzwilliam’s comments come after Meghan and Harry were snubbed from the major annual event for the second year in a row.
