Ahead of Prince Harry's 40th birthday, a royal insider has claimed that the Duke is 'angry' about how things have turned out as he reminisces on his old life. As Prince Harry's 40th birthday approaches in a few weeks, an old friend of the royal has suggested that the duke spends much of his time reminiscing about the past and longing for the admiration he received from the British public before stepping back from royal duties in 2020. The source told The Times: "He's an angry boy.
Things haven't turned out how he wanted. I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more. Anyone who knows him feels he'd rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate .
" This quiet yearning for his former life is said to be "frustrating" for his wife Meghan Markle , who encourages him to focus on their future with their two children, rather than dwelling on the past, the Express reports. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: "If Meghan is encouraging Harry to leave the past behind and move on, then I think it is a healthy move. They have made their decision, left the working royal family and left the UK.
" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the bold decision to step back from royal life in 2020, relocating to California to raise their son Prince Archie, and later welcoming a daughter, Princess Lilibet. Four years on, the prince confirmed earlier this year that he is now officially a US resident. Jenni.
