Prince Harry says life in US is what Princess Diana would have 'wanted' for him

The Duke of Sussex expressed that he does not intend to return his family to the UK since relocating to the US in 2020. He believes this decision aligns with what his mother, Princess Diana, would have wanted for him.

During an interview with Andrew Sorkin at The New York Times Dealbook Summit on Wednesday, Prince Harry was questioned about whether he intends to stay in America permanently.

"I certainly do," he replied. "I truly love living here and raising my kids in this place."

He mentioned that living in the US, without any royal duties, gives him the sense that it's the kind of life his mother hoped he would have.

He mentioned that he, his wife Meghan Markle, and their two kids, Archie and Lilibet, enjoy a certain level of privacy in the US, allowing them to engage in activities that they "certainly couldn't do in the UK" due to safety issues.

The duke mentioned that his current priority is to be the best husband and father possible.

He also shared his experience of losing his mother, who was pursued by photographers in her car in Paris back in 1997. Additionally, he discussed how living a royal lifestyle has affected his mental well-being.

Harry reflected, "When you're stuck in this bubble, it often feels like there's no escape."

When my mom went through her struggles, I was just a child, and I felt completely powerless. This created a lot of inner conflict for me. I truly felt like I couldn't do anything to change the situation.

"One of my main struggles is experiencing a sense of powerlessness."

He mentioned that his biggest worry was about what could happen to him, his wife, or his children.

In February, the High Court dismissed Harry’s lawsuit against the Home Office regarding a ruling made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec). This ruling stated that he would not receive the same level of taxpayer-funded security while in the UK.

He is now able to bring his case straight to the Court of Appeal after his first attempt to appeal was denied following his defeat in a High Court challenge.
