Yo, Prince Harry just can’t shake off that London fog! The Duke of Sussex recently jetted across the pond for some charity work in the U.K., and word on the street is that the trip hit him right in the feels. Sources close to the royal are buzzing about how Harry’s been blowing up his old crew’s phones with some seriously emotional texts, straight outta a Hollywood drama.
After stepping away from royal duties in 2020 and setting up shop in the laid-back luxe of Montecito, California - think Santa Barbara’s ritzy cousin - Harry’s been living that SoCal dream with Meghan Markle and their two mini-royals, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. But it seems even palm trees and ocean breezes can’t compete with memories of rainy pub nights back home.
One of his longtime homies spilled to RadarOnline that they still call him ‘Spike’ - an old-school nickname - and the dude is straight-up homesick. These aren’t just quick ‘hey’ texts; we’re talking full-on, heart-on-sleeve WhatsApp essays that scream nostalgia.
Harry’s pals are feeling the vibes, saying the 41-year-old prince is slowly sounding like the guy they used to kick it with before all the royal drama unfolded. ‘To us, it looks like he’s missing home and his old drinking buddies,’ one friend dished, painting a picture of a dude longing for simpler times over a pint.
And get this - it’s not just Harry pining for the past. Apparently, even King Charles is feeling the distance. A courtier told RadarOnline that the King holds a special spot for Harry in his heart, even with all the recent tea spilled. ‘Harry has always been especially dear to the King,’ they shared, noting that Charles feels the absence more than the tension with Prince William.
‘I can’t help but miss the old days, and I know he does too,’ a close friend of Harry reportedly confided, reflecting on the emotional messages.
Despite the rocky road with the royal fam, Harry’s never been one to shy away from laying his emotions bare. In a chat with BBC News, the Duke got real about wanting to mend fences. ‘There’s no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious,’ he admitted, dropping some serious wisdom that could resonate from the Hollywood Hills to the streets of London.
Whether it’s the call of old haunts or just missing the fam, Harry’s emotional outreach has got everyone talking. Will this lead to a royal reunion worthy of a Netflix special, or is it just a case of missing the good ol’ British banter? Stick with us as we keep tabs on this unfolding SoCal-to-Scotland Yard saga.
For now, Harry’s texts are a reminder that even with all the glitz of Cali life, sometimes home - rain, tea, and all - is where the heart stays. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on whether the Duke will bridge that transatlantic gap.
