It came amid a dispute between Harry and the British government over his demand for taxpayer-funded security when he and his family are in Britain. This has so far been rejected, but reports suggest that the duke plans to continue pushing for protection paid from the public purse. It is understood that he paid for private security to safeguard him during this month’s visit. He also suffered a defeat in a court case against Associated Newspapers – the publisher of The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday – over claims journalists acquire information illegally.

Harry called the judgment, which rejected all of his claims, a “complete and obvious whitewash”.

This came after major accusations were made against the Royal Family during the prince and Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry’s controversial memoir Spare.

During The Daily Telegraph’s The Royal T podcast last week, host Camilla Tominey said: “I’ve always said and I would never take away from him how good he is with the general public and how good he is with people with profound disabilities, how good he is in committing himself fully to the causes he champions. I don’t think anyone can ever take away how genuine that is.

“I think he’s like his mother. I think he really wants to make a difference. And I think he understands his position of privilege to do that.”

But she added: “I think he’s just got lost in a sort of sea of a degree of woe-is-meism that’s completely misplaced because at the end of the day, you’re a multi-millionaire living in Monteito.

“Stop bloody grumbling and just get on with life. Just on the kind of thriving on drama thing.”

According to reported sources, Harry greatly misses the UK and the role he once held as a working member of the Royal Family, which he left in January 2020.
