Prince Harry, who left his life and friends behind in the UK, appears to be taking a new strategy in the US, especially after Prince William’s latest stunt.
The Prince of Wales delivered a major blow to his estranged brother, Harry, and Meghan Markle after he hired chef and humanitarian, José Andrés, a “close friend” of the Sussexes for his lucrative eco project.
While is it undisclosed if José is still on good terms with the Sussexes, Harry is now shrinking his circle of friends to protect his wife and two children, Prince Archie, 5, Princess Lilibet, 3, according to a source.
To protect his family’s interests, Prince Harry “has a small [group] of close friends,” keeping his circle tight for “understandable reasons,” an insider told Us Weekly.
“He’ll always be fond of his home country,” the source continued. “The way he views it, his wife and kids are his priority. If that means making sure they’re safe and happy in Montecito, then he supports that.”
As far as William’s hiring is concerned, royal expert Phil Dampier told The Sun that Harry is bound to be “jealous” and may harbour “a little bit of resentment.”
He also added that it is still uncertain whether José had a falling out but also shared that the chef may have “managed to stay friends with both parties.”
Given that many of members of the Sussex team have left over the past few years, it is possible that Harry is relying in a select few people, who will not jump ship to join his rival sibling, Prince William.
