Prince Harry 'lonelier than ever' as royal ties weaken amid Charles’ health scare

Prince Harry only learned of King Charles' hospital stay through the media, highlighting his growing royal isolation.

Prince Harry reportedly discovered that his father, King Charles III, had been hospitalized due to cancer treatment side effects only when the news broke to the public.

Sources claim the Duke of Sussex, now 40, is feeling increasingly isolated in his Montecito home, with limited contact with his family and few close friends outside of Meghan Markle’s social circle.

King Charles, 76, was admitted to the hospital for a brief observation following a scheduled medical procedure. Buckingham Palace stated there was “no drama” surrounding the visit, but the lack of direct communication with Harry has raised further questions about his strained relationship with the royal family.

An insider told The Sun that Harry, once considered a "spare" to Prince William, is now appearing like a "spare to Meghan." Another source added that while Harry deeply misses his family, "no one is speaking to him anymore."

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been focused on her personal projects, including a recently released Netflix lifestyle series. The divide between the couple’s lives and Harry’s growing sense of isolation has sparked renewed speculation about his happiness in California.

With the fifth anniversary of Megxit approaching, some of Harry’s former UK friends have expressed doubts about his life in the U.S., questioning if his "gilded exile" is truly what he envisioned. Despite his struggles, he remains firm in his decision not to return to the UK unless he is granted full security protection.
