A New Life in the United States

In January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step back as senior members of the British royal family. By mid-2020, the couple had relocated to the U.S., eventually settling in Montecito, California, where they currently live with their two children, Archie and Lilibet

Their decision marked a significant turning point in royal history and allowed them greater independence over personal, financial, and media affairs. In the time since, they have focused on privacy and establishing their own philanthropic identity.

Archewell Foundation and Humanitarian Work

Shortly after their move, Prince Harry and Meghan launched the Archewell Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting compassion, mental health, and community impact. According to the foundation’s official website, its mission is to “unleash the power of compassion to drive systemic cultural change.”

Key initiatives have included:

• Supporting mental health resources for underserved communities
• Partnering with organizations for COVID-19 vaccine equity
• Advocating for responsible use of technology and digital platforms

Prince Harry’s Mental Health Advocacy

Prince Harry continues to be a strong advocate for mental health, a cause he has supported for years. His collaboration with Oprah Winfrey on the Apple TV+ series The Me You Can’t See brought global attention to mental health stigma and trauma recovery.

In this docuseries, Prince Harry opened up about his own experiences with grief following the death of Princess Diana, and the pressures of royal life. The series received critical acclaim and aligned with his longstanding commitment to wellness and emotional well-being

Veterans and the Invictus Games

Another major aspect of Prince Harry’s public life is his work with military veterans. In 2014, he founded the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans.

Prince Harry remains actively involved in organizing and promoting the games. The most recent Invictus Games in Düsseldorf, Germany (September 2023), saw him attend and speak about the healing power of sport and community

His ongoing involvement reflects both his military background and his personal commitment to those who serve.

Royal Family Relations: Confirmed Context

While much media attention has focused on Prince Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family, only a few confirmed developments are available in the public domain.

• In February 2024, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III was undergoing treatment for a form of cancer【Source: BBC News】. Reports confirmed that Prince Harry traveled to the UK at that time for a brief visit with his father.
• No official statements from Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace have detailed ongoing private communications, but coverage by Sky News and The Telegraph indicates that contact between Prince Harry and other family members, including Prince William, remains limited but not severed.

While speculation about reconciliation persists, no formal updates have been shared by official royal sources regarding future reunions or discussions.

Media Coverage and Public Perception

Prince Harry remains a subject of global interest, but he has adopted a more measured approach to media exposure. While some interviews and appearances—such as with Oprah or for Spare, his 2023 memoir—have made headlines, his overall public presence is focused on issues rather than royal commentary.

According to NBC News, CNN, and other major networks, Prince Harry is viewed by many as a symbol of modern royalty—balancing tradition with personal values. Supporters praise his transparency and advocacy, while critics often focus on his decision to step away from formal duties.

Nonetheless, his popularity remains high, particularly in the U.S., where his initiatives have found broad support across media, philanthropy, and wellness sectors.

Privacy and Ethical Reporting

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have consistently emphasized the importance of privacy, especially for their children. They have urged the media to avoid invasive coverage and respect their personal space.

Reputable media outlets such as BBC News and Reuters have adhered to these requests, avoiding speculation and unverified claims about health, family matters, or private life. Ethical reporting remains crucial when covering public figures—particularly those with young children or health-related concerns.

Conclusion: A Path Shaped by Purpose

Prince Harry’s journey since leaving senior royal life has been marked by intentional advocacy, family focus, and humanitarian leadership. While the media continues to follow his life closely, his public actions emphasize service, healing, and systemic change.

From launching Archewell Foundation to supporting Invictus Games and sharing personal stories to combat mental health stigma, Prince Harry continues to evolve as a global figure rooted in purpose, not protocol.

As he moves forward in his roles as a father, advocate, and changemaker, Prince Harry’s impact is being shaped not by his title—but by his values, voice, and vision.
