British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard recently claimed to Fox News Digital that the Prince Harry, who has been navigating a life across the pond for five years, still has remorse about the events leading up to his royal exit via Fox News.
“When it comes to regrets, [the Duke and Duchess of Sussex] would be inhuman if they didn’t feel slight regrets surrounding how they handled departing the U.K. to pastures new,” said Chard.
“It will be Harry who has pangs of regret as service as part of the British royal family is all that he knew, and he will be missing certain aspects of his past life, namely the military culture and family unity,” she shared.
“Prince Harry [also feels] regret that his previous fun and special relationship with Princess Catherine suddenly nosedived,” Chard claimed.
“This was due to him slighting his family during interviews, the Netflix documentary and his memoir.”
“I imagine he felt further regret after hearing Princess Catherine’s cancer diagnosis,” Chard added.
For Harry’s wife Meghan Markle, Chard said the former American actress is more focused on building her lifestyle empire in California than looking back.
“Meghan may wonder about what things could have been, but I believe she doesn’t look back, is resolute with her decisions, and has little regret as she is not British,” said Chard.
“She doesn’t have heartfelt ties to the royal family. She couldn’t wait to get away!”
Chard’s claims emerged shortly following an unnamed friend of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke to Closer Weekly, claiming the couple was searching for their “happily ever after” while struggling “to find purpose” in the wealthy, coastal city of Montecito. The insider also claimed that the couple’s continued estrangement from the royal family still hurts.
“The world fell in love with the handsome prince and the American actress. That was the fantasy,” the pal told the outlet.
“They have tried to pinpoint the moment the public turned on them. The best they could come up with was when they started to speak up for themselves, but the last straw was when Harry left England. It was seen as a betrayal, and he broke his grandmother’s heart. That, along with Harry’s book and the Oprah interview – their fairy tale never recovered.”
