Prince Harry ‘lost his identity' after leaving Royal family: Expert

Prince Harry has been criticised for lacking direction since stepping down from royal duties in 2020 alongside his wife, Meghan Markle.

In her piece for The Sun, assistant editor Clemmie Moodie said the Duke of Sussex has lost his identity and sense of purpose.

The author praised King Charles and late Princess Diana’s son over his past military service, including two tours in Afghanistan, and his work in launching the Invictus Games for injured service personnel.

However, she claimed that none of his recent ventures, including his 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, compare to the purpose he once found in serving his country.

"Since leaving the Army, something he was genuinely passionate about and, by all accounts, brilliant at, Harry has lost his identity,” Moodie wrote.

She added, "Like many ex-military men, he has lost his sense of purpose: one he so evidently hoped to find as one half of the world’s hottest, most powerful power couple."

"[None of this] can replace the camaraderie and raison d’etre of serving your country,” she said of his recent projects. "Harry’s only purpose now is serving himself."

Recently, the Duke of Sussex was dubbed his wife’s “spare.” Sharing her two-cents on the matter, Moodie said, "While Meghan Markle is beginning to find her groove as the planet’s first ex-royal influencer, Harry appears to have no discernible talent."
