Prince Harry has embraced a new life without the crown, finding happiness away from the royal protocol.
At last week’s Aspen polo match he seemed relieved, giving fans a rare glimpse of him free from royal obligations, and by all accounts.
He was introduced as Harry Wales while playing polo with his best friend Nacho, with no royal title mentioned ever or anywhere.
He was all smiles and in good spirits without pomp or protocol, spending the day chatting and laughing casually.
The eyewitnesses described him as genuinely happy as he felt relaxed and with no weight on his shoulders.
Even as William prepares to ascend the throne, Harry won’t be stripped of his title, but insiders say it no longer matters to him.
“The Sussex brand is now worthless, and taking the titles away would make William look petty,” an insider told royal commentator Rob Shuter, adding: “Harry doesn’t care about the trappings anymore. He’s done with it.”
Harry often tries to explain that he has fully embraced a life without the crown, while Meghan appears to be clinging to the glamour highlighting the stark contrast.
"He’s finally free. Meghan’s still chasing the shine that’s long gone,” a close friend told Shuter.
