These comments emerged after he missed the wedding of his best friend, Jackman, over the weekend. Harry and Jack were known to be incredibly close, with reports suggesting that Harry wanted Jack to be his best man at his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle, instead of his brother, William.
Although Jack ultimately served as part of Harry's "Band of Brothers" and was rumored to be an usher, they were once part of a group of highly eligible young men, as noted by Ingrid Seward, a royal biographer and the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine.
They looked out for one another, socialized together, and attended each other's stag parties and weddings. However, the status of their friendship remains uncertain.
Harry and Jack initially met while attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and playing polo together. Seward mentioned that Jack found a soulmate in Harry, and they have remained close mates ever since.
Nevertheless, it's unclear how close they still are after their tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and their commissions into the Blues and Royals. In his tell-all memoir, the Duke of Sussex admitted to falling out with some of his old friends after publicly criticizing the royal family on television. While Harry was absent from Jack's wedding to osteopath Isabella Clark at St.
Peter's Church in Sutton, Suffolk, one of Harry's other friends, Thomas van Straubenzee, and his wife, Lucy, attended the event. Thomas is also the godfather of Princess Charlotte. Meanwhile, Harry remained in Santa Barbara with Meghan and the couple was spotted leaving an office building in California on Friday.
Despite the distance, Seward believes that Harry could have managed the trip from LA to Suffolk, suggesting that even if he left Meghan at home, he could easily afford first-class airfare if he didn't opt for private jets.
Seward concluded by stating that it is not a positive sign, emphasizing that everyone needs friends and, unless Harry wishes to be consumed by the fantasy life of Tinseltown, he needs them more than ever.
