Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bold move appears to be paying off. Stepping away from their official royal duties to pursue a more independent life in North America seemed like a gamble, but they seem to have regained control over their lives.
While Prince Harry may have faced a decline in support from the British public, he has found happiness with his family in the US, according to a royal expert. Dr. Tobias Harper, an associate professor at the University of Arizona, suggests that while it's difficult to measure Harry's success, it's evident that he has found fulfillment in his family life. "Success is a complex thing to define," Dr. Harper explains. "It's not just about popularity but also about personal happiness."
Discussing Harry and Meghan's decision to step back from their royal roles, Dr. Harper acknowledges that it was a risky move but one that seems to have granted them more control over their lives. As an expert in modern British history, Dr. Harper believes that popularity and happiness are intertwined. He suggests that if the couple were content living away from the UK, their decision to move to the US was the right one for them and their family.
Despite uncertainties about the future, Dr. Harper is confident that Prince Harry will thrive. "Leaving the chaos of the royal industry behind in search of a more peaceful existence was a rational decision," he remarks. Even if there are challenges ahead, Dr. Harper believes that Harry's choice to prioritize his well-being and family is commendable.
Looking ahead, Prince Harry is expected to return to the UK next May to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games, which will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral.
