Prince Harry appears to be in high spirits after returning to the United Kingdom, and one royal commentator believes his cheerful mood says a lot about how he really felt during his years overseas.
The Duke of Sussex has reportedly spent the past few weeks back on British soil, focusing on his charity commitments. After roughly six years away, he is said to be visibly relaxed and glad to be home.
Speaking to the Mirror, royal commentator Jennie Bond said Harry himself described his first weeks back as eventful, and she agreed that the description fits. She pointed to a message from the Palace about the couple's status as private citizens, which reportedly caught them off guard. In her view, "surprised" may be a polite way of saying they were actually angry.
She also noted that trouble with the children's school run must have been upsetting for the whole family. Even so, she said Harry and Meghan seem to be keeping a low profile and getting on with daily life, while Harry has looked cheerful at his charity events.
Bond admitted she had assumed Harry was settled and content under the California sun. His openness about being glad to return, however, suggests he missed many things about Britain. She added, with a touch of humour, that he may even have missed the weather.
