Prince Harry spoke at The New York Times Dealbook Summit 2024 in New York City. He stated that his life in the US is what his mother, Princess Diana, would have ‘wanted’ for him.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to Montecito, California four years ago after announcing they would step back as senior royals and work towards financial independence. When asked if he planned to remain in America for good, Prince Harry replied, \”I do. I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here.\”
He added that his family can access a degree of privacy and freedom they \”undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK\” due to concerns around security.
In an interview, Prince Harry spoke about the impact of life in the spotlight on his mental health and on his mother. He mentioned that being trapped within a bubble can feel like there’s no way out, leading to inner turmoil. He recalled feeling helpless as a child after his mother’s death.
He expressed concern that something similar could happen to him, his wife, or their children. For now, Prince Harry stated his focus is on \”being the best husband and the best dad that I can be.\”
When asked about press attention, he made a joke that they had moved house and divorced \”10-12 times.\” He said it’s hard to keep up with but chooses to ignore it.
Prince Harry and Meghan have been open about their decision to leave the Royal Family.
There has been recent news on a car chase in NYC, which was described as relentless by the couple.
