Royal 'Tour' or Regal Bore? Prince Harry Longs for the 'Good Old Days' of Carefree Fun Duke Had Before Marrying Meghan Markle
The Duke of Sussex has been called out for 'looking bored' during his and Meghan Markle's 2024 Colombian trip.
No "salsa spirit" for Prince Harry in Colombia.
The Duke of Sussex looked "bored to tears" during various cultural exhibits for his and Meghan Markle's four-day tour of the South American nation. The "Duke of Glum," "Prince of Pouty" and "Cheer Up Harry" are but just a few of the mocking quips being used to describe the fifth in line to the throne's looks during the pair's "woke pantomime" of a trip.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex toured Colombia for four days in August 2024.
This disconnect has led numerous insiders and analysts to suggest the prince could be longing for his carefree days before marrying Meghan.
"You can clearly see how happier and more vibrant he looked before he married her when compared to the oafish, dour, humorless person we see in him today," a source shared.
"I think he's got a lot of challenges ahead, but I don't think he knows what they are," royal expert Ingrid Seward recently dished about the California transplant and how he is unrecognizable today to his family and former friends. "I think they've lost touch with him, and they don't know who he is now, he doesn't seem like the person who everybody used to know. The fun-loving, sporty, semi-hell-raiser he used to be is no more."
She continued, "He's now into therapy and wellness and changing the world, or trying to, I don't think this is the man he knew."
Harry previously admitted that he didn't support Meghan's mental health struggles well enough.
The rebel Duke is a champion of mental health awareness, but the Duke's own psychological well-being was reportedly "pushed to the max" when choosing Meghan over his own royal family.
"Harry’s mental health has suffered as a result of the break with his family, but Meghan never doubts her decision to stop being a full-time working royal," royal author Tom Quinn told an outlet in May.
Quinn's insights follow Harry's speech that month about the topic where he spoke candidly about "grief and sadness" next to a silent Duchess of Sussex during a discussion at a school in Abuja, Nigeria, on May 10. This came after the fifth in line to the throne's "snub" from his father, King Charles III, who couldn't meet with his youngest son in London on May 8, due to commitments.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were both in the African nation at the invite of the government. The Montecito prince chatted with gathered students by highlighting how mental health is still "something we are relatively unsure of" scientifically, but is universal.

The Duke of Sussex 'looked constipated' trying to play the drums during an event in Colombia next to Meghan Markle, August 17, 2024.
The Duke reportedly finds Hollywood a "lonely place" as he has "no friends."
"You lose friends if you get arrogant. So on purely selfish grounds, I don't believe Prince Harry has one friend. I really don't," American conservative radio talk show host Dennis Prager dished.
"He has acquaintances, I’m sure," he added. "But all of these famous people who love their fame are friendless."
Meghan opened up on claims she wasn't given adequate support for her mental health from the royal family.
