Prince Harry has embarked on a solo journey, kicking off an eight-day visit to New York and London without his wife, Meghan Markle, by his side.
Experts suggest that the move signals his desire to forge a new path and discover a fresh sense of purpose after he recently turned 40.
Prince Harry will return to his home country in the coming days to support the WellChild charity event, which he has maintained ties with even after he and Meghan quit their roles as working royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have to endure each other’s absence for the next eight days as Harry began an eight-day visit to New York and London alone.
Last night, he attended a dinner put together by the World Health Organization to honor survivors of childhood violence. There, he met other notable dignitaries, including actor Forest Whitaker, several UN Agency Heads, and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, whom he greeted warmly upon arrival.
On his trip to the Big Apple, Harry will also support pet charities and businesses like African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award, and Travalyst before flying to London this weekend for his annual visit to support WellChild at their awards ceremony, still without Meghan.
According to the Daily Mail, royal Biographer Phil Dampier suggested that Harry turning 40 has seemingly forced him to see things from a different perspective.
“Harry sometimes feels like a spare part and he often looks unhappy when he’s out with Meghan at events in California,” Dampier said. “I think he has reached a point where he wants more for himself. He’s turned 40 and must be asking himself what the future holds.”
“I think he’s desperate to find some new meaning to his life, and that seems to involve branching out on his own more,” he shared.
