Prince Harry has sparked fresh speculation about his future as fans react to his latest move while his father, King Charles, embarks on a milestone trip to Australia. Amid rumors swirling around Harry’s contentment with his life in California, the Duke of Sussex responded with a splash — literally.
A viral video of Prince Harry tackling the waves at Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch in California has caused a fan frenzy, quelling rumors that the Duke is unhappy in the U.S. The video, uploaded by surfing legend Raimana Van Bastolaer on Instagram, shows Harry confidently surfing, battling the Californian waves with skill and determination.
The video was captioned with a heartwarming message: “In Tahiti, we still call you Prince Harry but at Surf Ranch, it’s my Brother. It was an honor to have you surf with me & @kellyslater @michaelanders_ at @kswaveco.”
The video emerged as King Charles was making headlines for his historic trip to Australia, marking a new chapter in his reign. But all eyes were on Harry, who was clearly making waves of his own across the Atlantic.
It’s been reported that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, gifted Harry surfing lessons four years ago, and it seems the Duke has been putting those lessons to good use. Fans of the royal couple were thrilled to see the Duke enjoying life in the U.S., with many taking the video as a sign that Harry has no intention of returning to the UK anytime soon.
One social media user enthusiastically commented, “Prince Harry surfing!!!! The UK is never getting that man back full-time!!” Another quipped, “Then they want to tell us that he is missing ‘the land of beans and rain.’”
The video comes amid claims that Harry has been feeling increasingly isolated in California, with some reports suggesting he has reached out to old friends in the UK. However, the Duke’s relaxed demeanor and clear enjoyment of his surfing adventure appear to have silenced such rumors, at least for now.
As Harry rides the waves in California, his actions seem to send a clear message: despite the speculation, the Duke is embracing his new life and isn’t looking back. Fans, delighted by his latest outing, seem more convinced than ever that the UK won’t be getting him back anytime soon.
