As the fifth anniversary of Megxit approaches, Prince Harry is reportedly feeling more isolated than ever, following a fresh royal snub that has left him deeply hurt. According to insiders, Harry learned about King Charles III’s recent hospitalization — tied to side effects from cancer treatment — through the media, rather than from the royal family itself.
The Duke of Sussex, who stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with his wife Meghan Markle, is said to be struggling with his estrangement from the monarchy, especially during his father’s ongoing health crisis.

“First he was a spare to William, now he’s increasingly looking like a spare to Meghan — and it’s not a great look,” one source told Marca, suggesting Harry’s role within his own household feels diminished.
Another insider claimed that Harry is “lonelier than ever” and spends most of his time at the couple’s Montecito mansion. “He misses his family terribly, but no one is speaking to him anymore,” the source said. “He just wants to go for a beer with the guys, but his only friends are just the husbands of Meghan’s friends.”
While Harry reportedly yearns for reconnection, Meghan has remained focused on her own projects and public ventures, further fueling speculation that the couple’s dynamic has shifted in recent years.
Royal commentators have noted that Buckingham Palace appears to be deliberately keeping the Duke at arm’s length. King Charles, who was forced to cancel several royal engagements due to his health, reportedly did not personally inform Harry of his hospitalization, raising eyebrows among observers and further straining an already fractured relationship.
Harry’s position within both his royal and personal life appears increasingly uncertain. Once dubbed the “spare” to Prince William, his current situation has led some to suggest he now holds a similar status in his marriage — a claim that has only intensified public scrutiny of the Sussexes’ relationship.
As King Charles battles cancer and the royal family adjusts to shifting dynamics, the Duke of Sussex remains on the outside looking in, with no clear path back into the fold — and no firm footing in his new world.
