Prince Harry<\/a> \u201cmisses\u201d the lifestyle of being a royal, a former Palace butler has said. The Duke of Sussex, alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, quit royal duties in 2020, leaving the UK and their royal responsibilities behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While the couple seem more than happy with their life in Montecito, America<\/a>, with their two children, a former royal butler has said he thinks Harry misses the royal lifestyle. Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles between 2004 and 2011, said this includes maintaining a regular engagement schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking to JoeFortune<\/a>, the former royal butler said: \u201cI imagine this tour would be similar to ones they\u2019ve done since quitting the Royal Family, a kind of celebrity royal tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis means it looks very similar to a royal tour in all aspects – the same kind of engagements, the same meetings and photo ops – but it\u2019s not arranged through the governments. I think they are trying to be \u2018celebrity royals\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey want the celebrity lifestyle and the freedom that brings, but I think Harry misses his old lifestyle of regular engagements, shaking hands and meeting people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry and Meghan will carry out royal engagements together and apart in Australia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A spokesperson for the couple said just weeks ago that they “will visit Australia in mid-April to take part in a number of private, business and philanthropic engagements\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On this visit, it was announced that the couple were expecting their first child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
