In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has established the United States as his first home, marking a major change from his British roots. The news, revealed in official documents from his travel company, Travalyst, represents a significant moment in Harry’s journey of personal and family development.
Transatlantic change
The decision to designate the United States as a “new country/country of residence” reflects Harry’s growing distance from the royal family. The move signals his commitment to creating a unique path with his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children, Archie and Lilliebet.

Royal troubles and legal battles
The move of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to California in 2020 marked a watershed moment in their lives, exacerbated by their conflict with the British royal family. Accusations of racism and discrimination have embroiled the pair in permitted disputes over key issues such as security arrangements during their visit to the UK.
Harry says living in America is a move that protects his family’s well-being, especially considering concerns about security laws in his home country. The couple’s former home Frogmore Cottage was said to be their last haven in England.
