Prince Harry 'wanted out' of the Royal Family years before leaving – but stayed for one relative

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are caught up in a legal tussle that could see them lose their lavish £12 million Montecito home, as the controversy over the Duke of Sussex's US visa intensifies. In a bold move last year, the Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit demanding that the Biden administration disclose Harry's US visa records, particularly to clarify if his self-confessed drug use was ever mentioned.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in the spotlight again after their three-day Invictus Games trip to Nigeria earlier this month. The visit, which was branded a "mini royal tour" by some critics came hot on the heels of Harry's solo whirlwind stop in the UK for a ten-year anniversary celebration of the event in London.

One of the Royal Family's closest friends is counting down to his wedding day, but it has not been without its fair share of questions when it comes to the guest list. The Duke of Westminster, 33, will marry Olivia Henson later this year in what has been dubbed 'the society event of the year'.

Following on from Prince Harry's most recent return to the UK, a debate has been sparked about whether the Duke was invited to stay at a royal residence - something which have made it easier for Harry to have a brief meeting with his father. While representatives from both parties claim different conversations took place, it has been reported that Prince Harry rejected the offer to stay at a residence such as St James's Palace, Clarence House or Buckingham Palace over fears for his security.This decision, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond points out exclusively to OK!, is difficult to understand.

The Royal Family have cancelled a string of upcoming engagements, following Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's call for an early UK general election this July. Although the King and Queen's D-Day 80th anniversary appearances in Portsmouth and Normandy in June are expected to go ahead as scheduled, there is now major disruption with other events in the forthcoming royal diaries.

Prince Harry seems to be getting the cold shoulder from King Charles and Prince William, a royal author has suggested. The Duke of Sussex's bond with his family has been on thin ice, particularly after he and Meghan Markle decided to step away from their senior royal duties in 2020.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to celebrate their sixth anniversary of marriage on Sunday, 19 May, and the pair look more loved-up than ever of late. The pair first met on a blind date in 2016, with a smitten Harry popping the question a year later, in 2017.
