Prince Harry is reportedly “in crisis” and is “clinging on” to his royal status in the US, a royal author has claimed. Tom Bower, who has written several unauthorised biographies on the rich and famous, has made some surprising revelations about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in his upcoming book.

As reported by The Mirror, Bower said both Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, are both trapped in an ongoing struggle in America, where they have lived since stepping back from royal life in 2020. In his upcoming book, Bower claimed: "They have a crisis, Meghan wants to be a billionaire celebrity and Harry doesn't understand that world, other than [understanding that] Meghan wants to be famous.”

Bower also said that Meghan has yet been unable to get the status she desires, with Harry also struggling to cling on to his royal status.

Instead, the author claims Harry is thinking of reconciling with his royal relatives.

He wrote: "She (Meghan) hasn't got the status she craves, she hasn't got the pulling power. He's (Harry) stuck in California clinging on to his royal status, as is she.

“Harry's thinking is of reconciliation. That's just totally unrealistic. There is zero chance of reconciliation because there is irreconcilable anger on the part of William and Kate."

The book, which has not yet been released, is all set to talk about Meghan and Harry in more detail.

While it is believed that Harry would like to be on better terms with his royal relatives, the prince has expressed no desire to ever return to royal life or the UK full time.

Just last year, the duke spoke fondly about his life in the US, where he lives in a sprawling Montecito mansion with Meghan and their two children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

Speaking at The New York Times DealBook Online Summit last year, Harry said: “I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here. It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live.

“I feel as though it's the life that my mum wanted for me. To be able to do the things I'm able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK — it's huge. That is a fantastic opportunity and I'm hugely grateful for that."
