Prince Harry is 'stay-at-home dad without much to do' after quitting royal family

Despite his ongoing family feud, Prince Harry has expressed a desire to fix the relationship, particularly in light of his father's cancer diagnosis.

In an explosive interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex shared his wish for reconciliation, stating, "Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has... but it would be nice to reconcile. I would love reconciliation with my family, there's no point in continuing to fight anymore."

However, before any reconciliation can occur, experts suggest Harry must first establish his new identity.

In the Channel 5 documentary titled Harry: Can He Ever Be Forgiven?, commentators argue that Prince Harry finds himself in a challenging position, having no defined role within the royal family or in the United States

Politician and author Ann Widdecombe poses the question, "How is he spending his life?" She adds, "What is the aim? I've heard people say that he's a stay-at-home dad without much to do... possibly? Even Harry must occasionally ask himself, 'Where is all this going?'"

Widdecombe isn't alone in her belief that the Duke of Sussex is grappling with his identity after leaving the royal family and the U.K.

Psychotherapist and author Emma Reed Turrell suggests, "I think Harry is up against a universal challenge, which is one of identity. Who am I? Who was I? Who am I becoming? Who am I allowed to be? What will be acceptable?"

"We can all relate to that - when people leave any kind of institution, there is a huge transition that happens for someone as they re-enter the atmosphere and look for purpose again and look for identity."

The remarks emerged following Prince Harry's torrent of criticism following his explosive BBC interview. In it, he exhibited clear dismay following his defeat in a court case concerning his government-funded security.

Throughout the candid chat, the father-of-two stressed his inability to return to the U.K. with his family citing safety concerns, a predicament deepened by his recent legal loss. Moreover, he alluded to the haunting parallel with his mother, Princess Diana's untimely death.

Addressing the denial of state-sponsored protection, Harry asserted, "I don't want history to repeat itself - from the disclosure process I've discovered that some people want history to repeat itself, which is pretty dark."
