PRINCE Harry’s next move is to give up his royal title after cutting ties with Britain and making the US his “new country”, an expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to California in 2020 after deciding to leave the United Kingdom and step down as senior royals.

Harry said this year that he had “considered” US citizenship, which would mean renouncing his royal titles.
And experts fear Harry’s commitment to life in Montecito could signal his willingness to take the next step.
Royal author Phil Dampier believes he may never live in the UK again and said he will not be missed.
The British public “has lost respect for him and considers him the prince of idleness and division”, he added.
Dampier also thinks Harry backdated his US residency to the exact day he and Meghan, 42, were evicted from Frogmore Cottage to reference King Charles and brother William.
HARRY’S LINE OF SIGHT
The main facts:
Harry claimed in his memoir Spare that he took cocaine, marijuana and magic mushrooms.
A conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation says the allegations of drug use call Harry’s immigration status into question.
They took the US government to court demanding the duke’s visa application be made public, to see if he lied about his past drug use.
If he lied, Harry could violate US federal law.
Government lawyers argue that releasing such documents would violate Harry’s privacy and security.
In an update to Company House records filed this week, the Duke of Sussex, 39, declared the United States his “new country” of residence.
However, in business documents filed with his eco-friendly company Travalyst, Harry said he has resided in the US since June 29 last year.
That was the day his father King Charles – supported by Harry’s brother William – ordered him to return the keys to his Windsor hideout.
Dampier believes it is a sign that Harry – who has launched several attacks on the Royal Family – has cut ties with the UK.
He said last night: “As is always the case with Harry, a lot can be read into his actions.
“Being thrown out of Frogmore Cottage hurt him deeply.
“Charles and William knew this needed to be done to emphasize that Harry and Meghan were outside the Firm, but he probably still thought he could maintain a base here.
“Now he has shown that he accepts that his life is in the USA.”
Harry founded Travalyst in 2019 and previously listed himself as resident in the UK.
He is expected to return next month for the ten-year anniversary celebration of his Invictus Games.
Last week, the US government handed over his previous visa application to a court amid allegations that he lied.
Harry confessed last year to drug use, which must be declared.
US presidential candidate Donald Trump warned: “If he lied, they will have to take appropriate action.”
IT’S INEVITABLE
ROYAL photographer Arthur Edwards, 83, told The Sun it was “very sad
The long-time snapper said: “It appears he has backdated his US residency to when he and Meghan left these shores.
“It’s yet another sign that he has indeed severed ties with the royal family. It’s sad, but you know, I suppose it’s inevitable.
“I always said I thought Prince Harry would one day come back here and work for the royal family.
“It now seems pretty certain that he has decided that America is his home and that is where he wants to stay.”
He continued: “One day he may even apply for citizenship. This way, he will have to give up his title – the Duke of Sussex – so he probably won’t get that far.
“But yes, it is very sad because Harry was a very important part of the royal family here and was very loved.
“Everywhere we went, he was just loved. He was absolutely charming, especially with children.
“He was fantastic, but that probably hasn’t changed. Obviously he doesn’t want to spend any more time here.”
Edwards also said that Harry only seems to care about awards and baseball games.
He said: “Harry is approaching 40 now – he’s not a child anymore.
“Instead of going to schools and charities and helping young people with mental health, he goes to award ceremonies, baseball games and polo matches.
“I don’t think it’s real life. I think he was brilliant here and gave a lot.”
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards, 83, told The Sun it is “very sad” that Harry has backtracked on his US residency, but “inevitable”.
The long-time snapper said: “It’s another sign that he’s really cut ties with the royal family.

“It now seems pretty certain that he has decided that America is his home and that is where he wants to stay.”
He continued: “One day he may even apply for citizenship. Therefore, he will have to renounce his title – the Duke of Sussex.”
Arthur emphasized that although he might not go that far, it’s still a possibility.
