A royal expert has claimed Prince Harry continues to face a ‘ struggle ‘ five years after he and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, embarked on their new life in the US

It’s been more than five years since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, stunned Brits by stepping down as senior working members of the Royal Family.

However, an expert reckons the Duke of Sussex is still facing a “struggle” to find his place beyond the gilded gates of Buckingham Palace, especially in terms of “trying to be a breadwinner” for his wife and children.

Things have inarguably been eventful in the Sussex household since the Duke and Duchess swapped rainy Balmoral retreats for celeb hangouts in sunny Montecito. But has this markedly different pace of life proven to be everything the prince hoped for?

In various snaps shared via Meghan’s recently activated Instagram account, she and Harry appear to be enjoying an idyllic life in California with children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.

But according to Royal historian Marlene Koenig, the father of two, who previously served as a soldier in Afghanistan, could be missing out on professional fulfilment.

Ms Koenig told US Weekly: “I’m not sure if Harry has regrets about leaving, as he is determined to build a new life in the US.

” But he hasn’t been entirely successful, especially in terms of earning money for the family. That seems to have fallen on Meghan. “

The pair got candid in their bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they made it clear they were keen to strike out on their own. Further revelations followed in their 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan.

Harry, 40, went on to publish his ghostwritten memoir Spare, which burst onto bestseller lists at the start of 2023. The Invictus Games founder also went on to take a position with tech startup BetterUp.

Meanwhile, Meghan, 43, showed off her culinary skills in a lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, in addition to her various podcasting pursuits, including the star-studded Confessions Of A Female Founder.

The former actress, who rose to fame playing Rachel Zane on Suits, has also shown entrepreneurial zeal through her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which stocks products such as raspberry spread and herbal teas.

In Ms Koenig’s view, the role of” breadwinner “has fallen on the shoulders of business-savvy Meghan, with the fifth in line to the throne now playing a” supporting role”.

Ms Koenig reflected:” He was always expected to play a supportive but not a supporting role. He may be comfortable in his California home with his wife and two adorable children, but what he hasn’t found yet is the comfort of a success outside at home. “

With this in mind, Ms Koenig compared Harry’s situation with that of his elder brother, Prince William, now the Prince of Wales and King in Waiting.

She argued:” One brother has found his role and knows what he has to do to prepare for his future. The other brother has yet to find the right balance for a successful career away from what he was raised to be. “

If you’re after radiant skin and defined cheekbones in a flash, our beauty editor thinks she’s found just the thing: an easy-to-use highlighter stick from a celebrity’s beauty brand

It seems everyone is after ‘glass skin’ at the moment – that dewy, light reflective sheen to the skin, especially on the high points of the face, that’s universally flattering and youthful. And if you don’t know where to start to achieve this, or the thought of applying lots of layers of skincare puts you off, I think I’ve found the solution.

I’ve never been a big fan of highlighter powders, but I’ve recently come across Haus Labs by Lady Gaga’s Bio Radiant Highlighter Balm, and it’s a total game-changer. This handy crayon-like sticks come in six flattering shades, are super-easy to use, and instantly illuminate the skin in such a flattering way.

Priced at £30 and available from Sephora, these Bio Radiant Highlighter Balms couldn’t be easier to use: simply draw on over or under make-up where required (I like putting them on the tops of my cheekbones and brow bones), then blend slightly with fingers. They can also be used on the eyelids; the tinted shades in particular look lovely on the lids.

My favourite shade is the transparent Pure Glass, which doesn’t add any shimmer or colour, but instead just a lovely luminous glazed look that instantly improves my face in seconds. It’s very similar to the clear end of Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Highlighter and Balm Duo, £50, or Chanel’s Baume Essential in Transparent, £38, and if you’ve always been a bit scared of using highlighter, this is a great place to start; you really can’t got wrong.

Despite initially thinking it wouldn’t suit me, I also really like the Haus Labs Highlighter Balm in Champagne Quartz, and would use this when doing more of a ‘done’ make-up look.

I’ve been really impressed with Haus Labs since trying its viral B Structural Volumizing + Lengthening Mascara, £27, which is the most lengthening mascara I’ve ever tried – in just a few swipes this mascara had my lashes visibly nearly reaching my eyebrows. It also gives dramatic volume – no natural fluffiness here, this is for full-on, spiders’-legs lashes.

For other cheaper alternatives of cream highlighters, you could try Glossier Haloscope Dew Effect Highlighter, £22, the mini version of the Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer, £15, or L’Oréal Paris Lumi Le Glass Stick, currently £8.99.
