Prince Harry says he and wife Meghan Markle have no plans to move back to Britain with their family.

The Duke of Sussex said he ‘very much enjoys’ living in the US with Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

Asked if he plans to remain in America ‘for good’, Harry said ‘I do’ and added that he feels as though an American life is ‘the life my mum wanted’ for him.

He said he and his family are afforded a level of privacy in the US, as well as being able to take part in activities they ‘undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK’ because of security concerns.

Harry described his life in the public eye and royal family as being ‘trapped within this bubble’, which impacted his mental health.

He added he is currently focusing on ‘being the best husband and the best dad that I can be’.

Speaking at The New York Times Dealbook Summit on Wednesday, he said: ‘I think again, when you are kind of trapped within this bubble, it kind of feels like there’s no way out.

‘What happened to my mom and the fact that I was a kid and felt helpless, there comes the inner turmoil. I felt helpless.

‘One of my biggest weaknesses is feeling helpless.’

The duke added that what concerned him the most was ‘worrying that would happen to me, or to my wife, or to my kids’, referencing Princess Diana’s 1997 death in Paris as paparazzi chased her car through the French city.

Meanwhile, Meghan attended a different event on Wednesday night – the Paley Gala honouring actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry in Los Angeles.

Harry took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection when in the country.

The decision led the duke to fight for it to be restored in a series of court proceedings, with the High Court rejecting his case in February.

In a judgment in February, retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane rejected the duke’s case and concluded Ravec’s approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair.

The duke’s initial bid to bring an appeal was refused after he lost a High Court challenge over the decision, but he can now take his case directly to the Court of Appeal.
