Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘useless in self-expectation’ and it would have been ‘great to hear the Duke’ supporting the NHS during the Covid-19 crisis, like the Cambridges, according to a royal biographer.
The Duke (36) and Duchess of Sussex (39) currently live in their $ 14 million California mansion with eighteen-month-old son Archie, who retired from the royal service in March.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers said Prince Harry was “isolated from his family, the army, his friends, the Commonwealth” in the US and told The Telegraph: “This is a senseless existence in self-exile.”
Meanwhile, he compares the Duke’s actions to those of Prince William (38) and Kate Middleton (38) and adds: ‘During the NHS handshake, I thought how it would have been great, after the Cambridges clapped, to hear from him to hear. ‘

Hugo said Prince Harry did ‘such a great job’ and ‘got a lot out of royal life before Megxit.
He explained that the Duke’s success in the army was ‘good for him’, while the Invictus Games were ‘very successful’.
The royal expert said it would have been ‘wonderful’ to hear Prince Harry support the NHS during the Covid-19 crisis, as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did.
His comments come a few days after it emerged that Prince Harry and Meghan want a twelve-month extension of the Megxit agreement, so that they will retain their royal protection and return to the UK to conclude the agreement in person.

The couple hopes to enter into a more permanent agreement to ensure they can continue to work royals who do not work, while maintaining their protection.
The move comes as the couple has secured commercial appearances with Netflix and Spotify over the past few months – a factor that will be closely watched by royal associates as their 12-month review date lies ahead in March.
As part of the negotiations, they will speak during a video chat with senior royals before Prince Harry, possibly accompanied by wife Meghan, will return to the UK to speak in person to helpers and family.
It is claimed the couple want to return in time for the 100th birthday of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.

The latest talks are said to be ‘less confrontational’ than those in Sandringham in January when the Megxit deal was forged, giving a grace period in case they want to return – which expires on March 31.
The Sun on Sunday reports that the couple’s lucrative £ 100 million £ 30m Netflix and Spotify offerings will be judged to ensure they are in line with ‘the values of her majesty’.
Royal biographer Andrew Morton claims that, if coronavirus restrictions allow, they would like to return to Britain for the Queen’s 95th birthday on April 21, the Duke of Edinburgh’s 100th birthday in June and the unveiling of a statue of Princess Diana on July 1, on what would have been her 60th birthday.
“Although they’re going to do some of it through Zoom, Harry wants to meet in person to tie it all up,” he said. Morton said. ‘Things seem to have calmed down.
Harry was in more frequent contact with the queen than you might think. But certain things you personally need to be there to sort out.
‘They’ll need a few weeks. This could be done after April, depending on Covid. ‘
The move comes as the couple has acquired commercial appearances over the past few months with Netflix and Spotify, which will be closely watched by royal assistants as their twelve-month review date lies ahead.
Morton also claims that Harry regretted the way they announced they would retire from their role – shared the news on social media – but that he did not regret his overall decision.
Harry announced an agreement with his family at a Sandringham summit in January after he and Meghan said they wanted to earn their own money.
They left at the end of March and moved to California where they have since bought a £ 11 million mansion and launched their charity organization Archewell.
As a result of the icy Megxit deal, Harry has been deprived of his military roles, which will apparently only be filled by someone new this summer.
It was also said that Harry had fallen out with his brother William, and the couple did not speak for months after the agreement was reached.
But over the past few months, relations between the couple and the rest of the royal family have thawed, while Harry and Meghan have sent gifts to Prince William and his family.
