Harry said: “I miss my friends … I’ve lost a few friends in this process."

The Times spoke to several former friends of the Duke of Sussex ahead of his 40th birthday next month.

While another said: "He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted. I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more.

"Anyone who knows him feels he’d rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate."

A friend of both Prince William and Prince Harry told the publication: "Harry and Meghan could have left with dignity and decency and not trashed the institution.

"The conclusion is they’ve made money from trashing his family."
