Prince Harry fires parting shot at Royal Family as he cuts ties with the UK - analysis by Svar Nanan-Sen

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as working members of the Royal Family in 2020 and moved to the US later that same year.

For the last few years, the Sussexes have lived in the Californian town of Montecito with their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

However, on Wednesday, documents submitted to Companies House in the UK show that the Duke of Sussex amended his filings for Travalyst to declare he is usually a resident in the US rather than Britain.

Harry founded Travalyst, a global coalition of some of the biggest names in travel, in 2019 when he was based in the UK and a working member of the Royal Family, one year before he relocated to the US with Meghan.

The date the Duke of Sussex selected as the day of his residency changed, appeared to be a parting shot at the Royal Family.

In January 2023, King Charles asked Harry and Meghan to vacate Frogmore Cottage.

The royal residence that Queen Elizabeth II gave the couple in 2018, remained the couple's base in the UK.

Sources said that Harry felt Frogmore was the "only place that’s left as a safe space" for his family in Britain.

However, following the publication of Harry's memoir Spare which contained a plethora of attacks on senior members of the Royal Family including Prince William, Princess Kate and Queen Camilla, the Duke of Sussex was asked to leave the property.

Harry and the King came to an agreement that meant the couple had until July 2023 to vacate Frogmore so that it could be used by the duke when he returned to the UK for the Coronation in May 2023.

Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet did not visit the UK throughout 2023 despite having access to the royal residence for the first half of the year.

The Sussexes have not secured a new UK base since leaving Frogmore Cottage and the couple do not appear to be searching for a new property in Britain.

The couple cleared out all of their belongings and handed back the keys to Frogmore before July 2023.

Therefore, Harry's choice of 29/06/2023 as the date on his documents could easily be interpreted as a dig at the Royal Family for supposedly pushing him away from the UK.

The Duke of Sussex does not appear to have stayed at any royal residences since losing Frogmore.

He was denied a room at Windsor Castle during a trip to the UK in September 2023, with the Royal Family citing a lack of notice as the reason for the denial.

Harry has built a life in the US since moving there in 2020, so changing his residential status may have been just an administrative procedure, however, choosing that specific date in 2023 looks to be yet another swipe at the Royal Family.
