Prince Harry backdated his US residency after losing the "only place in the UK he felt safe" to bring his children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the US in 2020 shortly after stepping down as working members of the Royal Family.


The couple were allowed to keep Frogmore Cottage as their UK base for several years.

However, in 2023 King Charles evicted Harry and Meghan from the royal residence.

According to The Telegraph, Harry and Meghan viewed Frogmore Cottage as the "only place that’s left as a safe space" for them and their children in the UK.

The couple had barely stayed at the property as they live in a Californian mansion in Montecito with their two children.

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.

Prince Harry founded Travalyst, a global coalition of some of the biggest names in travel, in 2019, one year before he relocated to the US with his wife Meghan Markle.

Royal commentator Phil Dampier told The Sun regarding Harry's move: "As always with Harry a lot can be read into his actions.
