PRINCE HARRY HE SPEAKS TO US TELEVISION IN 2022
PRINCE Harry has changed his country of residence from Britain to the United States.
He filed the official paperwork four years after quitting the palace for his new life abroad.
The Duke of Sussex changed his personal details in connection with Travalyst, his eco-tourism non-profit organisation.
Soon after quitting the UK to move to North America, he declared in January 2020: “The UK is my home and a place that I love. That will never change.”
And only in January last year his lawyers argued Britain was his home.
As the Duke unsuccessfully fought to have his police protection reinstated when in his birth country, they said: “The UK will always be Prince Harry’s home and a country he wants his wife and children to be safe in.” However, a filing at Companies House, seen by the Mirror, reads: “New country/State usually resident: United States.”
The date the change was made is cited as June 29, 2023, although the paperwork was only made public for the first time yesterday.
It was the day Buckingham Palace confirmed publicly that Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42 – now flogging jam under her latest brand American Riviera Orchard – had officially moved out of Frogmore Cottage, leaving them with no permanent UK base.
Since leaving for Canada in late 2019 and then moving to California the following year, the Duke had continued listing his country of residence as Britain.
The Duke and Duchess were asked to move their remaining possessions out of their UK home near Windsor Castle weeks after Harry criticised the Royal Family in his memoir Spare, which was published in January 2022.
Months later, despite what his legal team had said, he told America’s NBC network that the US was his home. He said: “Home for me, now, for the time being, is in the States. And it really feels that way, we’ve been welcomed with open arms.” The paperwork change comes as Harry is at the centre of a court case over his US visa and revelations in his book of drug misuse.
Usually, such an admission bars someone from entering the United States.
Pressure has been placed on Joe Biden’s government to release Harry’s immigration records after campaigners seized on comments made by the American ambassador to London that he would not be deported while the Democrat was US president.
A judge has been handed Harry’s visa files before he determines whether they should be made public.
THE Prince of Wales has given his support to those bereaved by suicide in the Armed Forces, urging family and friends to not suffer in silence.
William, 41, wrote a foreword to a series of free guides that were published yesterday by Suicide Bereavement UK.
He says: “Please know that you are not alone. Catherine and I have met many bereaved families and know the power that comes from sharing experiences, even in the most tragic of circumstances.
“The stigma of suicide can prevent those affected from seeking help.” William, who served in the Army and as an RAF search and rescue pilot, returns to official duties tomorrow, visiting a food charity and a youth centre. They are his first engagements since wife Kate, 42, revealed her chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
