From Royalty to Reality Check: Prince Harry's Hollywood Relaunch Flops as 'Privileged' Duke Nosedives Into Irrelevance

As Prince Harry gears up to walk the Hollywood red carpet to accept the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPY Awards on Thursday, July 11, his private life may tell a different story behind the glamor on display. Although his and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal has picked back up, Prince Harry reportedly finds Hollywood a "lonely place" as he has "no friends." The Duke of Sussex may also be set for a future legal issue.

"You lose friends if you get arrogant. So on purely selfish grounds, I don't believe Prince Harry has one friend. I really don't," American conservative radio talk show host Dennis Prager dished.

"He has acquaintances, I’m sure," he added. "But all of these famous people who love their fame are friendless."

Prager went on to praise the British monarchy before citing Harry and Meghan as two of its biggest problems. "I think that rituals are essential to the survival of a nation or a religion, and that's a very big ritual in British life. But it's very sad to me that they [Harry and Meghan] have the fame that they have."

Prager's insights come amid ongoing reports about the fifth in line to the British throne's admission of taking drugs, both illegal and prescribed, in his 2023 memoir, Spare. The conservative think tank organization, the Heritage Foundation, is calling on the Biden administration to reveal if the fiery-haired prince admitted to such substance use on his visa application in 2020.

"I don’t know why laws would be changed for him," Prager observed when asked if the Duke's royal status may have caused American laws to not have been enforced if he did lie on the document.

During Harry's Good Morning America interview in February, the 39-year-old dad-of-two said: "American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but isn't something that's a high priority for me right now."

"Ultimately, it will be decided by a federal judge, but if those records are released and if it is found that Prince Harry has lied on his application, there will be tremendous public pressure for Harry to be deported from the United States," the Heritage Foundation's director, Nile Gardiner, told an outlet.

The Duke and his wife are generally viewed favorably by left-leaning Americans, and it has been right-leaning GOP outlets and commentary platforms that have run the story about the royal's potential lying on his visa.

Harry has lived with Meghan and their two children in Montecito, Calif., since leaving the royal family in 2020. The Duke's intention of becoming an American citizen could put King Charles III in a position to be "forced" to remove his, and by extension, his wife's royal status. As the reigning sovereign, the King technically has full and sole "ownership" of both Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Diana if he so chooses.
