Prince Harry's five close UK friends that 'homesick' duke longs to return to

3 weeks ago 9

Prince Harry is reportedly house hunting in the UK, hoping to split his time between there and the US. However, this surprising decision has created tension between him and his wife, Meghan Markle.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to the US in 2020 following their departure from the Royal Family, which was prompted by tensions between the couple and the Firm.

Ever since then, their relationship with the Royal Family has been extremely rocky as the couple released various public bombshells about relatives over the years.

Harry released his tell-all memoir, Spare, last year, revealing lots of intimate details about the royal family, which resulted in the King evicting the pair from their former UK home of Frogmore Cottage.

The book's release has impacted not only Harry's relationship with his family but also his inner circle, leading to a further reduction in his friend group. Some friends have reportedly felt pressured to take sides between him and his brother, Prince William.

Although there are five of Harry's closest allies who have remained loyal to him throughout his feud with the royal family.

Tom 'Skippy' Inskip has been a friend of Harry's since the pair attended Eton together, and frequently enjoyed nights out together when they were younger.

Tom's father Owen Inskip, and King Charles are also good friends.

The pair previously fell out over Meghan as Tom did not believe she was a suitable wife, however they reconnected following the birth of Prince Archie and the death of Tom's mother-in-law.
