PRINCE Harry was somebody in the UK but is now just another Brit living in America, says The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, has finally severed all ties with Britain as he declares “New Country/State Usually Resident” on US docs.

In official files, which previously documented his primary home as the UK, Harry has since listed his £11m California mansion as his main residence.

It has been revealed that the exiled Prince changed his official status to American resident on the same day wife Meghan, 42, and himself were evicted from Frogmore Cottage.

King Charles, supported by Prince William, ordered him to return the keys to what was his UK base when making the rare transatlantic trip over.

The Sun’s royal photographer, Arthur Edwards, said Charles’ youngest was “so loved” and can’t believe Harry has made the damning decision to become a nobody.

He said: “You’re using all your knowledge on the Royal Family to humiliate them as best you can and it’s not right.

“If you want to backdate to America, fine. But you know you in Britain you were somebody.

You could do anything you wanted here you were so loved. I think you had a lot to give to this country and sadly that’s not the case anymore.

“Over there you’re just another celebrity. That’s all you are.

“And alright you’ve got your lovely big house, and you’ve got your big cars and your private planes.

“But you still have to worry where you’re parking, you didn’t have to worry about that here.

“You never used to worry about getting tickets for the Cup Final, you didn’t have to worry about that.

“You could do anything you wanted here you were so loved. Well you know, good luck, but I wish you were back here personally.

“I think you had a lot to give to this country and sadly that’s not the case anymore.”

Arthur told how the current state of affairs is “inevitable” yet “a sad occasion”.

He added: “They’ve [Harry and Meghan] left a wake of nasty stories about the Royal Family, if he only realised he was part of it for many years.

“Him and William were so close, they did everything together, they supported each other through everything.

“That rift now doesn’t seem possible to be healed and that’s very sad.

“Frogmore was a very small part of it, probably an excuse when he left the UK to make his home in North America.

A timeline of Prince Harry and William’s ‘feud’

BROTHERS “at war”

In 2018, the Sun told how “simmering tension” began when William questioned the speed of Harry and Meghan’s engagement.

The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.

Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.

He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.

The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.

Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.

The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.

Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.

The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.

The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.

Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.

The move further increased rumours of a fallout.

Harry, 39, also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.

It came after Prince Philip called Meghan the “D.O.W” after the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcee who led Edward VIII to abdicate.

And he warned the late Queen to be “cautious” of Harry’s then bride-to-be, a royal author claims.

Ingrid Seward revealed in new book My Mother And I that Prince Philip felt it was “uncanny…how much Meghan reminded him of the Duchess of Windsor”.

In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.

Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.

In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.

Last year Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan.

In his book Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.

Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.

He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.

In January this year, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.

Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.

“By signing this document saying he’s now a resident of the U.S, he’s probably burnt his bridges but I live in hope.

“I loved working with him. I thought he was someone really special.

“I’m quite sad about it. But it seems inevitable, his two kids are American, his wife is American, he lives there, but it’s a sad occasion.

“You could say good riddance because he’s been nothing but a thorn in their side but he is the prodigal son, and the prodigal son did return so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.”

But fellow royal expert, Charles Rae, told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show how the duchess “blew it” for herself and Harry.

Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, Rae claimed the Sussexes had potential to be hailed in the same way as Britain’s beloved Prince of Wales and Princess Kate.

However when talking about the opportunity to be welcomed back by the Royal Family, he added: “I think that ship has sailed.

“They were lorded at one time, there was great hopes for the pair of them.

“I think she just threw it into their faces at the end.”

The couple announced Megxit in 2020, when they stepped down as senior royals.

They relocated to their £11million Montecito mansion in California with their son Archie.

It boasts nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms as well as a sauna, gym, games room and arcade.

VISA ROW

It comes as Harry is fighting to stop the release of immigration papers after concerns were raised over his visa application.

His case was sparked after Harry claimed in his memoir Spare he took coke, weed and magic mushrooms.

The Heritage Foundation argue that releasing the documents will prove if Harry lied about his past drug use on his visa application.

If the duke was dishonest, he could be in breach of US federal law and should lose his immigration status.

But lawyers for the US government argued Harry’s drug claims in the explosive book “is not proof” he actually took them.

And, the Department for Homeland Security, which oversees immigration, stated making Harry’s documents public would breach his privacy.

The DHS has also claimed Harry still has a right to privacy even though he is a celebrity.

Judge Carl Nichols asked officials to hand over the documents in March, saying their privacy argument was “insufficiently detailed”.

The Heritage Foundation’s lawyer Samuel Dewey earlier accused the US government of “providing special treatment to celebrities” to enter the US.

On Monday a US ambassador said Harry would not be deported from the US, whatever the outcome of the trial.
