FROM stepping back as a senior working royal to moving to California, Prince Harry’s life looks unrecognisable to how it looked a few years ago.
And the Duke of Sussex’s friendship group has also undergone a shift too.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had an eventful few years after tying the knot in 2018

Relations are said to be strained between Prince Harry and Prince William
While he rubs shoulders with countless A-listers at red carpet and high profile events, he is said to have lost touch with some of his close pals.
From the Beckhams to his brother Prince William, Harry isn’t as close as he once was to some of his inner circle.
And this comes as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly ‘going their own ways’ as they increasingly live ‘separate lives’, according to royal experts.
Here’s who Prince Harry has fallen out with, since tying the knot with Meghan in 2018…
Kate and Wills
They were once dubbed the ‘Fab Four’, but those days are far behind us now, with Prince Harry and William not being on speaking terms.
In August, they both attended the funeral of Lord Robert Fellowes, who was their mother Diana’s brother-in-law, but didn’t say a word to one another.
Royal expert Phil Dampier told Fabulous: “They are as far apart as ever and William’s priority is to look after Kate as she recovers from abdominal surgery and to step up his royal duties to cover for the King.
“But it does seem odd that Harry likes flying in and out for less than two days.
“He did the same with the Coronation and it looks as though he is just not interested in seeing any of his old friends.
“He has become Harry No Mates as far as the UK is concerned.
“This may be because some of his friends in England didn’t take to Meghan and he resented it so he has cut them out of his life.”
The Beckhams

The Beckhams were once close to the Sussexes, but their relationship is said to have cooled off
The Beckhams and Sussexes have enjoyed a close friendship over the years, but cracks are said to have formed in the last few years.
In 2018, the Duke of Sussex allegedly called David to accuse him and his wife Victoria of leaking stories, leaving David ‘furious.’
David was also “snubbed” by Harry after flying for 22 hours from London to Sydney at the royal’s request, for the 2018 Invictus Games.
Dominic West

Prince Harry and actor Dominic West – who both took part in the Virgin Money South Pole Allied Challenge 2013 expedition – are no longer close
Prince Harry has also reportedly cut ties with his actor pal Dominic West.
The Duke is alleged to have “thrown a s*** fit” after West claimed the pair drunk champagne from a prosthetic leg.
Harry has reportedly not spoken to The Crown star since he made the claims in 2014, according to the Daily Mail.
Speaking in 2022, a pal of West’s said: “He accused Dominic of invading his privacy. Dominic told him not to be ridiculous.
“They haven’t spoken since.”
Prince Harry has ‘built his own tribe’ across the pond, claims expert
PRINCE Harry has “built his own tribe” across the pond to provide “emotional support”, following falling out with his family, claims an expert.
Behavioural expert Darren Stanton revealed that it makes sense why the Duke of Sussex has worked on creating a second family across the pond.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, he claimed to Fabulous: “When people feel isolated, they create their own tribes around them.
“When it comes to Prince Harry, it’s clear he’s built his own tribe in America.
“Obviously people like to have infrastructure and support when it comes to their close relationships.
“It’s a basic need, as well to interact with other people.
“For whatever circumstances, some people are forced to live away from their family.
“But in the same token, people need support and love around them, therefore creating their own sense of community.”
West’s anecdotes relate to a 2013 trek to the South Pole the pair did in aid of veterans’ charity Walking for the Wounded.
Sources claim Harry was so enraged by the comments he not only cut ties with West but allegedly dislikes anyone who is friends with him.
West, who plays King Charles in The Crown, has said of their shattered friendship: “We sort of [lost touch because] I said too much in a press conference, and so, we didn’t speak after that.”
He admitted in a later interview he “probably said too much” about their trek celebrations.
Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip

Prince Harry and Eton pal Tom Inskip have had their differences, but are said to have reconciled recently
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!:”I think we can say that it must be tough for Harry to have lost touch with virtually all his old circle of friends as well as his family.
“But we must assume that he feels that sacrifice is worth it for the life he now has with the woman he loves and the children he adores.”
One of these close home friends is said to be Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip, who Harry has been friends with since his Eton days.
According to royal biography Finding Freedom, Tom shared doubts about how quickly Harry and Meghan’s relationship was moving and told Harry he should live with Meghan before “doing anything more serious”.
Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claimed Tom’s advice “came from a good place”, Harry “didn’t totally see it that way”.
Despite their close friendship, Skippy was “punished” by not being invited to Harry’s evening wedding party at his royal wedding in 2018.
It has reported the pair have since reconciled.
Who was at Prince Harry’s 40th ‘lads’ holiday?’

He then left his wife and kids to go on a “weekend getaway” with a few close friends, sources told The Sun.
