And now, it has been reported those very same feelings could be the catalyst to persuade the 36-year-old prince to finally head back to the UK.
According to Express, a royal expert has suggested that the recent comments of one of Harry’s former army seniors could pressure him into heading home.

Referring to an article in British publication Sunday People, royal analyst Penny Junor recently said that General Sir Richard Dannatt's comments could pressure Harry into heading home.
“He makes his own choices but we miss him and I hope that in a change of circumstances, that I can’t envisage, he returns to take up more traditional royal duties,” Richard reportedly said.
Richard went on to say that it was a terrible shame that there is now a disconnect between Harry and his military role, in which previously helped injured or troubled veterans.
He said: “Harry and Meghan are very much involved in other things and that’s their life choice and I don’t criticise them for that.

"But it means that he is not as available, not supporting in such a high-profile fashion, the work of charities and the needs of veterans."
Richard’s comments came after it was reported Prince William had been forced to replace Harry after the Duke of Sussex allegedly 'crossed the line'.
William will reportedly replace Harry as Captain General of the Royal Marines, a role the Duke of Sussex was reluctant to let go of.
While it was initially reported the title would be reserved for Harry, as he undertook a 12-month trial away from the Firm, recent events may have prompted the move.
Rumor has it Harry’s (right) comments on the upcoming US presidential election may have led to William taking over his Captain General role.

Express reported that senior Royal Navy sources confirmed William would take over the role, after it was presumed Harry would not return to the UK.
Speaking of the decision, royal correspondent Richard Palmer added that Harry’s comments on the upcoming US presidential election may have sealed the deal.
“The Sussexes’ intervention in the US presidential election, no matter how carefully worded, was deemed by palace officials to have crossed a line,” Richard said.
“It’s likely to have effects.”
Harry and Meghan fled to the US earlier this year, after stepping down as senior royals in March.
