Unraveling Harry's Journey in the US

Adjusting to a New Life

On December 4th, the Duke of Sussex, now 40 years old, opened up about this new chapter in his life during a conversation with Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times DealBook Online Summit. When asked about his desire to stay in the US, especially considering concerns for his safety in the UK, Harry was clear. He said, "I do. I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here. It's a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live." This new life offers him opportunities that he wouldn't have had in the UK. It's a chance to create memories and experiences with his children that he never thought possible.For instance, being able to engage in activities with them that are unique to the US environment. They can explore different cultures, make new friends, and have a different upbringing compared to what they would have had in the UK.

Dealing with Media Disinformation

During the summit, Harry also spoke about the issue of disinformation in the media and its impact. He shared his past experiences and how it affected him as a child. "I've seen stories written about myself not exactly based in reality," he said. "When you grow up with that environment, you find yourself questioning the validity of the information, but also what other people are thinking as well, and how dangerous it can be over the course of time." This shows the challenges he and his family face in the public eye and the importance of addressing such issues.He continued, "I think again, when you are kind of trapped within this bubble, it kind of feels like there’s no way out. What happened to my mom and the fact that I was a kid and felt helpless, there comes the inner turmoil. I felt helpless. One of my biggest weaknesses is feeling helpless." This highlights the emotional toll that such experiences can take.

Family and Holidays

Meghan, 43, has also opened up about her love for spending the holidays with her family. In an interview with Marie Claire, she noted that "every year it gets better." At first, as a mom with young children, she was just enjoying their presence. But now, as they grow older, she can't wait to see the world through their eyes. This shows the importance of family and the joy that comes with creating memories together during the holidays.Prince Harry's move to the US and his experiences have had a significant impact on his life and that of his family. It's a journey that continues to unfold and one that is closely watched by many.
