Prince Harry has "no interest" in returning to resume royal duties in Britain and plans to stay in the US, according to sources.

The Duke of Sussex was reportedly linked with a return to the UK nearly five years after he and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex stepped down from their roles as royals and moved to California with their children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three. 

Prince Harry has maintained contact with his old friends, and been in contact with the King to try and help repair their relationship, which prompted speculation he was looking to return to the royal fold. According to the Mail on Sunday, the Duke had turned away from his "Hollywood publicists" and was texting former confidantes ’from his old life’ on how to plan a return from the US.

But, according to the Daily Telegraph, multiple sources close to the Duke said he is happy and settled in California and has "no interest" in returning to resume royal duties in the UK. They also said Harry has an ’"amazing" new set of friends in the United States and several projects on the horizon.

Sources added they were surprised at the suggestion Prince Harry might one day return to royal duties and claimed they were "unaware" of a reported "blueprint" to try and come back to the UK. Prince Harry is preparing to turn 40 next year and made no secret of his desire to repair his relationship with the King. However, repairing the relationship with his brother seems unlikely as contact has all but stopped, according to reports.

It comes as further reports have suggested that Harry is feeling "more and more isolated" after spending his and Meghan Markle’s much-anticipated Colombia trip in his wife’s shadow. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled to the South American nation in mid-August in what was dubbed a DIY royal tour.

The trip saw Meghan take centre stage on several occasions, especially when she gave a speech on female empowerment during an event for Afro-Colombian women. And according to one royal expert, the whole trip to Colombia was "created about Meghan" - especially at one of the formal lunches they attended.

Matt Wilkinson, The Sun’s royal editor, told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat: "A lot of it was about Meghan. A lot of the images and the words sent out to us via the [Sussex] press office, [not] just by a pool reporter… it was all about Meghan. The whole thing was created about Meghan.
