The Duke of Sussex has updated his official business records in this country to say he resides in the US

US journalist Lee Cohen has branded Harry's change of residence as "staggering" in a scathing analysis of the duke.

This comes as The Duke of Sussex has updated his official business records in this country to say he resides in the US rather than the UK.

"It's staggering that a prince of the blood has declared residence in another country, my country, and has no domicile in the land of his birth, and even has considered taking citizenship in a foreign country.

"If Harry felt disinclined to royal service, all he had to do was withdraw and keep a dignified, respectful silence out of respect for his family.

"Which is family, which is a part of a beloved thousand-year pillar of British society. It's not any family.

"For financial gain, he launched unforgivable public attacks on them, published in his memoirs and accompanying interviews.

"That kind of behaviour isn't appreciated on this side of the Atlantic anymore than it is on your side."

He added: "I have to make the caveat that not everyone, not all of my countrymen and women, feel this way. But those of us who don't read the tabloid, supermarket press are a bit more discerning in this.

"On the one hand, Harry claims to still love his family dearly, as he said in interviews, etc. But in his autobiography, he savages them mercilessly, so it's really not appreciated. The hypocrisy is not appreciated some of us just find it intolerable."
