Prince Harry is not "especially comfortable with the celebrity world" he has found himself in since settling in the US with Meghan Markle, a royal commentator has suggested.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to Montecito, California, in 2020 after stepping down as working royals.
Five years after the big move, Harry is "coming to recognise" that he is struggling to integrate into the California celebrity scene, commentator Jennie Bond has claimed.
"I think he is coming to recognise that the LA celebrity world is one in which he is not especially comfortable," Bond observed.

To that end, the Duke of Sussex appears happy for his wife to be their public-facing side in that realm and "take the limelight".
Otherwise, Bond felt Harry remained focused on the traditional royal role of a "life of service", which she believes he continues to demonstrate.
The expert's analysis comes as Harry returned from his trip to Angola for The Halo Trust, where he oversaw the continued efforts to rid the central African nation of landmines.
His visit, where he walked a minefield, mirrored a similar trip by his later mother, Princess Diana, to Angola in 1997 to raise awareness of the issue.

"I think this is precisely the sort of work that Harry should do," Bond continued to tell The Mirror.
She added: "It is not only a hugely worthwhile cause, but it also connects him with his mother, which is something he yearns for."
While in Angola, the Duke said: "As a father to young children, it breaks my heart to see innocent children still living and playing next to minefields."
The prince, who has two children with Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, added: "All of us have a duty to protect children and future generations from the harms of war, both present and past."

On the site of a cleared minefield, Harry led a landmine safety education session for children in the remote village of Mawano.
During the lesson, he explained the instructions in Portuguese, teaching local children how to recognise and avoid landmines.
Harry's trip also marked the securing of a three-year commitment from the Angolan Government to support landmine clearance.
The Duke praised Angola's President João Lourenço on de-mining efforts.

"This commitment is about more than removing deadly devices. It's about unlocking potential in a country that has so much—enabling children to walk to school safely, allowing farmers to grow crops, attracting sustainable development and bringing back wildlife tourism," he said.
This renewed partnership builds on earlier support announced during the Duke's 2019 visit with Halo.
Since then, over 20,000 landmines have been cleared in the Cuando Cubango region alone, with the support of the Angolan Government.
At a war memorial in Cuito Cuanavale, Harry issued a call to action: "I urge all donors to stand with Angola in finishing the job. This is not just about landmines. It's about healing the last wounds of war and giving future generations the peace they deserve."
