Prince Harry's dependency on Meghan Markle for a social life in Montecito will be taking its toll on the Duke of Sussex, a royal commentator has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex moved to California with his wife shortly after they stepped down as working members of the Royal Family.
Harry is currently involved in a feud with senior members of the monarchy after issuing multiple public attacks on the Firm through TV interviews and his autobiography.
Royal commentator Phil Dampier told Fabulous magazine that the Duke of Sussex is now dependent on Meghan for a social life in the US.

Dampier said: "Not only has he lost his family, his royal status and military connections, but he’s also lost a lot of friends.
"I get the impression he hasn't got a circle of drinking buddies he can unwind within Montecito, which has a population of older people, and I'm sure that takes its toll."
He added: "[Harry] is dependent on Meghan for his social life".
It comes as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will face a challenge of navigating tension when deciding their Christmas plans, according to a relationship expert.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spent the last three Christmas periods away from the UK.
Louella Alderson, a relationship expert claimed that Prince Harry may want to show his children Archie and Lilibet the traditions and customs of the UK.
Alderson said: "It's understandable that there may be some tension between Harry and Meghan over their Christmas plans.
"They have spent the past three Christmases away from Britain, so it's possible that Harry may feel a sense of nostalgia and want to return to his home country for the holiday."

She continued: "It would be natural for him to want to show his children the traditions and customs of his country and his upbringing as they have predominantly grown up in America their whole life.
Alderson added that if Meghan Markle chooses not to spend Christmas in the UK, she should be open to spending future holidays in the country for Prince Harry.
She told the Mirror: "Harry has given up a lot for Meghan and has appeared to put Meghan's needs and desires above his own at times, so it's understandable that he may feel a sense of resentment if she is not willing to do the same for him.
"If they don't spend Christmas in the UK this year, then Meghan should be open to the possibility of spending future holidays in the UK."
