Prince Harry Is ‘Full of Swagger’ Ahead of U.K. Return: It’s ‘Really Aggravating’ for Prince William

Prince Harry is enraging his estranged brother, Prince William, even more by being incredibly self-righteous and confident ahead of his big move back to the U.K., a source tells Examiner.

“William says this is obviously a case of Harry having to come back with his tail between his legs because he couldn’t hack it in America the way he thought he could,” explains the source. “But Harry has loudly been proclaiming the opposite to all their mutual friends.”

As Examiner previously reported, the Duke of Sussex, 41, has been emboldened by his reconciliation with his father, King Charles III, and is done rolling over to appease William, 44.

“He’s full of swagger and telling people that he’s thrilled to finally have things back on track with his father, that he’s got the king’s blessing and he’s got the support of the Spencers as well,” the source says of Harry and William’s late mother Princess Diana‘s side of the family. “It’s all systems go.”

On Wednesday, August, 19, the New York Times reported that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are returning to the U.K. with their two young children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, in the upcoming weeks after stepping down as senior working royals in 2020.

“He’s missed his friends and his life in the U.K. and seems full of optimism about how this is going to go, which is really aggravating for William,” admits the source. “Harry has gone and caused all this damage and instead of being punished for it, he’s being welcomed back with open arms.”
