Prince Harry has “burned his bridges” forever after dramatically giving up his residency in Britain, a royal photographer has said.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, has declared America his home in new papers declaring that his “new country/state” is now “the United States”.

Now, respected photographer Arthur Edwards, who has been photographing the royal family since 1977, has weighed in on Harry's new homeland, saying the company didn't like the decision to turn his back on the UK.

“[The loss of] “Frogmore was a very small part of it, and was probably an excuse when he left the UK to make his home in North America.” The sun said.

“By signing this document that says he is now a resident of the United States, he may have burned his bridges but I live in hope. I loved working with him. I thought he was a really special person.”

“I'm very sad about it. But it seems inevitable. His kids are American, his wife is American, and he lives there, but it's a sad occasion.”

“You can say good riddance because he was nothing but a thorn in their side but he is the prodigal son, and the prodigal son has returned so I will keep my fingers crossed.”

In 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, moved to the United States, where they now live with their children Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2, in Montecito, California, in a move dubbed “Megxit.”

The couple were subsequently evicted from their UK home, Frogmore Cottage, which was gifted to them by the late Queen following their 2018 wedding.

They finally vacated it in June 2023, leaving them without official UK residency.

Now, when they visit the UK, they have nowhere to stay and must stay with friends or in a hotel – something Harry chose to do during his whirlwind trip to London in February.

Furthermore, the Sussexes lost their bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection, meaning they will now have to pay out of pocket for their security when traveling across the pond.

During an interview with “Good Morning America” ​​in February, Harry said he loved life in California so much that he was considering officially becoming a US citizen.

“It's amazing,” he said of life in the Golden State. “I love every day.”

When asked what's stopping him, Harry said: “I have no idea. Here I am doing this… This idea has crossed my mind, but it's not a top priority right now.”
