Prince Harry feared he was going ‘to be left on the shelf’ and ‘hated being alone’ before dating Meghan Markle, royal biographer claims

Royal biographer Katie Nicholls claims the 34-year-old was ‘lonely’ before meeting Meghan Markle, who he married last May following a whirlwind romance.

She revealed Harry’s inner turmoil in her 2017 biography ‘Harry: Life, Loss and Love’.

Katie claims the dad-to-be feared he’d be ‘left on the shelf’, and dreaded Sunday nights home alone.

After Prince William and Kate Middleton moved to Norfolk in 2014, Prince Harry became increasingly lonely and worried for his own future, Katie says.

She wrote: “Harry felt detached, lonely, and ‘rudderless’, and according to a friend he dreaded Sunday nights.

“He’d say ‘William’s got so boring,’ when in fact William was living the life I think Harry wanted for himself.

“I think he was worried he was going to be left on the shelf.

“He told me he hated being alone, especially on Sunday nights.”

Close to Prince William, Katie says Prince Harry felt lost after his brother moved to Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, with Kate Middleton in 2014.

The brothers had always been close, particularly after losing their mother, Princess Diana, so young, but the dynamic changed when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge moved to Norfolk.

Katie wrote: “At the time, Harry was living in Nottingham Cottage, William and Kate’s former starter home at Kensington Palace.

“Before Prince George’s birth, the trio had lived across the courtyard from each other and Harry was often at Nott Cott, as it was affectionately known.

“[Harry] had become very close to Kate, who helped to fill some of the emotional void in his life.”

While he was happy for his brother, Katie claims there were feelings of resentment that William had carved out his own life.

Katie quoted a source, who revealed: “Harry would often suffer really bad spells of loneliness. He was prone to bouts of feeling very low.

“He felt he had lost his partners in crime, especially William.

“He was happy that his brother was married and had a family, of course, but he missed their friendship and at points he was very, very bitter about it.”

But now Prince Harry is following in his brother’s footsteps, and is due to settle down and start a family with Meghan Markle, 37.

The Sussex’s are due to move into Frogmore Cottage to raise Baby Sussex, following a multi-million revamp, amid rumours of a feud between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. 

And there’s been discussion of formally dividing their estates to focus on their own interests and families.

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get ready to welcome their new-born, there’s been talk they might shun British private schools in favour of American ones.

And as he gets ready to become a parent, sources claim he's ‘knuckling down’ and reading parenting books.

But he wasn’t always so settled, with a new documentary claiming the ‘party Prince’ racked up a £30k bill in Vegas – but didn’t pay a penny.
