Harry left the U.K. in 2020 in a scandal that has since been dubbed Megxit.

Kieran Elsby suggested that Harry may have underestimated what living life outside of the palace gates would be like.

"Without a doubt, Harry will regret leaving the royal family. There are undisputable advantages to being a part of such a distinguished family, which he will now realize he took for granted," the PR expert said in an interview.

"It's about being part of a legacy that has shaped history," he added. "He needs to ensure he lands on the right side of history, as historically those who have left, haven’t."

"Let's not forget the privileges and lifestyle that being a royal entails. The resources and support that come with the title are luxuries that few can experience," Elsby explained.

"You can see that funding and security have been a major stumbling block for Harry since he left," he added. "The sense of duty and responsibility that comes with being a royal must have provided a deep sense of purpose. Having a role that contributes to society is fulfilling."

Despite Elsby's commentary, Harry hasn't publicly confirmed any level of disappointment with his move to Montecito.

"While we can only speculate about the extent of his feelings, it's clear that the royal family has left an indelible mark on his life, and he must, at times, find himself missing the various aspects that come with that territory," Elsby clarified. "He must regret leaving the family, you can see that his life has got much harder stepping down."

Elsby spoke to The Mirror.
