“You could see it in the way he nervously cracked his knuckles while waiting to address an audience in New York, and in the way he wrung his hands and licked his lips on stage a few days later at the WellChild Awards in London.
“And who could blame him for feeling apprehensive? Because the past fortnight has seen essay a full relaunch on the philanthropic scene, after the score-settling pinnacle – or should that be nadir? – which was his book Spare.
“Published in January 2023, the book earned him a fortune – maybe as much as £25 million – but left his reputation in tatters and his family relationships probably permanently damaged.
“No wonder Harry, who has just turned 40, looked like a man in need of bolstering.”

While Harry was away on his solo tour, Meghan is believed to have stayed at home to look after the couple’s children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. She has not been pictured since before Harry’s 40th birthday.
Rumours are now swirling around about whether the solo trip is the start of Harry professionally.
Royal expert : “At the moment, Harry’s definitely branching out on his own. I think he’s decided that when they went on their trips, certainly the recent trip to Colombia, and before that to Nigeria, you can see that in those situations Meghan is very much the star, and tends to dominate proceedings and tends to attract the attention.
“I think he feels a little bit like a spare part, and I think that’s sort of dawned on him in the last few months, and so I think he’s definitely started to try and strike out on his own.”
