totally “dependent” on wife Meghan Markle “for his social life,” according to a royal expert.Since stepping back as senior members of the royal family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hightailed it across the pond in a bid to start afresh.Since uprooting his life and starting from scratch in Montecito, Calif., the duke has apparently done the same with his friendships.And royal author Phil Dampier claims that Harry now relies on his wife’s friendships for a lot of his social interactions in the Golden State.“I get the impression he hasn’t got a circle of drinking buddies he can unwind within Montecito, which has a population of older people, and I’m sure that takes its toll,” Dampier told Fabulous Magazine (via The Mirror).“Not only has he lost his family, his royal status and military connections, but he’s also lost a lot of friends,” he said, adding that there has been “a massive cost for Harry” leaving his home soil.Dampier says that the duke, 39, now depends on Markle, 42, “for his social life.”The expert’s comments echo that of Grant Harrold, who worked for the monarch for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales.Harrold recently claimed that Harry has cut all ties with friends he once shared with brother Prince William.“I know quite a few of Harry’s friends, who don’t hear from him at all now,” Harrold remarked.The duke was famously a no-show at his friend Jack Mann’s wedding in July — despite him being in the wedding party at their own nuptials.The Sussexes’ absence came as a surprise to guests, especially since Mann — who is a longtime polo friend of Harry’s — appeared in the “band of brothers” photo at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018.Mann, who was reportedly known as Harry’s “unofficial best man,” has

consecutive attacks on the royal family.“When Harry was originally compiling his book, his publisher was confident William wouldn’t comment, because it wouldn’t be fitting for a future King to do so,” a source told New Magazine (via OK! Magazine).“Harry wouldn’t have anticipated such a comeback from Kate’s family. He and Meghan won’t like it one bit.”As well as sharing “private family details,” Goldsmith reportedly hopes to release the book one year on from the Duke of Sussex’s bombshell book, “Spare.”Goldsmith, 58, first teased plans to publish a memoir in 2013 after raking in $36 million through his successful IT business.And while he initially did not want to reveal any details relating to his family or his Princess niece, it appears as though Goldsmith has done a U-turn.“Gary has been talking to the press a lot lately and his comments seem to have gone down well with some people, especially his criticism of Harry and Meghan,” the insider said.“He did originally plan to focus the book on himself and his journey to becoming a millionaire, but he will now add in some private family details.”While there will be a revelation or two in the memoir, sources told the outlet that Carole and Kate will look at the manuscript before it gets passed on to the publisher for print.“Gary is still very close to both Carole and Kate,” the source added.
