The fact that Harry still resides in the United States causes criticism in his home country of Great Britain. Indeed, the Duke of Sussex is the Captain General of the Royal Navy, a high military position that has always been given to prominent members of the British Royal Family. In 2017, Harry took over the role of his grandfather, Prince Philip, who was retiring.
According to Major General Julian Thompson, the captain general is not supposed to live in Britain, as he or she should attend regularly and perform ceremonial duties. According to Thompson, Prince Harry does not take his job seriously in this way. He would rather be an active member of the royal family as captain-general, and he seems to prefer Prince William.
Harry also failed to respond to a personal letter from Lord Dannatt, a former Chief of the General Staff, asking for more support for Britain’s military forces.
