As Prince Harry celebrates with family in California, royal expert Clive Irving heaped praises on the Duke and appreciated him for playing his hand quite "skillfully" this year.

The royal expert suggested that Prince Harry does not want to feed the rumour mill but instead keep a low profile with loved ones.

"Harry has got his own family now so that gives him a great deal of stability and contentment."

Last month, a friend of Harry and Meghan told The Times: “I can’t imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty.
