PRINCE Harry is a "shell of his former self" since moving to the United States, a royal expert has claimed.
While Meghan has thrived since the move and is now "blossoming", Harry has "ditched his life as an action man to become an airy-fairy do-gooder", expert Angela Levin told the Telegraph.
The news comes as Piers Morgan ripped into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, accusing them of "using" son Archie to "flog" their podcast.
The couple forced baby Archie to appear in the first episode of their £30m Spotify podcast and he famously wished listeners a happy new year in what appeared to be a US accent.
On GMB today, Susannah Read mentioned the couple's "very successful" podcast, to which Piers replied "Have we got that gut-wrenching bit where they bring in the little kid that they're so desperate to protect his privacy?"

HARRY AND MEGHAN COULD PROFIT FROM PERSONAL DATA ON WEBSITE
PRIVACY-loving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charity could profit from harvesting personal data on their new Archewell website.
A notice about about taking subscribers details and sharing them with "for-profit ventures" is contained at the bottom of the site.
The royals, who quit as senior members of the family last year, launched the full site last week with a message of compassion.
But anyone who signs up or writes in allows the website to legally store and use their data in a variety of ways.
The foundation is then potentially able to benefit from sharing the data with "for profit" organisations, or by giving them up in any sale.

A ROYAL commentator has hit out at suggestions that Prince Charles should abdicate to his son Prince William when he ascends the throne.
Howard Hodgeson – an acquaintance of Charles – told the Express that the line of succession would not be altered, despite polls suggesting the public would prefer William to takeover.
Speaking to the paper, he said: "People still say maybe Charles should abdicate and William be the next King after the Queen dies. If you think that, you don't understand monarchy at all.
"You don't retire – the Queen will never reture, she will die in power.

PIERS MORGAN TELLS QUEEN TO STRIP HARRY AND MEGHAN OF THEIR ROYAL TITLES
PIERS Morgan has called on the Queen to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal titles after "using" their son Archie on a podcast.
Since getting out of royal duties back in Britain, they have landed a number of lucrative deals for their future, including a £100million Netflix win and a £30million Spotify podcast of their own.
Highlighting their hypocrisy, Piers ranted on Good Morning Britain today: "They quit the country for privacy and they've hardly shut up since. They particularly wanted to protect their little boy who is the star of their new podcast. It is all complete hogwash."
"After all that saying 'we had to leave the country to protect his privacy. but now the moment we've signed a big-money deal we're going to use him to flog our podcast'."

PRINCE WILLIAM ‘WILL BE UNHAPPY’ WITH HARRY’S NOD TO DIANA ON WEBSITE
PRINCE William "will be unhappy" that Prince Harry appears to be "exploiting Princess Diana's status" on the new Archewell website, an expert has claimed.
The couple shared childhood pictures of themselves with their mothers – alongside a short letter to 2021 in which the Duke described himself as "my mother's son".
Royal expert Phil Dampier told The Mail: "I think William will be slightly worried if Harry uses Diana for any of his charitable or commercial ventures without consulting him, and I don't think he would be happy if Harry appears to be exploiting his mother's iconic status.
"It's also very significant that Harry called himself his 'mother's son' but has made no mention of Prince Charles. William is very much following now in his father's footsteps with his environmental and conservation work."
