The wayward Duke has been undertaking several speaking engagements at awards ceremonies and taking part in charitable panels and summits on his own.

Some commentators see this as the prince doing a "full relaunch" of his charity work – and lately his wife Meghan is nowhere to be seen in public with him.

Sources in California say the new "solo Harry" is his own idea.

One "well-placed" source in the US told The Daily Mail: "I hear he wanted it this way. I believe he wants space."

It comes after Meghan let her hair down with her pals at a glamourous launch party in LA but Harry was nowhere to be seen.

Meghan and Harry are 'living separate lives'

By Jon Rogers and Summer Raemason

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are "going their own ways" as they increasingly live "separate lives", royal experts told The Sun.

Speaking on our first ever Royal Exclusive Live show, Arthur Edwards and Jennie Bond lifted the lid on the power couple's recent time apart.

Sun legend Arthur revealed how the pair are "doing things separately now" after failing to be spotted together in three weeks.

Meanwhile Ms Bond, a royal correspondent for the last 35 years, also revealed: "Meghan is not popular. She doesn't want to come back and they are going their own ways, to some extent."

The pair spoke on our first Royal Exclusive Live show, which you can watch .

The event was hosted on Friday night in front of a live audience of more than 100 special guests.

Mr Edwards said: "I don't think she [Meghan] can come here much. I don't think people think too much of her.

"I think she's struggling in popularity in the UK and I think they seem to be doing things separately now.

"She's got her programme and he's got his."

Mr Edwards added: "He comes into Britain now with no fuss.

"He's come for the Invictus Games, in and out with no fuss, he came for his uncle's funeral, no fuss."

Royal commentator Jennie Bond said: "The point is he doesn't want to come back [into the Royal Family in the UK], I think.

"He regarded it as a trap. He still thinks his father and his brother are trapped and he's finding his own way. All credit to him.

"I think Meghan has her own independent style and way of life. Yes, it's not in tune with the people in the UK.

"She's not popular and I don't think she wants to come back and therefore they are going their own ways, to an extent.

"But I hope and believe that Harry is very happy in his life."
