Prince Harry’s ‘accent has changed’ since leaving UK & ‘celebrified’ duke ‘meditates for 40 minutes every day’, pals say

PRINCE Harry’s accent has changed since he quit the UK, his pals have said.

In a change-up of lifestyles, the now “celebrified” duke also has the time to meditate for 40 minutes a day – as he’s told “get a job” by Princess Diana’s former private secretary.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, notoriously stepped back from royal duties in 2020 before fleeing to the States with wife Meghan Markle.

Despite wanting a “private life” the pair have continued to use their titles to embark on “faux royal tours” – delivering speeches of “baloney” – and creating different business ventures.

And in what seems to be a much more relaxed daily routine to that of the former soldier and much of the UK, Harry is living an “enviable” life in the Californian sunshine.

He makes sure a 40-minute meditation session is scheduled in each day before heading to exercise classes, reports The Telegraph.

The prince used to spend his workout time at Barry’s Bootcamp in LA which costs around £400-a-month to be a member.

However, he now splashes his cash on personal trainers, it is said.

As he seems to be taking full advantage of the “celebrity lifestyle” in America, he’s also picking up on the accent and dressing the part.

Close pals of the prince have said: “There are some subtle signs of American ‘celebrification’ too – Harry’s accent has shifted to swap ‘t’s for ‘d’s, and details of his designer outfits have started to appear in news reports alongside those of his wife’s wardrobe.”

The twang in the royal’s voice first started to be noticed after the famous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021.

When talking about how his “security was going to be removed”, viewers noticed the ‘t’ was very American-sounding.

And in an interview with US broadcaster NBC in 2022, the same pronunciation was picked up.

Former King’s College language specialist Tony Thorne said: “Prince Harry can be heard dropping his ‘ts’ in some instances – including when talking about his new home in Santa Barbara.”

He has also adopted American phrases since his move, such as “you guys” and “pop the hood” – meaning open the boot of a car.

The Sussexes’ reps have been contacted for comment.
