Prince Harry seemed at ease as he spent time with friends after Meghan Markle's departure from the Invictus Games.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, was pictured drinking and laughing with his friends after Meghan returned to California to spend time with their children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
Observers saw a change in Harry's demeanor, with royal writer Phil Dampier claiming traces of his previous carefree personality reappeared.
"Harry looks happier and more at ease on his own," Dampier said, adding that Meghan's presence occasionally casts him in her shadow.
Harry has long supported the Invictus Games, which he launched to commemorate injured service soldiers.
His solo appearances at recent engagements have fueled continuous conjecture about the Duke and Duchess's "professional separation".
While Meghan and Harry have maintained a unified face at countless public occasions, some royal experts have questioned the sincerity of their demonstrations of devotion.
However, Harry's most recent expedition reveals that he is enjoying moments of independence, especially in a place where he feels most at ease.
