Officially, Prince Harry is still a ‘Counselor of State’ and could represent King Charles. But now that it is known that his primary residence is in the USA, there are renewed discussions about whether this is still appropriate.
Discussions have once again erupted in Great Britain over whether Prince Harry (39 years old) can continue as “Councillor of State”. In theory, his father, King Charles (75 years old), should represent him, although he has moved his primary residence to the United States of America.

Harry lives with his wife, Duchess Meghan (42), and their children – Prince Archie (4) and Princess Lilibet (2) – in Montecito, California.
Now published documents from the UK Commercial Registry Companies Office for Harry’s travel organization Travalyst, which was founded in 2019, list the US as the place where he is “usually resident”.
