Prince Harry might get dumped if he serves no purpose amid speculations he's already regretting his decision to leave the royal family.

According to Sky News host Christ Smith in an episode of "Chris Smith Tonight," royal experts thinking that "Prince Harry might be starting to regret the huge gamble he took living in self-imposed exile" with his wife Meghan Markle and children Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, in Los Angeles.

He quoted Duncan Larcombe, who said the Duke of Sussex "was not happy" and has been questioning if the things he gave up to live the life he wanted in the United States were worth it. He turned to Caroline Di Russo, a lawyer, commentator and columnist for Sky News Australia, Pent House Australia and Daily Telegraph, about her opinion on the matter.

"Look, he made his bed, and he can sleep on it quite frankly," Di Russo said. "There are plenty of people who warned him before that this was probably not the best decision, and it's actually really sad to watch."

Di Russo pointed out that the royal family is "sort of" a public family. They are easy to follow and their family dynamics are not a secret to the public. She added that it was "terribly sad" that Prince Harry's kids could not spend as much time with their grandparents, including Queen Elizabeth.

"Will he do a run?" Di Russo asked before adding that he "probably would at some stage."

"I actually think probably at some stage, he will get dumped when he no longer serves a purpose," she added.

Larcombe, the author of "Prince Harry: The Inside Story," spoke with Closer magazine after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to California following their U.K. trip for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee. The royal expert felt that Prince William's brother was "homesick."

"Harry's suddenly playing polo again and drinking with his new friends – all things he used to enjoy doing in the U.K.," Larcombe told the outlet.

He noted that even if Markle cheered on her husband from the sidelines when he played polo and helped him create the perfect life in the U.S., Prince Harry still looked unhappy.

"He is living out there in self-imposed exile, and Harry is a very sociable person. In his formative years, he had lots of friends – including his estranged brother William – and was always spending time with them. He must sometimes wonder if everything he has given up has been worth it," Larcombe said.
