Prince Harry outdoes brother Prince William as he makes waves with unexpected new hobby

Prince William recently made waves by trying his hand at American football, showcasing an unexpected athletic side that many found amusing. In a move that seems designed to outshine his brother, Prince Harry, who has taken a different route by embracing the laid-back Californian lifestyle through surfing, William might have a tough act to follow.

A video featuring Harry surfing off the California coast went viral after being posted by surfing star Raimana Van Bastolaer on Instagram. The 76-second clip shows the Duke of Sussex catching some impressive waves at Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California. Van Bastolaer praised Harry’s skills, indicating that he was quite the pro-surfer, a surprising but fitting activity for someone now living in California.

This newfound passion for surfing not only highlights Harry’s shift from royal duties to a more relaxed, West Coast lifestyle but also evokes memories of his late mother, Princess Diana, who was known to enjoy the sport herself. Many royal watchers remarked on this poignant connection, emphasizing how Harry seems to embody his mother’s adventurous spirit.

While Harry enjoys his new pursuits in California, there’s an ironic twist to his story: he and Meghan Markle recently purchased a home in Portugal, which suggests they may be looking to reconnect with family across the pond, specifically with Princess Eugenie and her family. Despite this potential return to European roots, Harry appears content in his Californian lifestyle, complete with surfing buddies and a growing interest in American sports.

As the brothers explore these new interests, there’s speculation about the possibility of a future family bonding moment—perhaps even a friendly game of catch at Buckingham Palace. While the Royal Family has often been characterized by its formalities, these recent developments show that the younger generation is carving out a more modern and relaxed image.
