Prince Harry is apparently happier on solo trips away from Meghan Markle, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, impressed Canadian soccer fans when he appeared in public again without his wife.

The wayward Duke has been making numerous speaking engagements at award ceremonies and taking part in charity panels and summits on his own.
Some commentators see the Prince making a “complete relaunch” of his charity work – and recently his wife Meghan has not been seen in public with him.
Sources in California say Harry's new “solo” is his own idea.
Broadcaster and royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, told The Sun how happy he was.
He said: “We've seen Prince Harry appear a few times without Meghan recently.
“Of course that's what he does very well when he does things related to football, matches and sports.
“He's much better at that, frankly, than he was when he spoke the kind of what I would call California talk, which Meghan seems to have dictated to him.
“So I have to say I applaud him every time he appears, and I'm sure he's very popular.
“It's a good thing he's doing that, so whether he's faking it, you know kind of going back to the old Harry.”
Mr Vickers also criticized the Duchess of Sussex, 43, claiming Harry appeared “meek” to her.
“I think when they're together, she seems to be the one who kind of drives the conversation,” he continued.
“She seems to be the one with the voice and he seems to follow her meekly.
“And you know he might not like it very much.”
The Sun has approached the Sussexes for comment.
Meghan and Harry 'lead separate lives'
Written by John Rogers and Summer Raimason
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are “going their own ways” as they live increasingly “separate lives”, royal experts have told The Sun.
Speaking in our first ever exclusive royal live show, Arthur Edwards and Jenny Bond revealed the power couple had recently split.
The Sun Arthur legend revealed how the pair are “doing things separately now” after failing to be spotted together in three weeks.
Meanwhile, Ms Bond, a royal correspondent for the past 35 years, revealed: “Meghan is unpopular. She doesn't want to go back and they're going their own way, more or less.”
The pair spoke in our first exclusive royal live show, which you can watch on our YouTube channel.
The event was hosted on Friday night in front of a live audience of more than 100 distinguished guests.
“I don't think it is,” Mr Edwards said [Meghan] He can come here often. I don't think people think about it much.
“I think they are suffering from their popularity in the UK, and I think they are doing things separately now.
“She got her show and he got his.”
Mr Edwards added: “It is coming to Britain now without any fuss.
“He came to the Invictus Games, in and out, without any fuss. He came to his uncle's funeral, without any fuss.”
Royal commentator Jenny Bond said: “The point is he doesn't want to come back [into the Royal Family in the UK]I think.
“He saw it as a trap. He still believes that his father and brother are trapped and that he is finding his way on his own. All credit to him.”
“I think Meghan has her own independent style and lifestyle. Yes, that doesn't sit well with people in the UK.
“She's unpopular and I don't think she wants to come back, so they're kind of going their own way.
“But I hope and believe that Harry is very happy in his life.”
Harry was interviewed before the first half of the 111th CFL Gray Cup football game in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sunday.
He spoke to TSN's James Duthie when the Toronto Argonauts took on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The surprise guest said: “The first Gray Cup. What am I looking forward to? The match is on. Let's go!”
Wearing a dark shirt and long black jacket, he waved to the crowd before being quickly escorted away.
The King later returned to the field with BC Lions owner Amar Doman and Canadian athlete Wenshuang Nie.
The founding sponsor of the Invictus Games then participated in a jersey handover ceremony with competitor Wen.
