Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK return has been referred to as “astonishing” due to the fact the family went entirely unseen until they travelled back to the US on Tuesday. Although Harry arrived in the UK on July 6, Meghan and their children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – joined him on Thursday evening.
The family were previously due to travel together but, after Harry’s request for taxpayer-funded security was denied, it was decided that Meghan and their children would not join him in the UK. However, just days later, it was revealed that they had travelled separately – after reportedly already holidaying somewhere in Europe.
Speaking on ITV News’ Talking Royals podcast, broadcaster and journalist Charlene White pointed out: “Not a single person saw the family enter Highgrove [House], nobody saw them leave Highgrove [House] and nobody saw where they went next because they didn’t actually leave the country until Tuesday.”
Also appearing on the show, royal editor Chris Ship replied: “This is true. You raise a very valid point so, not a lot of people know this, but Harry and Meghan were in the country until Tuesday evening… It’s not necessarily the TV cameras that catch them, it’s the newspapers who have probably paid hundreds of cameras, or those who are freelance…
“Not a single shot,” to which Charlene said, “that’s quite astonishing”.
Speaking of the couple’s children, who are now aged seven and five, an insider told Women’s Day that Archie and Lilibet were “totally awestruck” when they met the King and Queen at Highgrove House.
They said: “Apparently Archie and Lilibet were totally awestruck by everything they witnessed and it has really opened the door for Harry to tell them more about their heritage and what it means to be a part of the monarchy.”

The King last saw his two youngest grandchildren in June 2022, during their visit to the UK for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
It has been reported that Queen Camilla was also present for the father-son meeting, which took place at Highgrove House on July 10.
Prior to the visit, it was reported that Archie and Lilibet had “no concept” of the magnitude of the statuses of their royal relatives.
