Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited the UK earlier this month, marking Meghan’s first time in her husband’s home country since 2022. While Harry was in the UK for almost a week, carrying out public engagements and waving to crowds, this was not the case for Meghan.
As the family could not get armed police protection, Meghan flew to the UK much later on in the week with the couple’s two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. She made no public appearances despite the initial plans to do so. Despite this, it is believed that the family enjoyed their time in the UK together, with rumours swirling that they may be trying to find their way back into Britain for good.

While some people believe this could be on the agenda, others believe it is not the case.
This includes royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, who said that a return to the UK full-time for the non-working royals would be “hypocritical in the extreme”.
He exclusively told The Daily Express: “I don’t see any chance of the Sussexes returning to the UK for good.
“Meghan would never consider it, the humiliation would be huge as their brand does attract worldwide attention and the public don’t like them as shown by their abysmal ratings in recent polls.”

He continued: “The Royal Family don’t want them because, with good reason, they don’t trust them. The Sussexes are ruthless and shameless, but they wouldn’t try this.
“It would show Megxit for what it is, shallow, callous and, because it trades off their royal connections, which they were happy to attack so publicly, hypocritical in the extreme.”
While a UK return may not be on the cards for Harry and Meghan, it seems that a life outside America may still be something he wants.
It has been reported that he is considering a move to Australia, where he reportedly wants to represent the King while maintaining a similar level of freedom to the one he and his family have now.
