Prince Harry is reportedly on the lookout for a new home in the UK, a decision that seems to be causing a rift between him and Meghan Markle.
Quick Facts
- Prince Harry is actively searching for a home in the UK, hinting at a potential move back.
- The couple’s decision to leave Frogmore Cottage was influenced by the release of Harry’s memoir, which disclosed intimate details about the Royal Family.
- Decisions regarding the education of their children, Archie and Lilibet, are still up in the air.
After stepping back from their royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to the US. This move marked the beginning of their estrangement from the Royal Family, with several revelations about the monarchy emerging from the couple over the years. Meghan, since the move, has only returned to the UK a few times. Speculations are rife that Prince Harry might make frequent trips to the UK, possibly without Meghan accompanying him.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe weighed in on the situation, stating that Harry has more reasons to return to the UK than Meghan. He emphasized Harry’s involvement with initiatives like the Invictus Games, which has its primary operations based in London. Larcombe also expressed skepticism about Meghan’s desire to spend time in the UK, citing her apparent lack of affection for England. He mentioned that Meghan has not indicated any intention of moving back to the UK, even on a temporary basis.
The underlying motivation behind Prince Harry’s decision seems to revolve around his children. With Archie aged four and Lilibet two, the expert highlighted the importance of the children knowing their extended family. He said, “If they don’t have a base here, Harry’s children are going to grow up not knowing their cousins, uncles or aunts, or any of their family. They’re growing up fast and his father isn’t getting any younger. I think he would want to do this before it’s too late.”
