Prince Harry, Meghan and their two kids ‘to return to the UK in a matter of weeks’
After months of speculation and some telling clues, a source close to Harry and Meghan has confirmed their big – and unexpected – decision.
Prince Harry will be joined by Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, when he returns to the UK in just a matter of weeks, after feeling “great sadness” at the disconnect with his home country.
News.com.au can exclusively reveal that the entire family is planning to make the trip from Montecito, California, in line with the Duke of Sussex’s One Year To Go Invictus events in Birmingham, in mid-July.
It does not appear there are plans for the family to relocate to the UK permanently at this stage.
“It’s been a real point of great sadness – for Harry especially – that he’s been unable to bring his wife and kids back to the UK safely to reconnect with friends and family, but anyone would understand his desire to put their safety first,” a source close to Harry told news.com.au of his decision.
“He would love to introduce the children to his wider family, to show them the UK, where he grew up – his homeland. That would be a natural thing for any parent.”
News.com.au has reached out to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.
While Harry has made several trips back to his home country in the six years since quitting royal duties, Meghan – and the kids – usually stay home.
In fact, it’s been almost four years since Meghan’s last UK visit. She and Harry were in Britain for work commitments in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II passed away, prompting them to extend their stay.
