Where Will Prince Harry and Meghan Live as They Return to the UK?
BBC News reports on the surprising decision of Prince Harry and Meghan to move back to the UK.
Why Are Harry and Meghan Moving Now?
The move comes relatively suddenly, with discussions about spending more time in the UK culminating in a recent decision. A significant visit to the UK in July, where they spent time with King Charles III at Highgrove and reunited with Harry’s mother’s family, is believed to have solidified their decision.
The couple’s desire to be closer to Harry’s family and educate their children in the UK, rather than any issues in the US, is the primary driver behind the move.
Where Will Harry and Meghan Live?
The exact location is undisclosed, but they will not be settling in London. Rumors suggest they will move to the Cotswolds or Northampton area, near Althorp, the childhood home of Diana, Princess of Wales.
What Does This Mean for the Royal Family?
The King was not involved in the couple’s decision and was surprised by the news. While he welcomes the chance to spend more time with them privately, this move does not signal a reconciled relationship between Harry and his brother, the Prince of Wales.
There’s little hope for reconciliation, given the severe damage to their sibling relationship due to Harry’s public discussions of family issues in his memoir, Spare, and a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The return of Harry and Meghan is expected to create distractions and a sense of a rival team, with no interest from the Royal Household in a "half-in, half-out" arrangement. They remain private citizens and non-working royals.
