Prince Harry opens door to return but Meghan “unlikely” to follow

Prince Harry is once again at the center of major royal speculation, as new signs suggest he may be quietly leaving the door open for a future return to the United Kingdom — even though Meghan Markle is believed to be far less enthusiastic about the idea.

After five years of life in California, recent developments hint that the Duke of Sussex may not view America as his permanent home just yet.

Prince Harry “Missing Home”: The Subtle Signs He Isn’t Closing the UK Chapter

According to several sources, Harry has been feeling increasingly nostalgic for his old life in Britain. Despite his commitments and growing ventures in the U.S., emotional ties to the UK seem to remain strong.

Royal commentator Lynn Carratt told Express US:

“A return isn’t guaranteed, but it’s not off the table. Harry is keeping his options open — which is why this discussion keeps resurfacing.”

One detail fueling speculation is Harry’s recent essay in which he referred to himself as “currently” living in the U.S. — wording experts say is very intentional.
It sounds less like someone fully settled abroad and more like someone leaving room for future change.

Meghan Markle: Strongly Opposed to Moving Back to the UK

Unlike Harry, reports suggest Meghan has no desire to return to the UK permanently.

Her reasons include:

Her difficult experiences within the royal institution
Her career and professional partnerships being rooted in the U.S.
A support network and personal community built in California

Lynn Carratt explained:

“Meghan struggled during her time in the UK. It’s highly unlikely she would support moving back full-time.”

Harry’s Motivation: Ensuring Archie & Lilibet Understand Their British Heritage

A major factor influencing Harry’s thinking is his deep wish for his children — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — to know where they come from.

He has repeatedly expressed his desire for them to:

Understand British culture
Learn about their royal heritage
Build a connection with his side of the family

This makes the idea of maintaining a part-time home in the UK increasingly plausible.

A Bi-Continental Marriage? Experts Say It’s Very Possible

Carratt added:

“Modern marriages look different now. Many couples live in separate cities — even separate countries — depending on their careers. Harry and Meghan have always done things their own way.”

This analysis strengthens the possibility of a future where the Sussexes spend:

Half the year in California — Half in the UK.

Former Royal Photographer: “Harry Is Sincere About Returning”

Ian Pelham Turner — a former royal photographer who worked closely with Princess Diana — strongly believes Harry is serious about eventually reestablishing a base in the UK.

“Harry is very sincere about returning. I see no reason why Meghan and the children wouldn’t be welcomed. They could split their time between both countries — and even take on royal engagements, especially in areas like disability and ethnic communities.”

His confidence has intensified speculation within royal circles.

Is King Charles and Prince William Quietly Supportive?

Several insiders claim that King Charles and Prince William would welcome a reconciliation and are open to Harry rebuilding his presence in the UK.

Although no official step has been taken yet, experts say the atmosphere is far less tense than in previous years.
