Meghan Markle just gave royal fans the first real peek at the Sussexes’new life across the pond. On Sunday, she posted video of herself and Prince Harry walking through the British countryside, complete with a union jack and red heart emoji. The clip also showed five-year-old Lilibet riding a bike down a long driveway while her big brother Archie, seven, cheered her on.
The move itself broke on August 26, with the family relocating in time for Archie and Lilibet to start school in the fall. But don’t count California out just yet. Harry and Meghan are holding onto their Montecito home and their Portugal vacation property, so this looks less like a permanent goodbye to the U.S. and more like a new chapter with options. The couple famously stepped back from senior royal duties and moved to California back in 2020.
So what’s behind the return? An insider claims Harry“wasn’t as happy”in the States, and reports suggest his relationship with King Charles played a role in the decision. Sources say the family wants to settle outside London rather than in the city, and that the couple is“open to a new chapter.”Whether that includes a full reconciliation with the palace remains to be seen.
Do you think Harry and Meghan are back in the U.K. for good, or is this just a trial run?
