Prince Harry has finally addressed his family’s big move back to England, and his one-word review says it all. At the Invictus Spirit Awards on Thursday, he told Hello! that“the last few weeks have been … eventful,”marking his first public comments since he and Meghan Markle relocated from Montecito, California, to the U.K. so Archie and Lilibet could start British school this fall. Meghan offered fans a glimpse of the new chapter on September 12, sharing an Instagram montage of the family exploring undisclosed U.K. grounds.
The move comes with a royal twist. King Charles III confirmed in a letter that the couple remain non-working royals, effectively private citizens. A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said the couple were“a little surprised”they weren’t informed about the letter in advance. The Sussexes stepped down as senior working royals back in 2020 and had lived abroad for six years before this return.
Still, there’s a hopeful thread here: Harry and his father have reportedly been working toward reconciliation, which makes this homecoming one to watch. New schools, new routines, and a very complicated family dynamic, all unfolding in real time. What do you think: is this the start of a healing chapter for the royals, or is there more drama ahead?
