Harry & Meghan's UK Return: Temporary or Permanent Move?
Harry & Meghan's UK Return: Temporary or Permanent Move?
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are heading back to the UK, but is it for good? Get the latest on their uncertain relocation, keeping California ties strong.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly making a return to the United Kingdom, but the big question remains: Is this a permanent move or just a temporary stay? Multiple sources indicate that while the couple will be based in the UK for an “extended period,” they have not yet made a definitive decision about making it their long-term home.
Despite the move, their deep roots in California are seemingly intact. The couple plans to keep their Montecito, California, residence, with sources confirming they have no intentions of selling the beloved property. Furthermore, Meghan and Harry’s business ventures, including Archewell Productions and Meghan’s lifestyle brand, “As Ever,” will maintain their operations in California. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, will also continue to reside in Los Angeles, where she is actively involved in the local yoga community and has a life she is not ready to leave behind.
The relocation comes as their children, Archie and Lilibet, are set to begin school in the UK this September. However, insiders suggest the couple isn’t committed to a fixed timeline for their stay, viewing it more as a “day-by-day decision” rather than a set period like six months or a year. This flexible approach underscores the uncertainty surrounding their future base.
It's also been clarified that King Charles's health is not the underlying reason for Meghan and Harry's reported move. As the world watches, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to navigate their path between two continents, keeping their options open while prioritizing their family and professional commitments.
