NPR NewsHarry and Meghan gave up their royal duties and moved to California more than six years ago to earn their living through lucrative contracts with Netflix and Spotify. Although relations with the rest of the royal family have soured since then, Harry has recently expressed an interest in reconciliation so he could spend more time with his father, King Charles III, who is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer.
BBC NewsPrince Harry and Meghan left the UK and stepped back from royal duties in 2020, and family relations have been strained since.
The Daily WireNow, six years later, Harry and Meghan appear to be testing whether they can have the best of both worlds: the freedom of private citizens, the commercial opportunities of their Sussex brand, and the proximity and prestige that come with being members of the Royal Family. We don’t exactly know the motivation. But after years of insisting that Britain was unsafe and intolerable, their decision to return inevitably raises questions about what has really changed.
Associated PressThe judgment comes two days after it was made public that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are moving back to the U.K. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are no longer working royals, decamped to California more than six years ago but will relocate back later this month to live in a nonroyal residence outside London.

The Daily WireBut…there are also whispers swirling around that the timing of this homecoming is very deliberate. One unnamed source tells RadarOnline.com in an exclusive that Harry is “hoping to re-establish his royal position before his estranged brother, Prince William, takes the crown along with his wife, Princess Kate [Middleton]. “Harry may never get a better window of opportunity.” It’s a claim I’ve heard bandied about more than once. It’s no secret that William and Harry are not on speaking terms. The brothers have been unable to reconcile after Harry’s negative references to William’s wife, Kate Middleton, in his bestselling memoir, Spare.
