TL;DR:
- Meghan and Harry have not been back to the U.K. together since they moved to California.
- One royal author has reason to believe the Sussexes want to and will go back part time.
- The duchess may not be so eager though.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle first revealed that they were “stepping back” from royal life, they thought they would still be working on a part-time basis. But Queen Elizabeth II told her grandson that he can’t be half-in, half-out and live in the U.S. for part of the year. So the Sussexes chose to leave their royal roles and moved to America.
Now, a royal commentator believes that the pair could get exactly what they initially requested and spend six months a year in the U.S. and six months a year in the U.K.
The Sussexes haven’t been back on U.K. soil in a while
Since stepping down as senior royals and moving across the pond, Prince Harry has only been back to the U.K. on two occasions. Once was for his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral and the other was for the unveiling of his mother Princess Diana’s statue at Kensington Palace.
Meghan hasn’t be back since they completed their royal duties in March 2020. Moreover, the last time the Sussexes’ son, Archie, was in the U.K. was when he was 6 months old and their daughter, Lilibet, has never been to her father’s home country.
