King Charles III has authorized a letter to senior British officials making clear that Prince Harry and Meghan will remain non-working royals despite their return to the United Kingdom last month, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20lpevv7jlo">according</a> to the BBC.
The letter, issued by Lord Chamberlai, Lord Benyon on behalf of the King, was distributed to Harry&#8217;s team, government officials, military leaders and Lord Lieutenants — royal representatives who may be involved in official visits. Its purpose, according to Palace sources, is to ensure that any public activity by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex going forward is understood to be undertaken in a private capacity rather than on behalf of the monarchy.
<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/king-charles-letter-prince-harry-meghan-markle-not-working-royals-12412565">According</a> to Newsweek, which obtained the letter&#8217;s text, it states that the couple&#8217;s position &#8220;is akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests,&#8221; and confirms their styles as His and Her Royal Highness remain unused. The letter also reportedly reiterates that the arrangement struck when the couple stepped back from royal duties in January 2020 — sometimes called the Sandringham Agreement — remains fully in effect, barring any &#8220;half-in, half-out&#8221; role that would let them draw on royal status while pursuing outside commercial ventures.
Harry and Meghan relocated to Britain in late August with their children, Archie and Lilibet, after six years living in Montecito, California. The family is reportedly settling into a privately owned home outside London while keeping their California residence and a property in Portugal. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-reunites-with-king-charles-brings-meghan-and-children">reported</a> that the move followed a private meeting in July between the King, Queen Camilla, and the Sussexes at Highgrove House — the first family gathering since the rift that followed the couple&#8217;s 2020 departure and subsequent public criticisms of the royal family in Harry&#8217;s memoir and the couple&#8217;s Netflix series.
Buckingham Palace had not issued formal comment on the letter as of Monday afternoon. The Sussexes&#8217; office has not released a statement responding to the Palace&#8217;s clarification.

President Donald Trump celebrated Prince Harry and Meghan Markle&#8217;s return to the United Kingdom on Wednesday, saying he was &#8220;happy&#8221; to see the couple leave the United States.
“I’m happy about it,” the president <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2026/09/02/trump-happy-harry-and-meghan-left-united-states-i-was-not-a-fan/">told</a> reporters in the Oval Office. “I was not a fan.” 
Trump accused Harry and Markle of treating the royal family with &#8220;great disrespect&#8221; and singled out Markle&#8217;s conduct toward the late Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III.
“I didn’t like the way she acted,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles.” 
&#8220;If I were the royal family, I would not have taken them back,&#8221; he added.
Trump has been a critic of Markle&#8217;s for years. When it was suspected she supported his opponent Joe Biden for president in 2020, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-torches-meghan-markle-i-wish-a-lot-of-luck-to-harry-because-hes-gonna-need-it">said</a>, “I’m not a fan of hers, and I would say this, and she probably has heard that, but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he’s going to need it.”
The couple and their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, headed back across the pond weeks after giving up their senior royal roles and settling in California during the coronavirus pandemic, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/party-in-the-usa-prince-harry-meghan-markle-returning-to-uk-after-years-of-royal-turmoil">reported</a>. The couple plans to keep their homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal, but their kids will be going to school in the U.K. 
The move comes after years of bitter tensions between Harry and his estranged royal family — and just months after an under-the-radar trip to visit with the family.
In July, King Charles III privately met with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two children in the first family gathering since the royal rift erupted several years ago. The king and Queen Camilla met with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet at the Highgrove House country estate.
Relations deteriorated after Harry and Meghan’s bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they accused an unnamed royal family member of raising concerns about how dark their first child Archie’s skin might be. The couple’s Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” which also included criticism of the royal family, further deepened the rift. Harry has also remained estranged from his older brother, Prince William, according to multiple reports.
After losing his appeal over government-funded security in Britain in 2025, Harry told the BBC he hoped to reconcile with his family.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious,” Prince Harry said, insisting that the security argument has “always been the sticking point.” He also referenced his father’s cancer battle, saying he didn’t know how much time the king had left.
Harry has visited the U.K. without his wife on multiple occasions in recent years, including for his father’s coronation in 2023.

Trump Bids Harry And Meghan Good Riddance

donald trump

Some foreigners, and other irrelevant people, complain that Americans don’t care about their tiny, unimportant countries. And of course, that’s true, and for obvious reasons.
Why should we waste our time thinking about some weirdly shaped blotch on the living room globe when they can’t even speak English there like civilized people, and we could be focusing our attention on the mighty and virtuous empire that gave the world all the truly great people in history, like Babe Ruth and the Hardy Boys and Julius Caesar and so on?
But now and then, it is important to hear the latest news about some meaningless hellhole where we might be buying computer parts or killing people or… well, that about covers it, really.
So now, I’d like to catch up on what the Trump administration is doing to achieve our foreign policy goals, whatever the hell they may be.
Let’s begin with the war. This week, the administration announced it was going to unleash financial hell on our enemies by cutting them off from every possible source of income. Then, if that works in Canada, we might try it in Iran as well.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/andrew-klavan-show-ep-1293"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-974735 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now.jpg" alt="" width="1800" height="300" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-300x50.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-768x128.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-1536x256.jpg 1536w" sizes=" (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px" /></a>
The Canadians objected to this in that girlishly adorable little petulant way they have, and so our president was forced to teach them a lesson by putting a 50% tariff on their major exports to our country, like hockey sticks and boredom. The Canadians — who really are cute when they’re mad — retaliated by continuing the negotiations in French so no one here could understand what they were saying.
In response, Trump declared he was going to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake Screw You, Canada, whereupon the Canadians broke down and said that if we would just continue to name the lake after them, they would do anything we wanted, so we told them to stop talking with those stupid accents, because it’s just annoying. The deal should be finalized as soon as the White House can find someone who speaks French.
Meanwhile, in Iran, Trump has declared that the Strait of Hormuz is now completely under our control and will be moved to upstate New York and renamed the Strait of Screw You, Canada. The president says the Iranians are only days away from surrendering and admitting this whole Koran business was just a prank to get people to blow themselves up because they thought that would be funny. Trump says the end of the war would have been negotiated long ago, but we killed so many of their leaders that now the only Ayatollah left is a one-legged homosexual, who’s afraid if he steps down, the mullahs will throw him off a building before they find out about the whole fake Koran thing.
Finally, in the most shocking development concerning tiny little foreign people, the spare prince of England and his wife what’s-her-name have announced they are leaving the United States and returning to wherever England is because they thought they would be famous here, but instead no one cares about them.
The reaction in the U.S. was muted because no one cares about them, but in England, it was a different story. Due to one of their quirky, primitive indigenous superstitions, many people in England still believe it’s a real place and the things that happen there matter.
So The Daily Wire sent a reporter to London to gauge the reaction of the population and also pick up some Indian take-out. Our reporter interviewed one typical Englishman on the street, asking him, “How do you feel about the return of the spare prince and what’s-her-name?” The man replied, “Allahu Akbar,” then brandished a knife and chased our reporter around the Cupid statue in Piccadilly Circus, which disappointingly turned out to be just another street without any dancing elephants or acrobats like a real circus would have. Our reporter did manage to escape the attacker and ask another typical Englishman for his response, and the man replied with typical English honesty, “Allahu Akbar,” and ran him over with a truck.
So that’s the roundup of news from meaningless foreign places. If you’d like to learn more about countries that aren’t America, just write in and let us know, and we’ll have you deported.

Remember when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle thought they could alight upon California and trick us into treating them like America’s most sympathetic Brit-ish royals? Well, it seems the stateside jig is up as the hucksters move on to plan B. 
After dragging the British monarchy through the mud and fleeing the U.K. for Montecito in 2020, Harry and Meghan plan this fall to schlep it back across the pond. Yep, to the place where Meghan <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/07/world/meghan-markle-suicidal-thoughts.html">once claimed</a> the press treated her with such brutality, she “didn’t want to be alive anymore.” To the father Harry said was cold and distant, and the brother he alleged called Meghan “<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64179164">rude</a>” and “abrasive.” Meghan even summoned crocodile tears to tell Oprah the royals were <a href="https://time.com/5944613/meghan-markle-oprah-racism/">racists</a>. 
Why would they voluntarily jump back into all of that? Well, maybe everyone stopped believing their lies.
The couple plan to enroll their children, 7-year-old Archie and 5-year-old Lilibet at a U.K. school this September. Since they already regifted their official Frogmore Cottage back to the late queen, they’ll remain royal-adjacent in an off-campus residence.
We’re supposed to believe this is a moving story of a broken family on the mend, the return of Britain’s <a href="https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/55269-royal-family-favourability-trackers-july-2026">former favorite royal</a> (Harry) into the Commonwealth’s open arms. It’s so epic, it could almost be a movie. What a coincidence that <a href="https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/55269-royal-family-favourability-trackers-july-2026">Netflix</a> cameras may be on hand to capture it.
This all came about after Harry and Meghan popped in to see the king in July for a shockingly headline-free visit. King Charles, who is still receiving<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80n48kg0vjo"> treatment for cancer</a>, seems to have the most empathy toward Harry’s plans to return for good. Somewhere in Windsor Castle, the queen is rolling over in her grave.
So is this the part where Harry and Meghan finally admit that clawing for clout effectively destroyed every close relationship in their lives? Meghan may have been fine going no-contact with her dad, siblings, former castmates, ex-husband, and friends to rise to the top. But Harry — who once lamented “<a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/08/29/prince-harry-lost-dad-prince-charles-meghan-markle-says/">I lost my dad in this process</a>” after leaving the royal family — was never that cold at heart. As his birthright slipped through his fingers, so did his identity.
Meghan and Harry have spent the better part of their decade-long relationship cashing in on their supposed hardships. They’ve complained ad nauseam about the British tabloid press, filing lawsuit upon lawsuit in a litigious quest to protect their eternally encroached-upon space. It was such a blatant ruse “South Park” even dragged the pair’s “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N8_5LDkZwY">worldwide privacy tour</a>.” While Meghan <a href="https://abcnews.com/GMA/Culture/duchess-meghan-embroiled-tabloid-lawsuit/story?id=72075500">won a copyright claim in 2021</a> against a tabloid that published a private letter to her dad, subsequent courts have been less sympathetic. Harry just lost an “<a href="https://apnews.com/article/prince-harry-lawsuit-daily-mail-elton-81f7450c6419cbbd5a2b573217cf5ab1">invasion of privacy case</a>” against Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper and will be forced, along with other plaintiffs including Elton John, to reimburse legal fees to the tune of $13 million, at least. 
It’s a marker of a changing era. One that’s shifting toward offering obvious grifters a lot less clout. Maybe most of us have exhausted ourselves with our own toxic empathy.
We were just beginning to enter the chaos of 2020 when the Sussexes first launched their American invasion that March. As the pandemic’s chokehold opened the door for the riots of Black Lives Matter, Meghan — a biracial quasi princess — made her move. 
On Oprah’s prime time special, Meghan revealed “concerns and conversations about how dark [Archie’s] skin might be when he was born.” The world gasped at the alleged gall of the perpetrators who, according to Omid Scobie’s book “Endgame,” were rumored to be King Charles and Princess Catherine.  
But by 2026, Oprah would awkwardly <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DbEQGlNqoDL/">distance herself</a> from the marquee exclusive, like it was a random interview with nobody important that she did way back when. Does Oprah not believe Harry and Meghan’s claims anymore? Does anyone? Did we ever? 
After years of virtue signaling, the couple seems to have done the most damage to themselves. Never mind their own children who appear as obscured pint-sized accessories on their parents’ social media.
Archie and Lilibet have reportedly never met their cousins: William and Catherine’s kids George, Charlotte, and Louis. Reports blame the distance between California and Kensington Palace, but the real gap seems to be interpersonal. Harry’s practically estranged from his brother who will one day be the King of England. Since Meghan took a hacksaw to her own immediate family, so to speak, the couple has no one left but themselves. Not even the celebrities they once called friends view them as being essential to elite society.
Where did it really go wrong? Well, Meghan’s name is literally written all over it. From the portmanteau “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megxit">Megxit</a>” that followed the couple as they left the royal family to the colloquialism “<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1vpp6vx/the_midas_touch_but_for_failure/">Markled</a>” — or “the Midas touch but for failure” — it seems Harry may have been the limp noodle she needed to siphon that royal cash. 
The plan worked until the hose got kinked and the <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/05/13/royal-family/breadwinner-meghan-markle-may-take-drastic-action-to-pay-her-prince-harrys-huge-bills/">$6 million</a> they needed to fund their lives stopped rushing in. Meghan didn’t transform into the star she always dreamed of, and the couple was seen at events together less often. Royal biographer “Lady C” Colin Campbell even told “<a href="https://youtu.be/PbVQbkvDE3Q?t=3642">The Nerve With Maureen Callahan</a>,” “People with official links at governmental level in the United States contact me to tell me that Harry is in love with another woman (of his age), who is also in love with him.”
Beyond the stress on the marriage, there’s the issue of proximity to the throne. With the possibility of King Charles abdicating to Prince William at any moment, royal commentators speculate that William may strip Harry and Meghan of <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/2240347/prince-william-bombshell-plan-blow-sussexes">their royal titles</a> — and cut them off from the royal family for good.
If they’re no longer duke and duchess, who are they? Harry was born into the monarchy, but Meghan — who went from rags to riches (or “Deal or No Deal” to a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/18/the-royal-wedding-may-cost-43-million-and-94-percent-of-that-is-for-security.html">$43 million</a> royal wedding) — blew her chance to become just as beloved as Kate, or even Diana. She’s clearly “Single White Female”-ing both. 
Even if they’re headed back into the family fold, it’s unclear whether the British public will welcome Harry and Meghan with open arms. One <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/europe/100000011103379/londoners-react-harry-meghan-uk-return.html">Londoner</a> said, “I’m not especially happy about it because they trashed the whole country numerous times, betrayed their family, betrayed his king, his father.”
Another noted, “If [Harry] wants to try and build his royal side back up again, I think he would be welcome. He would be welcome.”
Someone else wondered if it’ll just be the same routine in a different country, posting to <a href="https://x.com/QLoTII/status/2090265990877557123?s=20">X</a>: “Harry &amp; Meghan spent years branding the royals ‘toxic,’ fled to Hollywood for ‘freedom,’ then cashed in on every sob story imaginable … only to now crawl back like the firm’s the only place left that still answers their calls. Sussex Squad and Black people who bought the whole ‘racist royals’ act just got played harder than a Netflix special. The Sussexes’ independence lasted about as long as their relevance. Welcome home — your ‘victim’ narrative just got a royal reboot.”
Over on this side of the pond, the vibe is a little more rock and roll. As <a href="https://x.com/MeghanMcCain/status/2090191179874767065?s=20">Meghan McCain</a> posted on X: “One thing about Americans is we can see through bullsh*t and we don’t like entitled grifters. They could never hack it here and truly no one gives a sh*t about d-list royals. Good luck to our friends in the UK, they’re your problem now.”
Still others hope they finally find what they’ve been looking for: home. As <a href="https://youtu.be/Rha8OGXZpso?t=67">one Brit</a> shared, “It’s good to welcome people with open arms, no matter where they are and what their journey is like. You don’t know what they had to go through.” 
Yet, we know what we’ve gone through, and when it comes to these two, it’s “no deal.” Bon voyage, Harry and Meghan. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Con Was Never Going To Last Forever

opinion

It’s no secret that Meghan Markle is an incorrigible social climber, but the scale of her ambition is just now coming to light. According to a new <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/08/20/us-news/true-scale-of-meghan-and-harrys-us-political-plans-revealed-from-request-for-biden-oval-office-meeting-to-eyeing-senate-seat/">report</a> from The New York Post, Markle had her sights set on the United States Senate.
This would be amusing enough if Markle were nothing but a D-list actress, which was true for years before she sank her claws into the rebellious British royal Prince Harry. Now that they’re married, her rumored political ambitions are even more ridiculous.
Markle was eyeing the U.S. Senate seat vacated by former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Post reported, citing a source. The former British working royal reportedly had a sit-down with California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom just weeks before the 2020 presidential election because she “wanted to be considered to be appointed,” a source told the outlet.
Newsom’s office has a record of the meeting, which at the time was pitched as a “welcome to California” chat. It remains unclear whether Markle was ever seriously considered.
A Sussex source denied the allegation that Markle was gunning for Harris’ vacant seat. Reps for The Duchess of Sussex did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment.
The royal couple has been associated with politicians before. In 2021, they allegedly requested a meeting with then-President Joe Biden and wanted to stay at Blair House, which is usually reserved for diplomatic leaders, the Post reported. That request was denied. 
In 2025, Markle <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSWpaFRvX6k&amp;t=10s">responded</a> to a question on her political ambitions, denying that she was interested in running for office. When pressed if she would really “never” run, the Duchess of Sussex replied, “I mean you could say, never say never &#8230;” then quickly repeated, “No. Never.” 
British royals traditionally don’t comment on American politics or endorse candidates, which is why so many followers were surprised when Prince Harry and Markle made statements that sounded like support for the Biden-Harris ticket in September 2020. 
“Every four years we are told the same thing, that this is the most important election of our lifetime,” Markle <a href="https://www.hola.com/us/royals/20200923frgleedf17/meghan-markle-prince-harry-voting-election-tv-appearance/">said</a> in their video message at the time. “But this one is. When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter, because you do and you deserve to be heard.”
Prince Harry chimed in, saying, “This election, I’m not going to be able to vote here in the U.S. But many of you may not know that I haven’t been able to vote in the U.K. my entire life. As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity.”
It was just announced that the royal couple is moving back to the United Kingdom after living stateside for the past six years. This comes after several failed lifestyle and entertainment ventures, including an abandoned podcast and a nine-figure Netflix deal that was later downgraded to a less lucrative arrangement due to an extreme lack of interest.

Meghan Markle Made A Play For Kamala’s U.S. Senate Seat: Report

The year: 2021. The setting: the sprawling grounds of Montecito. In the camera frame: megacelebrity TV host Oprah Winfrey seated across from royal refugees, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple revealed just why they fled England and royal life for refuge in California. The transatlantic move would famously be dubbed “Megxit.”
“Lack of support, lack of security, potential racism through &#8216;<a href="https://news.sky.com/story/meghan-wrote-to-king-charles-expressing-concern-about-unconscious-bias-in-the-royal-family-reports-12863044">unconscious bias</a>,&#8217; being silenced.” These were all <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXpFFFCvcH4">reasons the couple gave</a> for why staying in the U.K. was untenable.
“My biggest concern was history repeating itself,” Harry said, referring to Meghan allegedly being tormented by the media, drawing the parallel to his mother, Princess Diana, prior to her death. Markle asserted that their voices were “silenced.” And in the most famous confession of the entire sit-down, Markle accused unnamed royal members of the family of having “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” referring to their unborn son. And just a little over a year ago, Harry, after losing a court battle for taxpayer-funded security, <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/prince-harry-says-loss-of-security-protection-makes-it-impossible-to-bring-meghan-and-children-to-uk-13360358">vowed that it was impossible</a> to bring his family back to his home country. He stated he couldn’t &#8220;see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point.”
Well…here we are a little over a year later. The couple has no promises of government security, no invitations (that we know of) to return as working royals, and no public resolution of the racial-bias allegations…so why are they going back, given their longstanding concerns?
Some critics and commentators say the “prodigal prince” could be returning for two major reasons: money and power. <a href="https://robshuter.substack.com/p/exclusive-harrys-60-million-legal">Celebrity reporter Rob Shuter</a> claims the Sussexes are under significant financial strain from their bills, especially because of Harry’s failed lawsuits against the U.K. press. Shuter estimates the following: “$5 million a year for private security, the upkeep of their Montecito estate, staff salaries, travel, and the costs of maintaining their global brand.” As <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/harry-reportedly-facing-financial-downward-185701598.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAA6x0SHDHRvNXitONi8vVaIDdZFvgCymzChNxjbxmN4m8hmu0p1HAefN43Io4m-Rp4NSTiykACenUXd1SJaTuguuHUA9Oag_raCsCkm6N9g8atn46tX3Bc8cJwfb0PBbcWu4tWEQn4tHNIU1wk5IfHMdjqUfERsB5KH2bZm403W6">one report points out,</a> &#8220;People think Harry and Meghan have unlimited money — they don&#8217;t,&#8221; another insider said. &#8220;They&#8217;ve earned a fortune, but they&#8217;ve spent one too. A financial hit of this size changes the conversation overnight.&#8221; <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/prince-harry-seeking-king-charles-120104132.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAA6x0SHDHRvNXitONi8vVaIDdZFvgCymzChNxjbxmN4m8hmu0p1HAefN43Io4m-Rp4NSTiykACenUXd1SJaTuguuHUA9Oag_raCsCkm6N9g8atn46tX3Bc8cJwfb0PBbcWu4tWEQn4tHNIU1wk5IfHMdjqUfERsB5KH2bZm403W6">Some speculate</a> that proximity to the bank of King Charles couldn’t hurt given the reported financial strain the couple is under.
However accurate that may or may not be, there is still the reality that the King is actively battling cancer. Prince Harry has been open about <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/prince-harry-seeks-reconciliation-king-charles-cancer-1236384125/">his desire to reconcile </a>with his father and that he doesn’t &#8220;know how much longer my father has.&#8221; Living in the same country would create greater opportunities for true reconciliation and give the King a chance to know his grandchildren.
But…there are also whispers swirling around that the timing of this homecoming is very deliberate. One unnamed source tells <a href="http://radaronline.com/">RadarOnline.com</a> 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]. &#8220;Harry may never get a better window of opportunity.&#8221; 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 <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/03/entertainment/prince-harry-in-painful-place-after-writing-about-kate-middleton-in-spare-expert/">bestselling memoir, Spare</a>. William certainly can’t control whether Harry and his family move back to England, but, as King, he would ultimately have far greater influence over Harry’s relationship with the institution.
Given the breaking news of their pending move this month, are we looking at a future where Harry and Meghan are royal-adjacent? Accessing Buckingham Palace while also hawking Meghan’s As Ever products? Holding court with the King while also taking Netflix calls? If that’s the case, then this might be the best arrangement the Sussexes could’ve ever envisioned.
Now, 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&#8217;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.
And sure, they’re entitled to change their minds about Britain. But the rest of us are entitled to ask why.

In a royal surprise, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle plan to leave California and establish a home base in the United Kingdom, British media reported Wednesday. 
The couple and their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, will head back across the pond later this month after giving up their senior royal roles and settling in California during the coronavirus pandemic,<a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2026/08/19/exclusive-harry-and-meghan-move-back-to-britain/"> The Telegraph</a> reported. With the children set to start school in September, the couple is expected to keep their homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal.
The move comes after years of bitter tensions between Harry and his estranged royal family — and just months after a low-key British trip that nonetheless caught the attention of royal watchers.
In July, King Charles III privately met with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two children in the first family gathering since the royal rift erupted several years ago, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prince-harry-reunites-with-king-charles-brings-meghan-and-children?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Prince+Harry+Reunites+With+King+Charles%2C+Brings+Meghan+And+Children">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. The king and Queen Camilla met with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet at the Highgrove House country estate. 
Relations deteriorated after Harry and Meghan’s bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they accused an unnamed royal family member of raising concerns about how dark their first child Archie’s skin might be. The couple’s Netflix documentary and Harry’s memoir, Spare, which also included criticism of the royal family, further deepened the rift. Harry has also remained estranged from his older brother, Prince William, according to multiple reports.
After losing his appeal over government-funded security in Britain in 2025, Harry told the BBC he hoped to reconcile with his family.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight anymore; life is precious,” Prince Harry said, insisting that the security argument has “always been the sticking point.” He also referenced his father’s cancer battle, saying he didn’t know how much time the king had left. 
Harry has visited the U.K. without his wife on multiple occasions in recent years, including for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022 and his father’s coronation in 2023. 
King Charles is aware of the couple’s plans and “welcomes the opportunity,” according to <a href="https://people.com/prince-harry-meghan-markle-moving-back-uk-with-prince-archie-princess-lilibet-exclusive-12061632">PEOPLE</a>. Across the pond, however, not everyone is exactly thrilled with the royal reunion. 
“I actually think a lot of people are going to be incredibly annoyed that they have been really disparaging about Britain,” GB News commentator Patrick Christys <a href="https://x.com/GBNEWS/status/2090197223241891845?s=20">said</a>. “They&#8217;ve caused huge potential racism allegations against both the serving monarch and also Catherine. They absolutely seem to have no shred of empathy whatsoever for Catherine&#8217;s cancer diagnosis. They&#8217;ve been absolutely vile, I think, about this country and about the royal family.” 
Christys also questioned the motive and timing of the relocation. 
“And yet here they are now. Their kids are getting to proper school age, and they want to move to a chocolate box quintessentially English village in the countryside, untouched by any other issues this country faces, so they can give their kids a good British education,” he added.

King Charles III privately met with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two children on Friday in what multiple reports described as the first family gathering since the royal rift erupted several years ago. 
NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/world/united-kingdom/king-charles-hosted-prince-harry-family-first-time-years-rift-rcna385893">reported</a> the king and Queen Camilla met with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet at Highgrove House country estate. The meeting came after years of public tensions that followed Harry and Meghan&#8217;s decision to step back from royal duties in 2020.
Relations deteriorated after Harry and Meghan&#8217;s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple&#8217;s Netflix documentary, and Harry&#8217;s memoir, &#8220;Spare,&#8221; all of which included criticism of the royal family. Harry has also remained estranged from his older brother, Prince William, according to multiple reports.
After losing his appeal over government-funded security in Britain last year, Harry told the BBC he hoped to reconcile with his family.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious,” Prince Harry said, insisting that the security argument has “always been the sticking point.” He also referenced his father&#8217;s cancer battle, saying he didn&#8217;t know how much time the king had left. 
Harry has visited the U.K. without his wife on multiple occasions in recent years, including for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022 and his father’s coronation in 2023. 
British media have reported that Meghan and the children were vacationing in Portugal prior to the meeting outside London. British media reported that no photographs or video would be released.

Prince Harry is getting backlash for his appearance on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” on Wednesday night, even getting booed by the audience for making a quip about President Trump.
The estranged British royal family member participated in an awkward skit. “I genuinely thought this was the audition for the Gingerbread Prince saves Christmas in Nebraska,” Meghan Markle’s husband said while coming out onto the stage.
Harry joked he wanted to go into acting because he knew Americans were “obsessed” with Christmas movies and royalty. Colbert pretended to disagree, prompting Prince Harry to say, “Really? I heard you elected a king.” 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Will Prince Harry Ever Get To Be A Hallmark Christmas Movie Prince?" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/plsvrxGZnyA?start=179&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Even Colbert’s audience reacted to the joke with booing and other noises of dissent. 
“That’s a fair point, he’s got a point,” the late show host told the crowd.
“And often making such a big deal about my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather George III,” Harry added, referencing the king of Great Britain during the American Revolution.
While Trump’s name was only referenced once, the Duke of Sussex alluded to him again during his appearance while saying all the things he&#8217;d do to become a Hallmark movie prince. 
“I’ll record a self-tape, I’ll fly myself to an audition, settle a baseless lawsuit with the White House. All the things you people on TV do,” Harry said, referencing the $16 million settlement Paramount paid Trump over the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris ahead of last year’s election.

“Harry, I didn’t do any of those things,” Colbert said.
“Maybe that’s why you’re canceled,” the British royal replied.
Colbert and Prince Harry ended their cringe skit by embracing awkwardly as fake snow fell on them. 
Some Americans have called on Trump to add Prince Harry to his list of people to deport, but the president addressed the matter earlier this year, joking about the British royal’s marriage.
“I don’t want to [deport Prince Harry],” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-hes-not-targeting-prince-harry-for-deportation-enough-problems-with-his-wife?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Says+He%E2%80%99s+Not+Targeting+Prince+Harry+For+Deportation%3A+%E2%80%98Enough+Problems+With+His+Wife%E2%80%99">told</a> The New York Post in February. “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Although Trump has not targeted Prince Harry for deportation, he has been vocal about his feelings for the self-exiled royal. In February 2024, Trump accused former President Joe Biden’s administration of “protecting Harry” and said he couldn’t promise the same.
“He betrayed the queen. That’s unforgivable,” President Trump told the U.K.’s Daily Express in an interview at the time. 
The royal couple has also voiced negative feelings about Trump over the years. During the 2016 presidential race, Markle called the president “divisive” and “misogynistic,” prompting Trump to call her statements about him “nasty.”
In 2020, Trump said he wasn’t “a fan” of Markle.
“I’m not a fan of hers and I would say this, and she probably has heard that, but I wish a lot of luck to Harry … because he’s going to need it,&#8221; Trump said.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not have their multi-year deal with Netflix renewed when it expires in September, according to a <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/35969847/prince-harry-meghan-netflix-deal-axed/">report</a> from The Sun.
The royal couple has launched several projects with the streaming giant since the announcement of their $100 million deal in 2020. These specials and shows have had varying degrees of success, with the 2022 docuseries “Harry &amp; Meghan” remaining the most popular among them. 
Meanwhile, other projects, such as Prince Harry’s “Polo” and Markle’s lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan,” have failed to capture the attention of Netflix’s audience. In a recent <a href="https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-the-first-half-of-2025">Engagement Report</a> put out by the streamer, the “Polo” documentary was listed as number 3,436 on the list of shows ranked by most-watched, while Markle’s new series came in at number 383.
A second season of “With Love, Meghan” has already been filmed and is set to debut in September. Her first <a href="https://people.com/chrissy-teigen-appear-season-2-meghan-markle-netflix-series-with-love-meghan-11736557">confirmed</a> guest star is Chrissy Teigen.
“There’s no animosity from either side,” an unnamed source told The Sun of Netflix’s decision not to renew the contract. “Things have just run their course.”
The insider also discussed why “Harry &amp; Meghan” was the most successful project so far. 
“Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair,&#8221; the source said, noting that the partnership ending represents a &#8220;huge loss of revenue.&#8221;
“They’re not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time,&#8221; the insider added. 
Prince Harry and Markle have had a hard time achieving fame and success in the United States after quitting their full-time working royal roles in 2020 and moving to California permanently. Critics have been vocal in their distaste, as reflected on social media after news of the Netflix partnership&#8217;s end came to light.
“Good. The grifters are out of business,” one person <a href="https://x.com/TerryinSoCalif/status/1948052133389213733">wrote</a>, echoing what many others were saying.
“I am only surprised that Netflix thought this was a good business decision in the first place,” another commenter <a href="https://x.com/julie_mcbane/status/1947997610658128182">observed</a>.
“Thank goodness. Insufferable fools,” a third agreed.

Prince Harry sat down for an interview in California with the BBC one day after losing an appeal to reinstate his security detail in the United Kingdom.
The former working British royal, who quit his official duties and fled to California with his actress wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020, said he was very upset at the outcome.
&#8220;I&#8217;m devastated &#8211; not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision, feeling as though this is okay. Is it a win for them?&#8221; Prince Harry said.
&#8220;I&#8217;m sure there are some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, [who] consider this a huge win,” he added.
Harry, 40, said his father, King Charles, &#8220;won&#8217;t speak to me because of this security stuff.” He also alluded to the king’s current cancer battle, saying he did &#8220;not know how much longer my father has,” per <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8074n5z597o">BBC</a>.
“I can&#8217;t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point,&#8221; the Duke of Sussex said during the interview. 
&#8220;There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,&#8221; he continued, saying that he has &#8220;forgiven&#8221; them.
&#8220;I would love reconciliation with my family. There&#8217;s no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious,&#8221; Prince Harry said, insisting that the security argument has &#8220;always been the sticking point.&#8221;
Markle and Harry share two children: Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4. The Duchess of Sussex did not address the interview, but did share a black and white photo on Instagram of her husband and the children facing away from the camera.

As for losing the court battle to reinstate security, Prince Harry said, “The things that they’re going to miss is, well, everything. I love my country &#8230; Despite what some people in that country have done.”
Harry added, “I miss the U.K., I miss parts of the U.K., of course I do … I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”

Gwyneth Paltrow had some fun with rumors that she&#8217;s been feuding with Meghan Markle, and posted a video featuring the two ladies visiting together.
It started when social media users thought a video Paltrow posted of herself in her kitchen cooking with no makeup on was a subtle dig at Markle’s new lifestyle Netflix series &#8220;With Love, Meghan.” Markle has faced criticism and dismal reviews that have panned the royal’s show as a disaster and pointless.
She captioned it, “My cleaner take on a classic breakfast: gluten-free buttermilk biscuits, not-so-perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, and crispy bacon<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/boyfriendbreakfast/"> #boyfriendbreakfast</a>.”
In response fans wrote things like, &#8220;Love this. No fake house, fake kitchen, fake hair extensions, fake friends just your beautiful true self. Such a breath of fresh air to see,” <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/gwyneth-paltrow-shuts-down-meghan-markle-feud-rumors-tongue-in-cheek-video">Fox News</a> noted.
Another person added, “With Shade, Gwyneth &#8230; I see what you did there.&#8221; 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
People were speculating that Gwyneth Paltrow was throwing shade at Meghan Markle in her latest reel.
Gwyneth just posted this in response to the speculation. <a href="https://t.co/J6KReC71Vd">pic.twitter.com/J6KReC71Vd</a>

Following all the online chatter about the two being involved in some kind of feud, the “Goop” founder posted a video on her Instagram Stories, answering one fan&#8217;s question that read, “Are you comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?”
In the clip, Paltrow said, “I genuinely do not understand this, at all whatsoever. Do you understand this?”
She then pans the camera over to a person sitting there with her — and it&#8217;s the Duchess of Sussex, eating some pie. In response, she just shrugs her shoulders, smirks, and appears to start laughing.
The online rumors followed an interview the Marvel star did recently with <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/gwyneth-paltrow-2025-interview">Vanity Fair</a> when she was asked if she knew her royal Montecito neighbors.
&#8220;I don’t know Meghan and [Prince]Harry,&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;I mean, I’ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don’t know her at all. Maybe I’ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie.&#8221;
She was also pressed about Markle’s lifestyle series, and as someone who found her way into that lane after her acting career with her “Goop” brand, Paltrow said there was plenty of space.
&#8220;There’s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them,” the actress said. &#8220;I was raised to see other women as friends, not foes. I think there’s always more than enough to go around. Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.&#8221;
Markle’s eight-episode series debuted on Netflix in March, and the duchess recently shared the news that it would be coming back for a second season. In the first week, the series placed in the top 10 on the streaming site, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/03/07/markles-with-love-meghan-renewed-for-another-season-despite-low-review-ranking/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainTwitter&amp;utm_source=ForbesMainTwitter">Forbes</a> noted.
