Did failures trigger Prince Harry and Meghan’s return to UK?

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, plan to move back to the United Kingdom from the United States by the end of the month. According to reports, they will settle in a private, non-royal residence outside London. The couple's two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have already been enrolled in a British school and will start classes in September.

The reasons behind the move are not clear, but some commentators suggest that Harry and Meghan's US venture has not lived up to expectations. Their cookery series and Netflix deal have not been successful, and they have also lost their Spotify deal. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told AFP that the couple may be concerned about Prince William potentially removing their royal titles.

King Charles III was informed of the move on Sunday and welcomes the opportunity to spend more time with his family in a private capacity. There are no plans for Harry and Meghan to resume their roles as working royals, and they will remain private individuals. The couple left the UK and stepped back from their royal duties in early 2020, and have been living in California since then.
