Harry and Meghan are experts in surprise - but is their UK return forever?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to return to the UK, leaving behind their life in California. The couple has become adept at making unexpected decisions, and their recent move signals a desire to spend more time in Europe, closer to Harry's family and for the children's education. Although no specific location has been announced, the Sussexes are believed to be considering properties in the Cotswolds or Northampton area.

Harry's recent visit to the UK in July, where he spent time with his grandmother, the Queen, and his mother's family, solidified the decision to move back. The move is not due to any issues in the United States but rather the couple's wish to be closer to Harry's family and provide their children with an education in the UK. The King has been informed of the couple's plans but has not been involved in the decision-making process.

While the move may bring some relaxation for Harry and Meghan, it is unlikely to mend the strained relationship with the Prince of Wales, as tensions remain high following their public disputes and personal revelations in their memoir and Oprah interview. The Sussexes will not resume royal duties and will be classified as non-working royals, meaning any activities they undertake will be purely private.

Meghan has expressed interest in expanding her brand, As Ever, outside the US, raising questions about potential collaborations with the King's Duchy Organic products. As with all things Harry and Meghan, public perception will likely depend on the complex mix of affection and skepticism that surrounds the couple.
