  "account": "Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle have returned to the United Kingdom after three weeks in California, keeping a low profile since their arrival. Tensions regarding their security and relationship with the monarchy have emerged as their first public engagements approach. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated from California on August 26, but have not yet made any public statements officially confirming their move. Meghan has, however, used her personal Instagram account to share glimpses of their new life in the Cotswolds, posting videos of their children Archie and Lilibet, along with their two dogs. Harry was last seen publicly on September 7 at a London recording studio. He is set to appear at several events related to the Invictus Games charity for wounded veterans later this week, including an awards ceremony on September 21 for the WellChild charity. The Sussexes' return to Britain has been a subject of media coverage, with the couple's exact location and their children's schools reportedly undisclosed by the media to avoid revealing sensitive information. The couple's private security team expressed concerns about the length of their original daily commutes and heavy traffic on the route, leading UK media outlets to report that the independent body responsible for granting police protection to royals and politicians may review their case. Harry had previously ruled out returning to Britain due to security concerns following a legal battle to retain public funding for his protection in the United States. Buckingham Palace sought to clarify the couple's status earlier this month, stating that they are not considered working members of the royal family. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond noted that the letter sent by the Lord Chamberlain to various stakeholders indicated that the Sussexes' ambitions to resume working royal duties had been firmly rejected.",
