Prince Harry is reportedly eager to return to England, but Meghan Markle isn’t so keen, according to a Royal expert.
The couple has been residing in California for the past five years, and it seems the novelty has worn off for Harry, who yearns to be back in his homeland. King Charles and Prince William are said to be leading the “Bring Harry Back” campaign, indicating that plans may be underway for this transition.
When it comes to the Sussexes, it’s generally assumed that they would choose to live in the same country. However, it’s always beneficial to have options, which is why we sought insight from Lynn Carratt, a public relations specialist at E20 Communications, who is well-versed in Royal affairs.

Carratt stated: “While a return isn’t guaranteed, it’s also not off the table. Harry keeping his options open – which is why this conversation keeps resurfacing.”

She further added: “Meghan had a difficult experience here, and it’s unlikely she’d welcome a full-time return. Her identity, support system, and career opportunities are firmly anchored in the U.S.”, reports the Express US.
There’s been considerable chatter about Harry’s potential return to the U.K., and he hasn’t done much to alter the narrative, a fact that Carratt observed and elaborated on.
She commented: “There’s certainly a lot of noise around the idea, and Harry hasn’t done much to quieten it.”
She added: “I wouldn’t say he’s packing his bags just yet, but I do think he’s leaving the door wider open than he has in years.”
Harry recently published an essay about his love of Great Britain, and said that he “currently” lives in the U.S., which gave the PR professional pause because “Harry knows the weight his phrasing carries.

“It reads less like a man fully settled abroad and more like someone allowing room for a shift in the future. He has always said he wants his children to know the country he grew up in and understand their heritage.”
There are happily married couples who live in different cities, states and even countries, which made us wonder if this is something Harry and Meghan may consider, in which Carratt explored.
She doesn’t see Meghan moving back to the U.K. full-time because it didn’t go so great the first time around, but possibly the Sussexes could come up with a plan that both the Duke and Duchess could spend more time in their hometowns.
“In today’s world, it’s not as unusual as it once looked. Plenty of couples maintain strong marriages while living in different cities or even different continents, especially when careers pull them in separate directions.
“And Harry and Meghan have always done things differently.”
When it comes to Ian Pelham Turner, former Royal photographer, he takes a stronger stance on Harry moving home, that the Duke is serious about. Pelham Turner, a friend of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, shared: “Harry is very serious about returning to Britain and I feel Meghan and the children would be made to feel welcome with them all spending part of the year in Britain and part of the year in America.
“I see no reason in this day and age why they cannot commit to taking up royal engagements especially with disabled people but also with ethnic communities.”
