However, his wife, Meghan Markle, seems to hold a less enthusiastic stance towards frequent visits, as per sources close to the couple. In an exclusive revelation to the Sunday Times, an insider disclosed the divergent views within the couple regarding their return to the UK.
Prince Harry harbors a strong desire to reconnect with his homeland, particularly for charity work, the source revealed. On the contrary, Meghan Markle seems to have a different perspective when it comes to returning more frequently.
The insider further commented on the couple's situation, emphasizing that not having a fixed residence presents its challenges. While they have friends and hotels to rely on, it's apparent they would prefer a stable base.
Despite the challenges and the tumultuous events of the past, Prince Harry still finds the idea of having a base in his home country appealing. The insider added that there's more charity work to be done in the UK, and there will likely be future opportunities requiring his presence there.
Previously, the couple resided at Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate, a property gifted to them by the late Queen. However, earlier this year, they received an eviction notice and subsequently returned the keys to King Charles.
The insider noted the couple's attachment to Frogmore Cottage, stating that if they could have retained it, they would have, as it was the perfect setup for them. During his last stay there, Prince Harry personally cleared out the cottage, reflecting his fondness for the place.
Recent reports indicate that Prince Harry now must provide notice whenever he wishes to visit his father, King Charles, and stay at any Royal Property. This requirement was implemented after he was denied a room at Windsor Castle during his most recent UK visit.
The Duchess of Sussex, who currently resides in Montecito, California, alongside Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, sought permission to stay at Windsor Castle while his father was at Balmoral in Scotland. Unfortunately, his request was denied due to the unavailability of properties on short notice.
Despite stepping down as senior royals in 2020, Prince Harry maintains a deep connection to the UK. He places great value on the opportunity to engage in charitable work and maintain ties with his family. However, logistical challenges and differences in preferences with Meghan Markle add complexity to their dynamic. As the world watches with interest, it remains to be seen how their relationship with the UK will evolve in the coming years.
