However, sources indicate that the Duke is now seeking a second residence in his home country. Despite being evicted by his father, King Charles, along with Meghan, from their former residence at Frogmore Cottage earlier this year, Harry is eager for his family to split their time between the UK and the US.
During his recent visit to London for the WellChild Awards last month, it is believed that the Duke was denied Royal accommodation, despite his previous ties. Nevertheless, despite strained relations with his relatives, Harry remains keen to spend more time in his home country with Meghan and their children.
However, this desire has reportedly caused some tension between Harry and Meghan. While Harry wishes to return to the UK more frequently, Meghan prefers to permanently stay in the US. According to insiders, the couple is planning to search for their own property near London, indicating a divide on this issue.
They will not be seeking property on the Royal Estate due to the complications surrounding Frogmore Cottage. However, occasional use of a small apartment in Kensington Palace is not ruled out. In September, Royal expert Tina Brown spoke to Piers Morgan about Meghan's apparent disdain for England, expressing her belief that Meghan feels rejected by the country and finds it cold and dull. Brown also highlighted Meghan's preference for the Hollywood scene.
Furthermore, Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, explained in an interview that although Harry may travel to the UK for personal projects, he is no longer included in intimate family gatherings. Burrell revealed that Harry's actions have hurt various family members, including his father, brother, sister-in-law, and stepmother.
According to Royal expert Duncan Lam, it is likely that Harry will continue to visit the UK regularly without Meghan, as he has done on previous occasions such as Prince Philip's funeral and the unveiling of Princess Diana's statue. Lam suggests that Harry's involvement with events like the Invictus Games, which are primarily based in London, may necessitate his return to the UK.
On the other hand, Meghan has not displayed any inclination or desire to spend substantial time in the UK or to relocate back temporarily. It seems that she has no particular affection for England. However, it is deemed sensible for Harry to maintain a UK base, allowing the couple to have a place to stay when needed.
