Prince Harry's return to Britain has not exactly been smooth, but sources say the Duke of Sussex is refusing to let early setbacks slow him down. Since landing back on home soil, he has reportedly taken charge of keeping the family steady while the couple settles into their new home and sorts out daily routines for their children.
The move back to the UK was described as an "eventful" experience, with several unexpected hurdles arriving at once. Harry has already returned to his engagements and the causes close to his heart. Meghan, meanwhile, has yet to establish her own presence in Britain and continues to run her business, As Ever, remotely.
According to reports, the Duchess is still unsure about the relocation and is said to be rattled by the ongoing security concerns. The couple is waiting on a decision from RAVEC, the committee that reviews protection arrangements for royals and other high-profile figures, and until that ruling arrives, the uncertainty is hanging over the family.
With the security decision still pending, Harry has reportedly been calming his wife's worries and assuring her that everything is under control on British soil. Not everything is settled between them, though.
A friend of the couple says they disagree over one key idea: Meghan has a backup plan to move into a hotel if their privacy is breached again. Harry reportedly sees this as a bad move. An insider told New Idea that he believes staying in a hotel would leave them even more exposed.
Despite the rocky start, the same source claims Harry is enjoying his work and has not looked this happy in years. People close to him say he appears more relaxed, smiling and connecting with others, and that his confidence is at a high. Being back in familiar territory seems to suit him, which is why he struggles to understand the idea of hiding away in a hotel.
All eyes are now on the RAVEC decision, which could shape where and how the Sussex family lives in the UK. Until then, Harry appears determined to make the move work, while Meghan weighs her options.
