Reports have emerged that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be returning to the UK soon, more than six years after they stepped back from royal duties and moved to the United States. Sources suggest this transition could take place by the end of the month. The couple is reportedly moving back with their children, 7-year-old Prince Archie and 5-year-old Princess Lilibet, who have already signed up for schools in Britain. King Charles has reportedly been informed about their plans.
Following the news, royal commentators have started discussing the reasons behind their decision. Kinsey Schofield, a commentator, referred to the move as an “admission of failure,” suggesting that it indicates the couple still relies on the monarchy. She pointed out that they had previously left the UK to seek freedom and independence.
When they initially stepped away from royal life, they aimed for financial independence and agreed to give up their royal titles. Schofield expressed skepticism about the couple receiving a warm welcome back. She noted that they had criticized the monarchy for years and questioned if they could expect a friendly reception now that their life in California hasn’t worked out as expected.
Schofield found it notable that King Charles learned about the move only recently. She suggested that if there were significant reconciliation in the royal family, the King would have been consulted before the decision was made. However, reports indicate that Charles is happy about the prospect of spending more time with his family.
While acknowledging some progress in Harry’s relationship with his father, Schofield warned that this does not mean Harry’s issues with his brother, Prince William, have been resolved. She mentioned that there is still a lack of trust between the brothers and highlighted that William has been left to handle the responsibilities that Harry abandoned.
Schofield criticized the situation, arguing it is unfair that Harry was able to publicly air grievances and explore independence for six years, only to return when things did not work out as planned. Over these years, the couple sought entertainment deals and built a life outside of royal duties. Schofield concluded that their reported return suggests that their attempt at independence did not succeed as they had hoped.
