Harry, Meghan planning return to UK? What we know
What's the story
Prince Harry has sparked rumors of a potential return to the United Kingdom with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children. This speculation was fueled by his recent conversation with singer Joss Stone at the WellChild Awards in London. During this charity event, where he has been a patron for many years, Harry praised Britain's sense of community and its strong education system.

Harry praised the UK's education system
Stone, who recently moved to the UK with her family, revealed that Harry spoke highly of the country's schools and the importance of community for children. She told Hello! magazine, "He was saying how wonderful the schools are here and how important community is for children." "It was nice to share that with him because it's exactly why we felt drawn to come back." "He's warm and down to earth. Maybe Harry will move back too. That would be nice."
Family focus
Harry wants his children to have similar experiences
A close friend of the Duke, quoted by Daily Mail, revealed that Harry is deeply concerned about his children's future. The source said, "He wants his children to have the very best education." "Harry feels Archie (6) and Lilibet (4) are missing out on the close-knit family network their cousins have in the UK."
Royal reunion
Meeting with King Charles III
The speculation about Harry's potential return also comes after a significant personal event: his private meeting with King Charles III at Clarence House earlier this month. The father and son reportedly spent nearly an hour together, during which Harry shared recent pictures and videos of his kids. Although Prince William was not present, the meeting is viewed as a possible step toward mending royal rifts.
Current residence
Life in California for the Sussexes
Since leaving their senior royal roles in 2020, Harry and Markle have been based in California. Their Montecito residence has served as a base for charitable initiatives, media projects, and raising their two children away from royal life. Still, recent events have fueled speculation about a potential UK return for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
