Prince Harry’s private meeting with King Charles appears to have marked the start of something much bigger.
The meeting saw him, Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet join King Charles and Queen Camilla for tea at Highgrove.
It was Meghan’s first visit to Britain since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, while Archie and Lilibet had not returned since the platinum jubilee of the same year.
Archie and Lilibet spoke to their grandfather regularly via FaceTime, but this was their first real opportunity to spend meaningful time with him in person.
Although reports later claimed Meghan was disappointed at not publicly supporting her husband during the visit and felt frustrated by the security controversy surrounding the trip, insiders insist the reunion itself remains the priority.
Harry would have felt optimistic after the meeting.
The next day, at a charity event, joking with children while participating in activities for Scotty’s Little Soldiers, the organization that supports grieving military families.
However, sources now indicate that the Sussexes are quietly exploring a path back to Britain.
According to friends of the duke, he increasingly feels that life in California no longer offers what he once hoped for.
A source claims Meghan also supports rebuilding ties to Harry’s British roots and is open to spending more time in Europe.
Rather than moving permanently, insiders say the couple plans to split more time between North America and Europe, using their home in Portugal as a convenient base.
The property would provide easy access to Britain while allowing the family greater privacy.
Harry is expected to return to the UK in September for another charity engagement, hoping to see the king again.
