Prince Harry’s private meeting with King Charles appears to have marked the beginning of something much bigger.
At the meeting, he, Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, joined 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 had spoken regularly with their grandfather via FaceTime, but this was their first real opportunity to spend meaningful time with him in person.
Although subsequent reports claimed that Meghan was disappointed at not publicly supporting her husband during the visit and was frustrated by the security controversy surrounding the trip, insiders insist that the meeting itself remained the priority.
Harry reportedly felt optimistic after the meeting.
During a charity engagement the next day, he joked with children while participating in activities for Scotty’s Little Soldiers, the organization that supports grieving military families.
However, sources now say 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 with Harry’s British roots and is keen to spend more time in Europe.
Instead of moving permanently, insiders say the couple is considering splitting their time more between North America and Europe, using their home in Portugal as a convenient base.
The property reportedly offers easy access to Britain while allowing the family greater privacy.
Harry is expected to return to the UK in September for another charity engagement, in the hope of meeting the King again.
