In August, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle surprised the world by moving back to the UK. Almost as soon as their feet touched British soil, they reportedly renewed efforts to regain their once-upon-a-time 24/7 taxpayer-funded police protection.
So far, they haven’t received the protection they are seeking. But rumors suggest they may be planning to skedaddle back to the US before the year even draws to a proper close.
And according to an insider, there are three solid reasons why.
The couple’s return has already attracted attention, particularly after Meghan Markle’s first joint UK outing with Prince Harry raised questions about their royal future.
During a recent outing in Nottingham, Meghan reportedly told the waiting crowd that “it’s good to be back.”
It hasn’t even been a week since then, and we’re learning that the Duchess is allegedly itching to return to her vibrant, socially active lifestyle in California.
According to an insider quoted by RadarOnline, the first reason involves being away from familiar surroundings, particularly her mother, Doria Ragland, who is now 70 and continues to live in Los Angeles.
The source also claims Meghan misses her California friendships, coastal lifestyle, and the independence she enjoyed during her six years in America.
Since their return, Meghan has reportedly enjoyed visits from the likes of Kelly Zajfen and Ellen DeGeneres. However, it would seem that these visits apparently don’t come close to the social circle she maintains in the US.
The possibility of another move has already been discussed, with reports suggesting Meghan could return to California while Harry continues his UK engagements.
While Harry and Meghan may have traded the elite neighborhood of Montecito for the UK, they still found a way to maintain the prestige of their surroundings by opting to move into a sprawling property in the Cotswolds.
However, despite trading one upscale neighborhood for another, Meghan reportedly still feels like an outsider.
The insider’s second claim concerns Meghan’s reception in the Cotswolds, where reports of unfriendly encounters with locals have allegedly complicated her efforts to establish relationships within the community.
The third issue reportedly involves the emotional associations of returning to Britain after her difficult departure from royal life.
The source pointed to Meghan’s previous descriptions of significant psychological distress during her time as a working royal, suggesting that renewed public scrutiny could be particularly difficult for her.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan’s reported plans to return to California for the holidays have fueled further speculation about how much time they intend to spend in Britain.
Harry, on the other hand, appears to feel more at home and energetic. He seemingly believes he can settle back into his old lifestyle without too much difficulty.
Whether Meghan will eventually feel the same way remains to be seen.
Meghan may have agreed to return to Britain, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s prepared to give up the California lifestyle she enjoyed for six years.
Harry has always had strong ties to his home country, while Meghan has her family, friendships, and business interests in America.
If the reports are accurate, the couple could eventually find themselves wanting very different things.
Do you think Meghan will settle into life in Britain, or will she convince Harry to return to California?
