Prince Harry is reportedly feeling homesick and considering purchasing a property in the UK to establish a more permanent connection with his homeland. Currently residing in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex is said to be torn between his contentment with his new lifestyle and a longing for his roots.
According to sources, Harry's interest in acquiring a home in the UK stems from a desire to visit more frequently and potentially initiate peace talks with his family. However, any decision regarding a UK property is on hold until his security concerns are addressed.
Harry's former butler, Grant Harrold, revealed that the prince has been contemplating this move for some time and may have finally made up his mind. Despite his strained relationship with his family, Harry recently rushed to London for a brief visit after his father, King Charles, was diagnosed with cancer.
While there are conflicting opinions on whether Meghan would support splitting their time between the US and the UK, it is suggested that she may not be keen on spending extended periods in the UK due to feeling rejected by the country. However, some believe that having a family home in the UK could help Harry rebuild bridges with his family and establish a connection for the sake of their children.
Harry's legal battle over security in the UK has been ongoing since he relinquished his royal duties in 2020. Despite losing his taxpayer-funded security, Harry continues to pursue an automatic right to armed protection while in the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently vacated Frogmore Cottage, their former residence in the UK, to reportedly make way for Prince Andrew. The couple had repaid the renovation costs of the cottage and intended to keep it as their base for visits to the UK.
Overall, Prince Harry's potential move back to the UK signifies a complex blend of personal longing, family dynamics, and security concerns that continue to shape his decisions regarding his ties to both the US and the UK.
