Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bid farewell to London to settle in the United States, the couple has enjoyed a seemingly idyllic life in sunny California.
The youngest son of King Charles III has shared his enthusiasm for his new life in Los Angeles with ‘Good Morning America,’ describing it as ‘amazing.’
He has even contemplated the possibility of applying for U.S. citizenship, though he acknowledges that it is not an immediate priority.
However, recent speculation from royal experts suggests that the Duke of Sussex may be considering a return to the UK in search of a new permanent home.
Why is Prince Harry looking for a home in England?
According to press reports, Prince Harry is feeling a growing homesickness for his life in Britain, which has led him to explore housing options in England.
Following his departure from Frogmore Cottage last year, the Duke finds himself without an official residence in his native country.
Speaking to The Mirror, Tom Quinn, an author and royal commentator, suggests that over time, Harry has become homesick for certain aspects of his British life.
The initial phase of fascination with America seems to be waning, and the prince is looking back, reminiscing about times gone by.
Quinn also mentions that Harry misses his Eton and army friends, many of whom have kept their distance, presumably due to disagreements with Meghan.
What about Harry’s security in England?
Prince Harry’s search for a residence in England could also be motivated by his legal fight to have the British taxpayer fund his personal security.
Harry has been engaged in a legal battle with the UK Home Office and has recently intensified his efforts following the government’s decision to reduce security measures for him and his family during their stays in the country.
Although the courts have not supported his initial request, if Harry is determined to return to Europe soon, he may need to find a new way to protect his family without the security he was accustomed to.
Prince Harry is at a crossroads, balancing his current life in California with the call of his homeland. As the debate over his safety continues, the world watches closely to see what the next chapter will be in the life of the Duke and his family.”
