Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly planning a return to the United Kingdom this month, with sources suggesting they intend to enroll their children, Archie and Lilibet, in schools starting in September. This potential move comes six years after the couple stepped back from official royal duties and relocated to California.
However, sources close to the royal family have told The Mirror that Prince William and King Charles III are united in their view that Harry and Meghan should not return as working members of the royal family. The possibility of a 'half-in, half-out' arrangement, where the couple would perform some royal duties while maintaining their independence, has also been rejected.
Friends of Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, reportedly state that the couple 'cannot forgive' Harry and Meghan for past public accusations. Despite this, William and Catherine are said to be focused on 'looking to the future' rather than dwelling on the past. The news has reignited speculation about the couple's relationship with the royal family and where they might reside, with the Cotswolds region being mentioned as a possibility.
Meanwhile, a YouGov poll conducted the day after these reports emerged revealed that 33% of respondents would not want Harry and Meghan to return to live in the UK. Only 21% would support such a move, while 45% expressed no opinion on the matter.
