In a departure that sent shockwaves across the globe, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family in 2020. The couple traded the historic grandeur of royal palaces for a new life in California. This record decision raised questions about their future and whether a complete break from the United Kingdom was truly permanent. Now, whispers of a potential return are growing louder, sparking curiosity about what a new chapter for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might look like.

A potential return to the United Kingdom could offer Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s future a stronger connection to their roots.

The Duke of Sussex has hinted that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, are considering a return to his homeland, a decision possibly influenced by their young children. As reported by Hello! Magazine, at the recent WellChild Awards in London, Prince Harry spoke with singer Joss Stone, candidly discussing his love for the "community" spirit in the UK and its strong education system. "He was saying how wonderful the schools are here and how important community is for children," Stone said.

Stone, who recently relocated to the UK, felt "nice" to be on the space page like Prince Harry about the schools and community in the UK, which even prompted her to come back home. The singer further shared with Hello! that Prince Harry was "genuinely interested" in her move and how she thinks that the Duke might "move back too." This comes in between when the chances of extending an olive branch are at an all-time high between the Duke and the King.

The possibility of a reconciliation with his father, King Charles, may also be a contributing factor to the Duke’s potential return.

Speculation about a major move back to his homeland intensified following Prince Harry’s private meeting with his father, King Charles, at Clarence House. This meeting, which had been "under consideration" for some time, is seen as a sign of a potential reconciliation between father and son. While he met the King, Prince William was absent from the meeting. The meeting fell into place at a time when the Duke was in UK for the WellChild Awards.

The Duke of Sussex spoke about the profound impact of parenthood during the WellChild Awards, expressing the indescribable love he and Meghan Markle have for their children. He shared how becoming a parent changes everything and makes one feel even more emotional about the challenges faced by families. With reconciliation in the air and the Duke's heightened interest in Joss Stone moving back to the UK, the Californian royals might just come back to the UK soon.
