Prince Harry has recently hinted at the possibility of permanently returning to the UK with his wife, Meghan Markle.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been residing in the US since 2020, but a statement released by Harry during his three-day court battle with the Home Office suggests a potential move back to their home country.
In the statement, Harry referred to the US as his current home, implying that it may not be their permanent residence.
This revelation came as part of Harry’s legal pursuit to overturn a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures.
Last year, it was decided that Harry would no longer receive personal police protection in the UK after stepping down as a working royal and relocating to the US.
The statement, shared by Harry’s attorney, emphasized the importance of the UK in the heritage of his children and expressed his desire for them to feel at home there.
He stated, “The UK is my home.
The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US.
That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.”
Furthermore, Harry expressed concerns for both his wife and himself, stating that he does not want to put them in harm’s way.
He mentioned his reluctance to unnecessarily expose himself to danger based on his life experiences.
The decision to step down as senior royals in 2020 was not an easy one for Harry and Meghan, as it brought them great sadness, according to Harry’s statement.
In addition to his court battle with the Home Office, it has been revealed that Harry’s libel case against the Mail on Sunday regarding the publication of an article about his security arrangements will proceed to trial.
This update comes from a judge at the High Court, further adding to the ongoing legal challenges faced by the Duke of Sussex.
While it remains uncertain whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will indeed make a permanent return to the UK, this recent statement suggests that they are considering the possibility.
As their court battles continue, the future plans of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain a topic of interest and speculation.
