Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to enter a fresh chapter with their return to the UK, as Markle is expected to come and go between Britain and California. The Sussexes are coming to Britain for a long visit with their children, six years after stepping back from royal duties and moving to the USA. Since then, they have built an independent life away from the royal household while remaining closely followed. 

Now, after years of building a life away from the palace, the Sussexes’ return to Britain could look very different. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning a longer trip to the UK and reports suggest that Markle may "come and go" between Britain and California, as per Daily Mail. The couple is likely to have a private, non-royal base somewhere outside of London as their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are to start school in the UK. in September. While the prince could spend more time reconnecting with Britain and his family, his wife is expected to divide her time between the UK and their Montecito home.

The Sussexes are expected to divide their time between the countries as they adapt to their new arrangement, as per the report. They are said to be celebrating Christmas at the family’s Montecito home instead of the traditional royal gathering at Sandringham. The family is also expected to stop at their holiday home in Portugal.

The pair's return to Britain comes after years of living separately from the royal household due to several reasons. 

Several factors contributed to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to leave the UK in 2020, including constant media attention and concerns about privacy. The couple also felt overwhelmed by the expectations of the royal household, and wanted greater freedom to pursue their own commercial and charitable interests. Another big factor was keeping their kids away from the constant public eye. Eventually, their departure had them forge a new life in the United States away from the pressures of the royal life. 

Now, a move back to Britain would be a seismic shift in how the Sussexes split their lives between the UK and the USA. While the prince may get the chance to reconnect with his home country and family, his wife’s expected schedule of going back and forth suggests that their life will remain split between two countries. The move could bring the family closer to the Duke's roots without the prospect of a return to royal duties.
