Prince Harry appears to rule out UK return for children Archie and Lilibet
Prince Harry, 40, sat down with New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times 2024 DealBook Summit, and as well as addressing divorce rumours, he spoke about his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom he shares with wife Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex made it clear that he was pleased with the family’s decision to move stateside in 2020, and he appeared to rule out a UK return because of one reason…
“I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here,” he said before explaining that his children have the freedom to do things that they “undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK.”
This is a notion Meghan Markle has alluded to herself, during an interview with The Cut.
The interviewer, Allison P. Davis, wrote: “Earlier in our conversation about her goals for the life she’s creating here, she’d remarked upon how, if Archie were in school in the UK, she’d never be able to do school pickup and drop-off without it being a royal photo call with a press pen of 40 people snapping pictures.”

Security is of high importance to the couple, and they have gone to extreme lengths to ensure that their property is fully protected.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s home security features

A commonplace feature in many royal and A-list homes, this distances the main access entrance from the building itself, providing an element of privacy and heightened security.
They will have cameras and in-person security too, giving an extra layer of protection to their regal-looking casa.

Do Prince Harry and Meghan have a UK base now?

The presenter has purchased a Cotswolds farmhouse with her wife Portia de Rossi, providing a potential place for Harry and Meghan to stay considering they are good pals with Ellen.
