Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have lived in California for six years, but the couple are heading back to England this month in a shocking move. The Sussexes’ initial decision to leave the UK came amid safety concerns for their family, as well as racism in the press and isolation within The Firm. And apparently moving back isn’t exactly what Meghan wants.
“Moving back to the UK is not what Meghan wants, but they have no choice and Harry’s given her an ultimatum,” a source tells Woman’s Day, adding that Harry’s been “desperately unhappy” and there was “no other solution but to go back.”
“They always planned on doing this when Archie was ready for high school,” the source adds, “but the declining California education system was a huge deciding factor in doing it sooner rather than later.”
Some of Meghan’s friends are said to be especially concerned about “that long dark February when there’s not even Christmas lights or New Year cheer to lighten the gloom,” and a source notes that “Last time they were literally being treated like royalty, this time it will be the opposite. They’ve alienated one of the big UK papers with their failed lawsuit. The fear is something will go badly. They’re putting on a united front, but Meghan in the UK is a ticking time bomb.”
Rob Shutter released a report that the Sussexes are actually only moving back for six months as a “test,” so hopefully if the couple don’t like the environment, they can easily leave. More about that below!
