They will reportedly stay in a private, non-royal home while retaining their California and Portugal homes.
Meghan Markle’s friend reveals her feelings about UK return
Meghan Markle’s former friend dishes on her and Prince Harry’s reported return to the UK. Nick Ede addressed this with Cafe Casino and explained that the Duchess of Sussex would approach this with mixed emotions, as she shares a tumultuous relationship with the British media.
Ede said: “I imagine Meghan would approach it with very mixed emotions. Britain was the setting for her wedding and one of the most extraordinary chapters of her life, but it is also associated with intense scrutiny, negative headlines and a period she has described as deeply painful.”
Furthermore, Ede emphasized that, unlike the last time Markle lived in the UK, this time she is coming more prepared. The actress has established herself as a lifestyle entrepreneur and a creative force. The source stated: “She would not be arriving as a new royal expected to learn an unfamiliar system. She would be coming back as an independent woman with her own businesses, profile and boundaries. That could make the experience feel much more manageable.”
Moreover, Ede elucidated that the Sussexes have maintained complete privacy around their new home in the UK and their children’s school. This could serve as a means to maintain privacy around their time in the UK.
The royal expert and former friend of the Duchess said: “She may never feel entirely relaxed about the British media, but a private home and clearly defined separation from royal duties could allow her to engage with the UK on her own terms.”
As per a report by PEOPLE, King Charles was “made aware” of the Sussexes’ plans on Sunday, August 16. The ageing monarch has reportedly welcomed this as an opportunity to connect with his younger son, daughter-in-law, and his two grandchildren.
