Harry and Meghan’s return: How the drama unfolded in the years since Megxit
The couple’s move follows years of disputes over family ties, security and media battles, including a failed appeal over UK protection.
Six years after leaving for California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK, enrolling their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in British schools.
The Duke has enjoyed a rapprochement with his father, King Charles, in recent months; seeking a "refuge" in the UK, he reportedly wanted freedom to enjoy British summers without the "circus" surrounding recent visits.
While the Duke once described himself as "professional" at litigation, he recently lost his High Court claim against the Home Office over security; he previously settled hacking cases involving "unlawful activities."
Spotify executives once branded the couple "grifters" after a podcast deal collapsed, while Harry accused the royal family of a "horrible reaction" when Queen Elizabeth II died.
Despite this return, there has been no reunion with Prince William, who faced the "brutal" experience of both the King and Kate being diagnosed with cancer in the same year.
Just a year ago, a return from Harry and Meghan to Britain seemed unthinkable. Now they are coming back. Even King Charles was apparently surprised by the decision.
