Prince Harry’s UK return partly pushed by ‘dislike’ of US President Donald Trump
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are understood to be returning to live here for an “extended period” within a matter of days – partly due to the US President
Prince Harry is returning to Britain partly because he and wife Meghan are sick of Donald Trump, according to US sources. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be returning to live here for an “extended period” within a matter of days.
Their children Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, are set to be enrolled at a British school. The ex-Royal pair are said to be fed-up with the gobby US President and the way he’s been running America.
And despite an idyllic lifestyle out on the west coast, they need a break from the Orange Manbaby. Harry couldn’t hide his happiness at a roundtable event in Washington on Wednesday night discussing increased support for veterans.

Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, said: “They are moving back to Britain because they don’t like President Trump.”
And in a dig at the Sussexes, she said that Meghan “always just wanted to be a celebrity” and claimed that the couple were “broke”.
US sources also said “they have made no secret of their disillusionment with the current White House” as the midterm elections loom stateside.
Trump and King Charles on the other hand appear to be on good terms
Conservative personality Megyn Kelly said online in reply to comments about ‘Megxit’ being reversed: “We’ve done our time here in America my dear friend!”
Tensions have been strained between the president and Prince Harry, particularly after Trump claimed in January that NATO allies “stayed a little back” from the front lines during the war in Afghanistan.
He also questioned whether NATO would come to America’s aid if the US “ever needed them”.

Harry, who served in Afghanistan, rebuked him with a statement, which read: “I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there.”
The pair are said to believe that the British public is “warming” to them, especially Meg, again after their Netflix career in the US flatlined.
They are believed to have quietly stayed with a wealthy associate in the Cotswolds during a recent visit to the UK in early July.

The Sussexes reportedly house hunted and made a “secret reconnaissance” of the sought-after celebrity enclave before announcing their move to the UK.
Stars like David Beckham and Jeremy Clarkson have sprawling homes there.
But questions remain over whether taxpayers will foot the bill for the royal couple’s £5m security bill when they return to Britain.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would not be drawn on their security arrangements, saying the funding for it was a “private matter”.

He added: “It’s a matter for Harry and for Meghan, and we wish them well in the moves that they’re making.”
Harry has faced a protracted legal battle with the Home Office over the security arrangements for him and his family while in the UK.
This came after his level of protection changed when he stepped down as a working royal in 2020.
King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, is understood to “welcome” the prospect of spending more time with his son and grandchildren on a private and personal basis.
However, the King is said to have made clear there will be “no alteration” to Harry and Meghan’s position or status as private individuals and non-working members of the Royal Family.
