Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are orchestrating a return to Britain as reports mount that the Sussexes are actively plotting their next moves. Fresh off a high-stakes family reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House – marking the couple’s first visit to Britain together with their children since 2022 – talk has quickly turned to what comes next.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Daily Expresso podcast, host JJ Anisiobi and Talk TV’s Mark Dolan revealed that Harry is already mapping out his next trip to the UK as a broader strategy takes shape.
The couple’s long-term focus in California appears to be shifting rapidly: “They want to reverse Mexit. They want to come back to the UK,” Mr Anisiobi said.
Addressing their current standing across the Atlantic, Mr Dolan stressed that the Sussexes are facing mounting pressures in the US, making a royal reset critical for their public image.
“They’re both struggling in America for different reasons, and they both need to recalibrate their royal credentials. Meghan needs to be Princess Meghan again,” he said.
King Charles’s next royal tour revealed – and the location will surprise you
King Charles and Queen Camilla are planning a state visit to a country the UK has not visited in nearly 40 years, it has been claimed. The King and Queen will reportedly head to Spain sometime in 2027; however, the dates of the visit have not yet been confirmed.
It would be the UK’s first official visit to the Mediterranean country since 1988, Hello! magazine reports. Then, the late Queen Elizabeth was welcomed by the former King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia. She was joined by her husband, Prince Philip. Charles and Camilla are likely to be welcomed by the Spanish king, Felipe VI and Queen Letizia.

Prince George shares his birthday with another royal after grandma’s snub
Count Felix of Monpezat is marking his 24th birthday today, the same day that Prince George celebrates turning 13.
As the younger son of Prince Joachim and his first wife, Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, the royal is also the grandson of the former Danish Queen, Margrethe II.
Count Felix was born on July 22, 2002. The young Danish royal, his brother, Count Nikolai and their half-siblings, Count Henrik and Countess Athena, were all stripped of their royal and HRH titles in 2023.
Instead, all four of Prince Joachim’s children are now known as Count or Countess of Monpezat.
The title reflects the hereditary titles of Danish nobility and despite losing their princely titles, they retain their places in the line of succession.

Prince George’s 13th birthday ‘extremely significant’ ahead of big Eton move
Prince George turns 13 today, meaning that Prince William and Princess Catherine are officially the parents of a teenager. The young prince, who is likely to spend the day with his nearest and dearest, is set to be surrounded by celebration as he marks the start of his teenage years.
His big day comes just months before he is set for a big life change as he prepares to move to Eton College. The future King, who is currently second-in-line to the throne, will be a boarder at the all-boys school just like his father Prince William once was. With such a big move coming up for George, one royal expert has noted just how significant his 13th birthday is.

Meghan Markle will hate one thing when Princess Kate becomes Queen
Meghan Markle is likely to hate one thing when Princess Catherine becomes Queen, a royal expert has said. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, quit royal life six years ago, and doesn’t seem to miss royal life.
During this time, and even before, Meghan reportedly began experiencing fractured relationships with members of her husband’s family. This reportedly included Princess Catherine, with their rumoured infamous bridesmaid dress row well reported on. It is believed that the sisters-in-law no longer talk to one another, and haven’t for some time.
Speaking about their relationship, royal expert Jennie Bond said she thinks the problem between them was that Meghan did not like that Catherine was a more senior royal than she was.

Prince Harry’s secret return plot ‘exposed’ – not to the UK
Prince Harry reportedly has his sights set on calling a new place home, but it won’t be the UK. The Duke of Sussex, who quit royal life six years ago, has lived in America since 2020.
While rumours have always been swirling as to whether or not he will ever return to the UK full-time, it has always been believed that the answer will be no. This is because Harry seems settled in America with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. However, it seems that the family could be set for a move at some point.
Harry and Meghan blasted for ‘hypocritical’ move – ‘like politicians!’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of “complete hypocrisy” amid reports they could look to spend more time in the UK. Talk TV host Jeremy Kyle claimed the couple, who stepped down as senior royals and moved to the US in 2020, are acting “like politicians”. Kyle said Prince Harry and Meghan had been critical of the Royal Family and the UK, but “suddenly” want their children Archie and Lilibet to be have prince and and princess titles.
He said: “It is complete hypocrisy by both of them. And again, a bit like politicians, do they not suss out that the British public, the silent majority, have an opinion of them that frankly isn’t going to change?” Royal commentator Dickie Arbiter added “it’s not going to change” and said it appears they want “the best of both worlds”.

Prince Harry and Meghan have one power over the King – true colours will be exposed
OPINION BY JASMINE CAREY
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have had to listen to King Charles’s wants when it came to the Highgrove reunion a few weeks ago, but it’s safe to say they ultimately hold the cards. While the monarch can decide certain factors about reunions if they are to happen, e.g. whether cameras are allowed and so on, the rest of it is in the hands of his youngest son and his daughter-in-law.
Why, you ask? Well, they are the parents of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. And this gives them one power the monarch doesn’t have.
