Harry and Meghan Back in Britain: A Quiet Return Amid a Relentless British Press

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have left California and moved back to the U.K., keeping their California and Portugal homes and planning to stay in Britain for an undetermined period. They visited King Charles at Highgrove, with Archie and Lilibet set to start the autumn term in the U.K. While reconciliation with the royal establishment is possible, the U.K. press remains notoriously hostile toward Meghan, Harry, and their Netflix-backed Archewell projects. Public mood appears wary, with polls suggesting many Britons doubt they can rebuild popularity, and questions linger about security arrangements and who pays for protection as their royal role remains limited.
