Since quitting life as a senior member of the Royal Family, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been living across the pond in their Montecito mansion.
With ongoing rows over Prince Harry’s US visa following the revelation of his past drug use in his 2023 memoir Spare, many royal fans have been questioning whether the couple would return to England if the duke had his right to live in America revoked.
However, this idea of a return to the UK has been squashed by many, with Meghan, 43, making her feelings clear years ago that she never wants to return to her husband’s home country.
In the book Endgame, which was released last year, author Omid Scobie said that the Duchess of Sussex “never felt at home” in the UK and “never wants to set foot again in England”.
This has been hinted at by the duchess herself, who has not visited the country with Harry since 2022 when they attended the funeral of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth.
Since then, Harry has visited the UK many times, however, this has always been alone.
This includes his flight over for the King’s Coronation last year, his visit to his dad this year after the King’s cancer diagnosis, and the WellChild Awards ceremony just last month.
The duke, 40, was also alone this summer when he flew to the UK for a Spencer family funeral, staying at the childhood home of his late mother Princess Diana with his uncle Earl Charles Spencer.
The idea that Meghan may never return to the UK has also been suggested by a number of royal experts.

Charles Rae, former Royal Correspondent for The Sun, told GB News: “In terms of Meghan, I’m of the school that does not believe that Meghan will ever return to this country.
“She’s had plenty of ways that she could return with the Duke of Sussex, and she’s decided that she doesn’t want to.
“She’s made one stop over in this country at an airport when Harry was here, he picked her up at the airport, and they flew off for some sort of royal visit.
“But, no, I don’t believe that she ever wants to come back to this country, which is a great pity. But she’s made her bed, she wants to lie in it, and she’s going to carry on staying in California.”
