Prince Harry wants Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to ‘feel at home in UK’ – ‘Central to their heritage’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are raising their children in California
Prince Harry has said the UK is “central to the heritage of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet”, a royal commentator has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the UK in March 2020 and subsequently moved to California, where they now raise their two children.
Prince Archie, four, spent the first five months of his life in Windsor, however, Princess Lilibet was born in the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in 2021.
When Prince Harry returned to the UK for his court case against the Home Office over a decision to downgrade his security protection when visiting, he spoke about the UK being his “home”.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond said: “I was very interested to hear Harry say in evidence to a court that he still regards the UK as his home and that it is central to the heritage of his children.
“He says he wants them to feel at home in the UK as much as where they live at the moment in the US.
“This is the clearest indication we’ve had that the prince has not turned his back on his home country once and for all.”
The author also told OK!: “Indeed, it sounds as life in the USA is not necessarily permanent. It tells us that he does indeed miss aspects of his previous life and that he does want his children to understand the world they were born into.
“But I don’t think it proves he’s uncomfortable with his life in California. He believes this is the best place for his wife and family for now.
“He has a measure of freedom and relaxed lifestyle that would be hard to replicate over here at the moment.
“So he does indeed have to make the best of it, but I don’t honestly believe that’s too hard for him as things stand.
“There is one heck of a lot of awkwardness in the offing when, and if, he sees his UK family again.”
![Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be considering a move back to the UK, as suggested by a former royal butler. The couple, who famously stepped away from royal duties in 2020 to establish a more private life in California, have only made a few trips back to Britain since their departure. However, speculation is mounting that they could be eyeing a more permanent return. Despite their limited visits, both Harry and Meghan were present for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, which coincided with Lilibet's first birthday. Last year saw Prince Harry attending King Charles' historic coronation at Westminster Abbey solo, as Meghan remained in the US due to the event clashing with Archie's fourth birthday. The Duke of Sussex made a swift return to their Montecito residence after briefly participating in the ceremony. He then made two short dashes over to the UK this year - one in the wake of the announcement of King Charles' cancer diagnosis, and another last month for an Invictus Games event. An ex-royal butler previously hinted that the Sussexes were contemplating a more lasting stay in the UK, with potential plans to purchase property, following their eviction from their Frogmore Cottage base on the Windsor Estate last summer. Grant Harrold, a former butler to King Charles, told the New York Post: "I'd never say never, it's always possible that one day he might want to come home, it's possible that he might buy [a property] here if he wanted to come over [more] and Meghan didn't want to come over. "Meghan doesn't really have any family here as such, all her family are in the States and that's where Harry has decided he wants to set up his home." Grant, who spoke for Oddspedia, comprehends the difficulty Prince Harry may have in completely leaving behind his British roots: "He'll want to have that association with Britain just in case one day he does want to come back and I don't think Harry will want to sever ties." However, Grant did acknowledge that Prince Harry seems "happy in the States" and noted that a return to the UK wouldn't be imminent, although he clarified it could be "very possible" in the future.](https://gistpicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/1898388_1.jpg)
