After five years of living in California, sources suggest the Duke of Sussex is increasingly nostalgic for his life in Britain. Reports indicate that King Charles and Prince William may even be quietly encouraging his return, hoping to rebuild strained family ties.

Royal commentator Lynn Carratt from E20 Communications explained to Express US that Harry is considering his options: “A return isn’t guaranteed, but it’s not off the table either. Harry is keeping his options open — which is why this conversation keeps resurfacing.”

However, Carratt noted that Meghan’s stance is very different. “Meghan had a difficult experience in the UK, and it’s unlikely she’d support a full-time return. Her identity, support network, and career presence are firmly anchored in the U.S.”

Adding fuel to the speculation, Harry recently wrote an essay where he referred to himself as “currently” living in the United States — a deliberate wording, says Carratt. “Harry knows the weight his phrasing carries. It sounds less like someone permanently settled abroad, and more like someone leaving room for change.”
