I think initially, you know, when they left and stepped back as working royals in 2020, it was Meaghan's turn. It was her turn to do something for her, for them to experience that side of life, which they did in Montecito for six years. And now they've probably decided, let's try something new, let's try something different, and let's see what Harry wants to do, how he can flourish being on his home soil and and again, outwith the confines of the royal family. I think that's key. You know, they're not going back to being working royals. People are always looking for the next thing to talk about. And arguably that will be, um, reconciliation between, uh, first of all, father and son and then potentially the two brothers public have lost a lot of feeling for him. There isn't the support there for him or Meghan that there was back in at the start of 2020. And he needs to sort of, uh, undergo a gentle sort of rebranding, uh, in order to, to, I think, win over the support and affection of the British people. I think, um, it's arguably easier for him to, to remodel himself as, uh, as a public figure within a UK context. The British press are going to be super interested in what they are doing. They're going to want to find out where the kids are going to school, where they're living, you know, how they spend their free time. The press are going to absolutely be so interested in that. And of course, Harry and Meghan have had a pretty torrid time when it comes to the British media and the British press. I think the fact that the lawsuits are now behind him that is important. The the issues with the British press have been settled, and I think he and Meghan will have thought about very carefully the the positives and the negatives of launching themselves back into the UK, given, you know, their past history with the British tabloids. Um, and I think they will have judged that ultimately it's the best thing for them and their family right now, despite the fact, you know, that they are going to have difficult encounters with journalists. They know what to expect now. Perhaps they are walking back into the lion's den, but they're walking back into a lion's den, prepared. You know, they're not bringing a knife to a gunfight. They know what they have to do, what they're going to come up against, and will prepare themselves better. And I think that's, that's key. You know, they know perhaps how this is going to go. So they know how to play the game a bit better. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Royal Experts Weigh In On Prince Harry and Meghan's Return to the U.K.","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/1heBrpv5/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-08-20T19:12:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/1heBrpv5.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/1heBrpv5/","duration":"PT2M24S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/1heBrpv5/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
