PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN RETURN TO CALIFORNIA

Page Six reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have flown back to California. This follows an extended mourning period for the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September. The Duke and Duchess flew back to California on Tuesday 20 September, a day after the Queen’s state funeral on Monday 19 September.

Meghan reportedly did not get her one-on-one meeting with King Charles III before leaving. Daily Mail reported that the former Suits star requested a one-on-one meeting with the King.

“She’d now like before they return back to California to have a one-to-one audience with King Charles III. That’s right—Meghan one-to-one with King Charles. You heard correct. It’s a very brave move from Meghan herself,” said entertainment correspondent Neil Sean.

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUSSEX ARE RETURNING TO THEIR KIDS

Prince Harry and Meghan live in Montecito with their children Archie (3) and Lilibet (1). The two children stayed behind in California with Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland while their parents were in England for the Queen’s funeral.

The couple’s move came after they quit their royal duties in 2020 and went on to start a new life in California. The pair have dropped some bombshells after their “MegXit” which led to some tension between the pair and some members of the royal family.

However, King Charles III extended an olive branch to the pair in his first address to the nation as King.

“I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas,” he said in a pre-recorded video message that aired on TV on Friday 9 September.
