How Prince Harry Really Feels Since Leaving The UK
Prince Harry is back home in Montecito, California, after spending nine days in the UK. The Duke of Sussex arrived in London on April 11, two days after the death of his grandfather, Prince Philip. According to People magazine, Harry stayed at his old home — Frogmore Cottage — on the grounds of Windsor Castle during his trip. According to the Daily Mail, Harry was "conflicted" about whether to stay in the UK for Queen Elizabeth's 95th birthday on April 21, or to fly back to the U.S. to be with his pregnant wife, Meghan Markle. He ultimately chose to head home, arriving at his Montecito mansion around 4:00 p.m. local time on April 20.
This trip to the UK was an emotional one for Harry, as he was mourning the loss of his grandfather. In addition, this was the first time that Harry saw his family in more than one year. There has been a lot of tension between Harry and the royal family ever since he and Meghan made the decision to step down as senior members of the royal family. It is believed that tension worsened after Meghan and Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey aired on March 7. For these reasons, it's probably no surprise that Harry was looking forward to returning home to his wife and his son, Archie, as Us Weekly reports. Keep reading to find out how Harry is feeling now that he has reunited with Meghan.
