Doria Ragland will reportedly remain in her home near Los Angeles rather than relocate to the UK with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and their children. The reason given is that she has an established life in California, though she is expected to visit the family. Harry is described as being close to Ragland, while Archie and Lilibet are said to have a strong bond with their maternal grandmother. King Charles III reportedly welcomes the family’s return and the prospect of seeing them more often.

Royal commentators Emily Andrews and Hugo Vickers argue that Prince Harry appears unfulfilled because he lacks a clear sense of purpose after stepping down as a working royal and moving to the United States with Meghan Markle. Andrews says Harry is searching for something he may never find, while Vickers attributes his dissatisfaction to choosing perceived happiness over royal duty. Harry has reportedly expressed enjoyment of raising his children in the US but is also said to miss aspects of life in the UK.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly preparing to move to the UK with Archie and Lilibet for an extended period, although they will not resume working royal duties. Legal expert James Legg says that if the children become habitually resident in England, English courts could potentially gain jurisdiction over decisions concerning them if the couple later separate. The move could also disrupt the children’s schooling, friendships and established life in California, while requiring them to maintain family relationships on both sides of the Atlantic.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly preparing to move from California back to the UK with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while retaining their status as private, non-working members of the Royal Family.

King Charles III and other senior royals have reportedly been informed and are said to welcome more private family contact.

Meghan Markle reportedly asked guests at her 2011 wedding to Trevor Engelson in Jamaica not to post on social media.

Prince William is reportedly unwilling to forgive Prince Harry, with royal commentator Phil Dampier saying William views the relationship as part of the past and is focused on Princess Catherine and their children. The rift is attributed to Harry's departure from royal life and revelations in Spare, a Netflix production and an Oprah Winfrey interview. Although the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's death could provide an opportunity for reconciliation, Dampier predicts William will avoid Harry, including at the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

Joe Marler described Prince Harry as friendly and immediately approachable when he arrived to record an episode of the Joe Marler Will See You Now podcast. Marler said Harry greeted and hugged the hosts, making the occasion feel normal within seconds. Harry discussed fatherhood and mental health and identified himself as a full-time father and British Army veteran rather than leading with his royal title.

Prince Harry was invited by King Charles III to visit Balmoral in September 2022 as Queen Elizabeth II's health deteriorated, but Meghan Markle was not invited.

Recent public appearances have offered glimpses of his former image, but have not substantially improved his standing.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly differ in how they approach public exposure for their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Royal editor Matt Wilkinson says Harry is particularly reluctant to have the children photographed because he grew up under intense media scrutiny, while Meghan is more comfortable sharing images of them, including on Instagram. Harry has previously said that royal children inherit media-related risks without choosing them.

King Charles III reportedly has an affectionate reaction when Archie and Lilibet are mentioned and is determined to build a closer relationship with his youngest grandchildren.

Jobson said any assistance would come from the King’s private funds rather than public money.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcomed their third child, a daughter, in Portugal on August 3.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said Meghan likely remains focused on life in California, her children and her business ventures.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank welcomed their first daughter on August 3, but have not yet announced her name.

Meghan Markle is celebrating her 45th birthday in California with Prince Harry and their children. The article questions whether the British Royal Family should publicly acknowledge her birthday, noting the strained relationship since Meghan and Harry stepped down as working royals in 2020.

The meeting was reportedly arranged for King Charles III to see Archie and Lilibet, whom he had not seen in person since 2022, and the source claimed that further leaks could permanently damage the relationship.

Charles Spencer, Earl Spencer, has highlighted severe fly-tipping and criminal waste dumping on land associated with his Althorp estate in Northamptonshire. The waste reportedly included construction debris, asbestos, burnt-out cars, plastic bags containing restaurant waste, and a farmhouse that was deliberately set on fire, leading his family to sell 310 acres of farmland.

Prince Harry reportedly asked Meghan Markle not to pose for photographs in front of India’s Taj Mahal before their 2018 wedding. He explained in his memoir, Spare, that his mother, Diana, had been photographed there in 1992, and he feared a similar image would invite comparisons. Diana’s photograph later became associated with perceptions of loneliness and the breakdown of her marriage to Charles. Harry and Meghan subsequently stepped down as senior working royals and moved to the United States.

Prince William reportedly described Meghan Markle as “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive” during the 2019 confrontation with Prince Harry later recounted in Harry’s memoir Spare.

The brothers are reported to remain estranged, although Harry recently visited King Charles III and Queen Camilla in the UK with Meghan and their children.

A YouGov poll found that only 22% of Britons surveyed held a favourable view of Meghan Markle, while 65% viewed her unfavourably, making her the second-least popular royal after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond suggests Meghan may regard the UK as a lost cause and be happier living in California, while questioning whether she can help repair Prince Harry’s rift with his family.

Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, reportedly maintain a strict rule that their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—do not yet have mobile phones.

The title was later given to Catherine, while Harry's children Archie and Lilibet received prince and princess titles after King Charles III became monarch.

Prince Harry’s requested review of his entitlement to police protection in the UK has reportedly been delayed. The Royal and VIP Executive Committee review, originally expected in March, was paused while officials manage security demands created by the protection of nine former prime ministers and a shortage of armed officers.

Mike Tindall appears to have offered Prince Harry a light-hearted olive branch through his rugby podcast. After Harry praised James Haskell during an appearance on Joe Marler’s podcast, Haskell shared the clip on Instagram, while Tindall had recently joked that Harry was among the people who behaved best at his 2011 wedding. The comments come against the backdrop of Harry’s reduced contact with the Tindalls since leaving royal duties, although Tindall reportedly visited near Harry’s California home in 2023 and it is unclear whether they met.
