Harry and Meghan’s return: How the drama unfolded in the years since Megxit
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly returning to the UK with their children, marking the latest development in the 'Megxit' saga that began in 2020 when they stepped down as senior royals. The article recaps key events since then, including their move to the US, controversial interviews, accusations of bullying, and the loss of royal titles.
Why it matters
This potential return signifies a major shift in the couple's relationship with the British Royal Family and the UK, potentially reigniting public interest and debate surrounding their roles and future.
The return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle marks the latest bombshell in the long-running saga surrounding the couple since the Megxit crisis.
Harry and Meghan announced in January 2020 that they wanted to step down as senior royals for a dual life, earning their own money in the US and supporting the monarch.
Queen Elizabeth II held a Sandringham summit to solve "Megxit" and the outcome was that the Sussexes' semi-royal role was deemed untenable - they were either in or out.
Six years later, they are moving back and setting up home in the UK once again with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet enrolled in British schools.
The couple headed to California and quit as senior working royals completely in March 2020, just as the Covid pandemic took hold.
But they continued to cause ructions from the US.
