Prince Harry and Meghan's UK return echoes 'half-in, half-out' plan: experts
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to the U.K. to settle into a private life, a move experts suggest mirrors the 'half-in, half-out' royal arrangement previously rejected by Queen Elizabeth II. The couple will not resume working royal duties while maintaining residences in California and Portugal.
Why it matters
The move highlights ongoing tensions regarding the boundaries between the British monarchy and the personal lives of its members.
Prince Harry may have finally found a way to live the life that his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, refused to endorse. On Sept. 8, 2022, Britain's longest-reigning monarch died after 70 years on the throne. She was 96. On Aug. 26 this year, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, returned to the U.K., where their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will attend school. As the Sussexes settle into their new life in Britain, with details about their private home and their children's school closely guarded, royal experts told Fox News Digital that the arrangement recalls the "half-in, half-out" proposal the late queen rejected.
