Meghan Markle was reportedly “already wondering” whether her UK return with Prince Harry was a mistake. The Duchess of Sussex and the Duke were said to be dealing with moving boxes. They also faced mixed public reaction and ongoing ties to Montecito. The pressure appeared immediate for the couple. The claim followed their late-August move from California with Archie and Lilibet. It framed the relocation as a stressful new phase.
Meghan Markle is wondering if moving to UK has been a ‘mistake,’ per source
According to Star Magazine, the Sussexes faced a mixed reception in the UK. The source said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were “up to their necks in moving boxes.” There was “uncertainty over how things are going to go with the royals and the British public.”
The insider added Meghan was “understandably pretty anxious” and “already wondering if this was a mistake.” That line put second thoughts at the center of the move.
After calling California home for six years, Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, moved in late August. They returned with Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. Meanwhile, Montecito remained part of the problem. The source said, “There’s so much still to manage back in Montecito too.”
The eight-hour time difference between Los Angeles and London made everything “more complicated.” Work calls and house conversations had to fit “awkward windows,” the insider claimed. That detail kept the California chapter inside the UK return story.
Still, the source also pointed to “financial pressure” from the move. They claimed the couple “spent a fortune” to fly by private jet because of the dogs, Pula and Mia. The source said the pets were “part of the family,” but called it “another huge expense.”
However, they said the cost was lower than “adding another household” to the monthly overhead. For context, Star previously reported three homes across the U.S., UK, and Portugal. The source added, “Moving is stressful for anyone,” but “for Meghan and Harry, it’s on another level.”
