Meghan Markle is reportedly struggling to adjust to life in the UK and is even said to be considering plans to “quit Britain forever.” Despite making several public appearances and attending outings with Prince Harry, reports suggest the Duchess has been feeling “homesick”.
The couple is now reportedly planning a trip to California ahead of Thanksgiving, with Meghan allegedly keen to extend her stay in the US.
Meghan Markle has reportedly struggled to transition and adjust to British life
Meghan Markle is reportedly considering leaving Britain and returning to the US to reclaim the life she had before. Prince Harry and Meghan returned to the UK in August 2026, nearly six years after stepping away from royal duties and relocating to California. While Harry is said to be happy to be back in his homeland, Meghan is reportedly struggling to adjust to the transition.
Several reports have suggested that the Duchess feels “homesick.” During her time in the UK, she has been spotted enjoying pub outings with friends and making several public appearances. However, according to Radar Online, she is reportedly “upset” by the constant scrutiny she faces. Sources also claim that some locals have raised objections to the extensive security arrangements surrounding the couple.
A source explained that Meghan does not share the same connection to Britain as her husband. In California, she has a home, the support of her mother, her longtime friends, and a lifestyle she knows and enjoys.
Adding to the possibility of an extended stay in the US, Meghan has reportedly secured a role in the new series of Junior MasterChef Australia. The commitment could keep her away from Britain for several weeks.
According to the source, the couple’s planned Christmas visit to California could become a turning point in their relationship. Returning to familiar surroundings may allow Meghan to compare the two lifestyles and decide where she feels most at home.
The source further suggested that if Meghan feels happier and more settled in the US, she could push to return there permanently. This possibility is reportedly causing Harry considerable distress, as he fears his wife may ultimately decide to “quit Britain.”
