Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hoping to go house hunting in the UK, reports claim.

Back in 2020, the pair emigrated to California after stepping away from their duties as senior members of the royal family.

However, after only three years living abroad, word on the street is that the Sussexes have England in their sights.

The decision to return to the country they once turned their backs on is mostly Harry’s idea, according to an unnamed insider who spoke with OK! magazine.

The fifth in line to the throne is said to be putting his foot down and pushing for the family to rebuild in his home country, even though his wife would certainly prefer to stay in the United States.

“There is a divide between the couple on this issue but they will soon start looking for a property of their own near London, and Harry is very much leading this,” said the insider.

It is believed the Sussexes are refraining from asking Charles for his help, despite claims that the King wants to “reunite” with the couple.

“They won’t be asking the King for a property on the royal estate due to the issue that arose with Frogmore Cottage. Making use of a small apartment in Kensington Palace from time to time isn’t out of the question, but when it comes to a home in the UK, they will purchase that themselves,” revealed the source.

Despite the tension caused by Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave the royal family, Dr Ed Owens, author of After Elizabeth: Can the Monarchy Save Itself?, has alleged the King wants his son and daughter-in-law back in the royal fold.

He told GB News: “He is demonstrating he is ready to reconcile and that ultimately, the onus is on them to make a decision as to whether they want to heal the wounds that have opened up between them and the rest of the royal family.

“The King has done that quite successfully so far. He’s held the moral high ground, he’s presented himself as a conciliator. That is the best way to maintain his reputation as a public figure.”

He added: “The most important thing here is how he is viewed by his own public. The King obviously wants to maintain a positive reputation with the British people. In that respect, the easiest solution is for him to try and maintain and keep hold of the moral high ground. So far, he’s done that. He’s done that by making it clear, sometimes through back channels.”
