Once can assume that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s life in the US hasn’t been half as private as the lives they implied to the public that they wanted to live. Instead the Sussexes have – in no small part thanks to their Netflix and Spotify deals – had a very publicized existence since leaving the Royal Family. Suffice it to say that Harry’s memoir, Spare, didn’t exactly help to quell interest.

While Harry and Meghan’s children will soon start kindergarten and preschool, the Sussexes are allegedly having problems. In the past it’s been rumored that although they wanted to be a part of Hollywood celebrity society, many A-listers didn’t want anything to do with them. Now, new reports suggest that Harry’s friends don’t want to visit him.

The Duke hasn’t journeyed home to the UK often of late. Harry and Meghan, you’ll remember, were evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles, and since then haven’t had a “base” in the prince’s old home country.

If we’re to believe reports though, a shock return could be on the table, with one royal expert suggesting that Harry is looking for a ‘permanent’ home in the UK… and for one sad reason.

Harry and Meghan’s move to the US involved a brand new life far away from everything that had anything to do with their previous royal duties. Leaving the Royal Family was a huge undertaking for the then family of three, but they managed it. Since then, Harry and Meghan have welcomed their daughter, Princess Lililbet, who turned three just some weeks ago.

While the couple has expressed a desire for a more private life, their many accusations against the Royal Family, made clear in their infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, Netflix series, other interviews, and, foremost, Harry’s tell-all memoir Spare, has made them staples on the front pages of newspapers worldwide.

The couple has also started several business ventures, and at the time of writing Meghan is said to be endeavoring to better develop her own brand. American Riviera Orchid, the Duchess’s lifestyle brand, was launched some months ago, however the reception it received initially was different from what she expected.

Meghan’s first product launched through American Riviera Orchid was a new jam. Sadly, it was mocked, not only for tasting average, but also for its astronomical price tag. According to royal expert Tom Quinn, she was left in tears over the “unfair criticism” she received.

“The one fly in the ointment is Meghan’s new internet brand, America Riviera Orchard. Meghan was in tears when the brand launched, and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special,” he told the Mirror.
