The many questions surrounding Harry and Meghan’s surprise return to U.K.

Dozens of questions swirled Thursday as Prince Harry prepares to move back to the U.K. with his wife and children, six years after his departure sparked a bitter rift with the royal family.

In a surprise move, Harry and Meghan “plan to leave the United States by the end of the month to settle in a private, non-royal residence, which is said to be located outside London,” The Daily Telegraph reported late on Wednesday.

Media outlets including the BBC reported the couple’s two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, had already been enrolled in a British school for the start of the school year in early September.

Some commentators point out that Harry and Meghan’s U.S. adventure has largely failed to live up to expectations.

“Meghan’s cookery series didn’t go well. They haven’t managed to cooperate successfully… with Netflix. And also, they lost Spotify,” royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told AFP.

“I think they’ve not been a success in Hollywood and I think this is one way to change things, and change things before William becomes king.”

The couple might also be concerned over reports that Harry’s brother Prince William “might remove their (royal) titles.” he added.

Another commentator, Ed Owens, said Harry, King Charles III’s younger son, was keen to reconcile with his father and wider family.

Harry and Meghan met the king in July during a brief visit to the U.K. — the first time in four years the couple’s children had met their grandfather.

“There’s a sense that visit went well… so now might seem an opportune moment,” Owens said.
