A recent victory for Prince Harry might have his wife stuck between a rock and a hard place. The husband of Meghan Markle won his fight to receive government-funded security in the UK. Meghan may not be so keen to return to the UK one day. Therefore, one source says, “This puts Meghan in a rather awkward position.”

The Duchess of Sussex and the Prince left the UK for California in 2020. Part of his reasoning for departing initially was a lack of assurances for him, his wife, and his two kids.

This victory might prompt Harry to return to his home country, though that doesn’t seem to be what his wife wants. Meghan grew up in California and apparently has no desire to go back to the UK. Royal author Christopher Anderson tells US Weekly that Meghan fears returning for her would create a “somewhat hostile environment.”

Harry did say in May that he couldn’t see a world in which he came back home with his wife and kids. He added that that despite what some people had done, he still loves his home country.

Meghan reportedly wants to get back in the acting industry and break out of her husband’s shadow. That may not be possible if Harry wants to return to the UK. Word has it that Harry’s brother, Prince William, may take away his estranged brother’s titles and privileges when inheriting the throne.

According to Christopher, the biggest reason Harry might want the kids back in the UK is to enable them to forge a relationship with their grandfather, King Charles. Harry and the King reconciled during the Prince’s visit last year. Charles is currently battling cancer.

Previously, Harry claimed that he’d been denied basic duty of care during his trips back home while visiting from the US.
