The End of Prince Harry and Meghan's American Dream | The Global Story

Aug 21, 2026 | The Duke of Sussex and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, plan to move back to the UK later this month.

Prince Harry told the BBC last year that he, “can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back.” So what’s changed?

Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are due to start at a British school in September. They are not expected to resume their roles as working Royals.

Prince Harry and Meghan left the UK in 2020, and in the years since have had various achievements and controversies, including high-profile legal battles with the UK press and the government.

Asma Khalid from The Global Story podcast asks the journalist and royal commentator Sarah Hewson about the successes and failures of brand Sussex in the US, Prince Harry’s ongoing concerns about security, and whether he can repair relationships with his family.
