<p id=”par-1_66″>Prince Harry’s U.K. return could reportedly have another reason. Author Lady Colin Campbell claimed that <a href=”https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-has-developed-a-close-friendship-with-another-woman/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener nofollow”>another woman in California may have played a part</a>. “I was informed that Harry has developed a close friendship with another woman who lives in California. And so, of course, if this is the case, it’s a strong incentive for Meghan to have Harry in the United Kingdom,” she told <em>Closer</em>. </p>
<p id=”par-2_43″>The Sussexes arrived in the U.K. on August 26 with Prince Archie, Princess Lilibet, and their dogs, Mia and Pula. They’re staying for an extended period but have not returned as working royals. Lady C has made other claims about the couple’s marriage.</p>
<p id=”par-3_63″>“Their marriage has been very volatile, and they are in big trouble financially,” she alleged. She also claimed that Harry will stay in Britain with the children while Markle “will be flitting in and out of the country.” Asked whether she thought they could split later, Lady C said, “They’ll basically be having a typically classical, traditional arrangement, which could last a lifetime.” </p>

<p id=”par-4_55″>She added that it “could also come to an end with the first billionaire who crosses Meghan’s path that she can gobble up.” However, Harry has previously dismissed divorce rumors. In December 2024, he addressed the speculation during <em>The New York Times’ DealBook Summit,</em> saying, “The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls.” </p>
<p id=”par-5_58″>He also joked that he and Markle had “divorced maybe 10, 12 times.” Meanwhile, an unnamed insider also claimed Markle has set rules for the Duke. “Harry must abide by her rules. Firstly, he’s not to leave her for any length of time or go gallivanting for more than a few nights,” the tipster told the same outlet. </p>
<p id=”par-6_59″>The insider said Harry misses skiing, shooting weekends, and polo with his friends. Markle reportedly wants them to entertain at home instead. “She also wouldn’t compromise on the house. She wants it to be as good as, if not better than, a royal residence. Meghan wants all her home comforts, and Harry has bent over backwards to meet her requirements.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_54″>The alleged demands include “hand-picked Norland nannies, a full-time housekeeper and four permanent cleaners, a chef, plus groundsmen.” The list also includes orchards, greenhouses, walled gardens, a lake, pool, gym, beauty salon and a filming studio. The source also claimed Markle wants treehouses, a woodland playground, a polo pitch and a shooting range. </p>

<p id=”par-8_45″>The Sussexes plan to keep their California home and Portuguese bolthole. They’re also reportedly building a new social circle in Britain. Reports have <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-meghan-live-in-uk-home-owned-by-another-hollywood-celebrity.html/?swcfpc=1″>linked them to Cotswolds residents Victoria and David Beckham</a>, as well as Geri and Christian Horner. However, the insider disputed the claim. </p>
<p id=”par-9_53″>“The strain of returning to a country where Meghan felt vilified won’t disappear overnight. But Harry is confident he’s doing the right thing for his family,” the source said. “He’s hoping to build a safe circle, while Meghan wants to meet other parents and has her sights set on friends in high places.”</p>
