America Or Royalty? Harry And Meghan Conflict Over Where Their Children Live

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering splitting their time between the US and the UK in what could be the start of a royal reconciliation.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the Duke of Sussex, 39, started looking into finding a UK home that he and his wife could keep for visiting instead of having to check into hotels each time.

And according to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the rumored plan could be a strong indicator that the pair are looking to inch closer to Harry’s estranged family.

“If Harry does buy a place in the UK, he and Meghan will live here for part of they year and part of the year in the States, that was the original idea,” Harrold exclusively told The Post.

While the Sussexes are reportedly looking to add a UK property to their already-impressive real estate portfolio — which currently boasts a sprawling $14 million California mansion — Harrold notes that he doesn’t see the “Suits” alum moving back to London on a permanent basis.

“I don’t see Meghan wanting to be in the UK permanently — I think that was the whole idea of why they went out to the States in the first place,” Harrold, who worked for King Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, said.

“I can believe that Harry would like to be back here, he loves the UK. He had an amazing upbringing here, he loved living here and I remember that,” Harrold said on behalf of Spin Genie.

The duo sensationally shut the door on royal life in 2020 and hightailed it across the pond to California.

They have only returned to the UK a few times since.

“[Harry] knows that he has an American wife and technically an American family, so it would have to be 50/50,” Harrold added.

The Sussexes’ move, famously dubbed “Megxit,” caused intense controversy and bad blood — which was only compounded by their bombshell sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021 and the release of Harry’s protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare,” last January.

Since handing over the keys to Frogmore Cottage last year, the Sussexes have not had a permanent place to stay in London.

The pair were reportedly blindsided by the King’s decision to evict them after believing that the royal residence they thought would “always be there for them.”
