Prince Harry and Meghan announced to the world on Jan. 8, 2020, that they would step down as senior working members of the British royal family in a move popularly dubbed “Megxit.” By spring of 2020, the transition was complete, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were no longer performing royal duties. 

Since then, they have lived in the United States with Meghan’s mother and their two children. Although Harry and Meghan stepped down from their duties as senior royals, they have not shunned the spotlight, appearing at public charity events and pursuing their own creative and philanthropic ventures, many under their brand, Archewell Foundation.

However, tensions between their small family and the royals have grown and created a wall between them. Scrutiny of Harry and Meghan has intensified, and people have started expressing their disdain for every move and decision they make, especially toward their children’s — Archie and Lilibet — lives.

With reports that Harry, Meghan, and the children are returning to the United Kingdom for the upcoming 2024 Invictus Games, chatter on the Sussexes’ departure has since reemerged. This was further exacerbated by the budding anticipation of whether the Sussexes would meet the cancer-stricken King Charles and Kate Middleton during their visit to the United Kingdom. 

Royal Expert Tom Quinn claimed in an interview that Prince Harry’s “last straw” in leaving the United Kingdom for the United States was connected to the fact that he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage in 2023. Keep reading to learn more about Harry and why the Sussexes left, as claimed by a royal expert. 

On April 9, 2024, a royal insider revealed to Page Six that there had been talk of King Charles possibly extending an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan so that he could reunite with his grandchildren. 

“I can see Charles desperately wanting to see the children, and extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry. He may decide that life is just too short,” the insider claimed to the outlet. “Balmoral is truly the perfect, restful place for a reunion. If he does issue an invite, then Harry and Meghan should surely agree to the visit.”

While Charles had seen Archie on many occasions before the Sussexes migrated to the United States, the outlet noted that he'd only met Lilibet in person once, in June 2022, during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth. At the time, the insider revealed that Charles spent time with his grandchildren during that visit, describing the encounter as “fantastic” and “very emotional.” 

“It was a fantastic visit, and, of course, the king was delighted to see his grandson and meet his granddaughter for the first time,” the source confirmed.

The last time Meghan set foot in the United Kingdom was when she attended the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in 2022. Archie and Lilibet, however, were left in California, and were taken care of by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland. 

Meghan was absent from Charles’ coronation in May 2023 because it coincided with Archie’s birthday. Harry, who attended, immediately left after the ceremony to head back to California. 

Should the reunion happen, it would be a positive moment for the British royal family, considering their recent unfortunate ordeals.

On April 18, 2024, The Mirror reported that Prince Harry officially changed his residence from the United Kingdom to the United States. The publication noted that Harry filed paperwork in Britain to change his official residence to the United States. 

Notably, it was a retroactive change. A document obtained by the publication shows that Harry’s new country of residence is the United States, and it is effective retroactively to June 29, 2023. 

For those who do not know, it was on the same date that Harry and his family were reportedly evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles in 2023. A spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed this, saying that “the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage."

Now, Quinn claimed to The Mirror that the address change had been done way before the news came out in 2024, contrary to recent reports. He claims that Harry changed it on the very day his family was evicted from Frogmore. Quinn also revealed it was the “last straw” for Harry before he decided to leave the United Kingdom. 

"At the time, few people realised what a slap in the face the eviction from Frogmore felt like for Harry – it was the last straw,” he said. 

The royal expert also claimed that Harry was "absolutely furious and in tears about being evicted from Frogmore,” with him feeling that his father "had no right" to evict him and his wife from the residence that the late Queen Elizabeth II had gifted them for their wedding. Harry also reportedly saw the action to be “purely vindictive.” 

"Harry took it as a cruel rejection – a painful reminder of all that he felt when his father fought with his mother during their long drawn out, painful divorce," Quinn added.
