Prince Harry reveals real reason he will never return to UK with Meghan Markle and kids

Prince Harry has shut down claims he could move back to the UK with his family – and shared the real reason he plans to stay in the US.

Harry made the comments during a solo outing in New York where he appeared at The New York Times Dealbook Summit while wife Meghan Markle attended a glitzy celeb-filled event in Beverly Hills, which honoured her pal and filmmaker Tyler Perry. Speaking to host Andrew Sorkin at his event, Harry was asked if he plans to remain in America for good. And he declared: “I do. I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here.” The duke then added that his American life, free of royal responsibilities, feels “as though it’s the life my mum wanted” for him.

He then revealed the reason he wanted to stay in America with Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet saying they are afforded a level of privacy in the US, as well as a life of activities they “undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK” due to security concerns.
Harry took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection when in the country. The decision led the duke to fight for it to be restored in a series of court proceedings, with the High Court rejecting his case in February.

In a judgment in February, retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane rejected the duke’s case and concluded Ravec’s approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair. The duke’s initial bid to bring an appeal was refused after he lost a High Court challenge over the decision, but he can now take his case directly to the Court of Appeal. For now, Harry says his focus is on “being the best husband and the best dad that I can be.”
