Prince Harry Returns to the UK After Six Years Abroad

Prince Harry has returned to the UK after six years abroad, BBC reported on August 21, 2026. Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020, citing frustration with British media. Since 2019, Harry has sued three newspaper groups, filed complaints with IPSO — the UK press regulator — and testified that one publisher "made my wife's life an absolute misery." He lost that case. The couple is not expected to rejoin the royal rota, the press pool covering official engagements.
