Meghan Markle is living back in the UK (Image: Samir Hussein/Samir Hussein/WireImage)
Meghan Markle has been spotted for the first time since arriving back in the UK, it has been claimed. Just last week, Meghan relocted back to Britain with her husband Prince Harry, alongside their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.
The move has been filled with ambiguity, with the family having not been seen since the move back. Instead, rumours have been swirling about where they may be living and what the motive behind the return is. It was also reported yesterday that Meghan, 45, is unlikely to be out in the public spotlight for some time, with her focus being to help her family settle into their new UK home.
However, while not an official public appearance, Tom Sykes has claimed on The Royalist that Meghan has ventured outside the Sussex’s privately-rented home. He said that the duchess arrived at Soho Farmhouse just days ago for a nice relaxing morning, spending time in the lounge area above the main resturant. His source said a “fanfare” was made of her arrival and that was was introduced to members of staff at the celebrity hotspot. No pictures have been shared, and it seems that the visit to the Cotswolds private club was a private outing not intended to be shared with the world.

Harry and Meghan’s team gave blunt two-word response over joint appearance, expert says
A royal expert has shed light on Harry and Meghan’s intentions regarding an upcoming royal engagement, with the response from the couple’s representatives proving rather revealing.
Speaking on The Royals with Roya and Kate podcast, Kate Mansey addressed reports that Meghan could join Harry at a forthcoming Diana Awards ceremony.
Kate said: “Now, I went to the Sussex’s and said, “What do you make of these reports? Is it correct that we’re going to expect to see Harry and Meghan at this event together?” And they said, “Absolutely not.”
Prince Harry ‘goes behind William’s back’ in strategic way back into Royal Family
Prince Harry has reportedly gone behind his brother’s back and reached out directly to Princess Kate in a bid to mend fractured relationships. That is according to one source, who said Harry is keen to become friends once again with his sister-in-law, with whom he was once rather close.
A source has told Closer that, in light of William not having any desire to speak with Harry, the latter has gone straight to Princess Kate to try to mend their own rift. “She’s the gatekeeper to so many things,” the source said. “If, God forbid, something is wrong with Charles, or they need to communicate about something without bothering the King directly, she’s the most straightforward path.”
“He hates to put her in the middle, but he says he doesn’t feel like he has any other choice because William is continuing to be so stubborn, and he says he knows Kate will be a lot more reasonable,” they added.

eghan and Harry’s ‘pretentious’ reasons for moving to Cotswolds exposed
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s UK move continues to have royal commentators in a spin, one has theorised on why the couple decided to move to the Cotswolds.
Journalist Neil Sea, who has long covered stories related to the Royal Family, said: “A lot of people ask me why the Cotswolds. Well, it’s quite simple, really. She knew that area a little bit, all thanks to her frequent trips to Soho House.”
He continued: “The Cotswolds is the area that, if you want to move and shake, you know, a lot of the movers and shakers are there.
“I’ve been there. It’s pretentious. It’s a nice place if you’re an ordinary citizen living a very quiet life. But all the media people just turn up in areas looking for who’s there.
“[It is] probably a little bit like the Hamptons, I might imagine.”

Prince Harry and Meghan’s UK home picked with 2 key factors in mind
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are believed to have picked their UK home with two factors in mind.
This includes how easily the grounds of the home could be kept secure, and how safe it would be going in and out of the home.
Saif Derzi, founder of Property Buyers Today, said: “For a family with their level of public attention, it isn’t just about how impressive a property looks.
“They’d need to consider how easily the grounds can be secured and whether their movements could be easily monitored or predicted.”
Meghan Markle’s ‘real reason’ behind nanny decision for Archie and Lilibet’s school run
An insider has shed some light on how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle plan to raise their kids in the UK.
The family are reportedly living in the Cotswolds, with their two children, seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet, enrolled in a prep school in the area.
According to a royal source, Meghan has no plans for hiring a nanny to look after the school run, instead deciding to do that daily job herself.
They added: “She won’t be deferring to nannies. She was a very involved school mom [in Montecito], and despite all the cruel rumours that she was disliked by the other moms, that wasn’t her experience.
“She had good friends there, or so she claims, and she’s determined it will be the same in England.”

Royal correspondent Emily Andrews added: “Philip was so angry he refused to even be there. I was told that he just couldn’t bring himself to see his grandson. He thought it was a huge dereliction of duty.”

Prince Harry and Meghan ‘reveal’ biggest concern about return to UK
It has been claimed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s biggest concern since relocating to the UK is the school run.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been taking their children, seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet, to and from school every day since their return.
The school the children will attend, and the location of the family’s rented home, has been kept under wraps as a result of security concerns. It is believed to be outside of London.
A source told The Telegraph: “It is absolutely the biggest area of concern. It creates the most dangers.”
Princess Anne’s ‘unroyal’ breakfast that keeps her on top form at 76
Princess Anne’s “unroyal” diet seems to be keeping her in top form while she remains dedicated to her official duties as a senior member of The Firm. The royal, aged 76, has consistently been ranked among the hardest-working royals each year, continuing to outperform her younger counterparts.

Prince William and Harry tipped for high-stakes reunion at major upcoming event
Prince William and Prince Harry could finally reunite next year, a royal author has claimed. It is understood that the brothers have not spoken in recent years, with tensions between them becoming increasingly public after Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties and left the UK in 2020.
Rumours of a rift began to emerge in 2019, but the feud is believed to have intensified following the release of Harry’s memoir Spare in 2023, in which he made a series of claims about his relationship with William. However, royal expert Robert Jobson believes they will reuinite next year, for the 30th anniversary of the passing of their late mother, Princess Diana, on August 31, 2027.
Princess Kate’s genius way of staying fit and healthy as a mother of three
Princess Catherine is known for her glowing complexion, toned physique and overall love for a healthy lifestyle, including good food and exercise. And while the Princess of Wales may have kept her diet and eating habits private, there have been several insiders and experts over the years who have shed light on some of her favourite meals.
Catherine, a lover of healthy, nutritious and flavourful dishes, is known for cooking them herself, alongside her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. And the Express has looked at the Princess of Wales’ food choices, all of which help her juggle her busy royal career whilst raising three children.

Princess Charlotte’s surprising connection to aunt Pippa Middleton revealed
Princess Charlotte shares a sweet bond with her aunt, Pippa Middleton, and they also have a strong connection. The Princess of Wales’s sister’s full name is Philippa Charlotte Middleton, and Charlotte’s full name is Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
Pippa, who is celebrating her 43rd birthday today, is married to James Matthews and the couple have children of their own. She was given the name Charlotte as part of her full moniker – a name that’s carried a special resonance for the Middleton family. Meanwhile, Charlotte was born on May 2, 2015, in St Mary’s Hospital, London and christened a couple of months later, on July 5, at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
Latest rumour about Meghan Markle’s ‘tell-all’ plan shut down with two blunt words
Meghan Markle’s team have shut down rumours that The Duchess of Sussex is planning a tell-all book with just two words. Since Meghan relocated to Britain last month with her husband Prince Harry and their two children, rumours have been swirling about what her plans may be.
While some people have claimed she could feature in a new Netflix series, other royal experts report hearing rumours that she could be using her time in the UK to put pen to paper for a new book. It seems that both rumours may be untrue. When The Daily Express contacted Harry and Meghan’s team on September 5 asking whether Meghan was planning to write a memoir – something Harry did in 2023 – the answer was to the point.

One surprising royal Brits want Prince Harry to reunite with – it’s not William or King
Prince Harry relocated back to the UK last week with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, and it’s no surprise their return has generated a lot of interest. While the couple, who quit royal duty in 2020, are not expected to become working royals again, their presence in the UK could see them make non-royal public appearances, especially for charity.
It could also see them reunite with some members of the Royal Family at certain events. This could include events such as Royal Ascot, weddings, royal church services, and general family get-togethers. This could be interesting, especially as Harry famously has some rifts with his royal relatives.
King Charles and Queen Camilla full of joy as they attend Braemar Gathering 2026
King Charles and Queen Camilla were spotted smiling and laughing together yesterday as they attended the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park. The annual event seems to be one of the King and Queen’s favourite outings in Scotland, featuring traditional events such as Highland dancing, pipe band competitions and band parades.
The King, wearing a tartan skirt, seemed to be in good spirits at the games, laughing with Queen Camilla and others sat around them. They were the only members of the Royal Family in attendance. Here The Daily Express has shared some of the best photographs of the day…

Meghan just gave Princess Kate her terms – if true it’s a slap in the face
You have to admire her chutzpah because if rumours are true – Meghan Markle has skin thicker than a rhino and the nerve of a tightrope walker. Let’s admit it – as soon as it was confirmed Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan Markle, 45, were ending their self-imposed exile and heading back to Britain for an extended period, we all thought the same thing.
Will this melt the icy relationship between the Sussexes on one side, and Prince William, Princess Catherine and the similarly slighted Queen Camilla on the other? Harry, Meghan, William and Kate used to be dubbed the ‘Fab Four’, a nickname once belonging to The Beatles, and were thick as thieves.
Prince Harry’s redemption plan: From tea with King to ‘public appearance with William’
Prince Harry is hoping to rebuild his relationship with the Royal Family one step at a time – beginning with regular private meetings with his father, King Charles, according to reports.
Friends of the Duke of Sussex believe his return to Britain could mark the beginning of a long-term reconciliation with the family, with Harry’s relationship with his father apparently the first priority.
The idea of Harry taking tea with the King once a month has reportedly been floated, allowing Charles to spend more time with his son and his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
A friend told the Daily Mail that Harry wants his children to “properly get to know” their grandfather and become part of his life.

Prince Harry admits he’ll regret final conversation with Diana forever
Prince Harry was just a child when his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a tragic car crash 29 years ago. Since then, the prince has opened up about the impact losing his mother had on him. He was 12-years-old when he recieved the heartbreaking news of the crash while on holiday with other members of his family at Balmoral.
The prince has spoken about the impact his mother’s death had on his mental health. While he and Prince William have revealed a number of personal stories about Diana in the years since her death, they have also spoken of their regrets about how their final interactions unfolded.

King Charles has just sent Prince Harry a very clear message – and William is next
September always has that fresh start feel to it. After enjoying the hot summer months, some time off work and away from the office, September 1 signals the start of a new term. It’s not just us ordinary workers who go back to work feeling (hopefully) refreshed, but the Royal Family too.
The King’s last public engagement was on August 18 and the Wales family’s was on August 1 when all five of them visited the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. They enjoyed some time together at Balmoral, as well as separate holidays abroad. Typically, engagements don’t start up until much later in the month, but this year the royals readied themselves into action from the word go.
From Wednesday, the King and Queen undertook nine public engagements between them, and the next few weeks are set to continue at a similar high pace. The Prince and Princess of Wales will return to duties this week as their three children start the new school term – with Prince George flying the nest to Eton, a sharp reminder to his parents that he’s growing up. The sharp return to normality serves an important purpose this year.

Buckingham Palace announces the two royals to attend King Harold’s funeral in Norway
The Prince of Wales will represent the King at the funeral of King Harald V of Norway on Wednesday, Buckingham Palace has announced. This is in accordance with protocol, which dictates that the sovereign does not attend funerals of other Heads of State. This precedent was seen last April, when William attended the funeral of Pope Francis on the King’s behalf.
William will be joined by his aunt, the Princess Royal, who will attend the service in a private and personal capacity as godmother to King Haakon VIII, who has succeeded his father.
King Harald of Norway died on August 28 at the age of 89, having been taken to hospital a week earlier for treatment for a rare blood condition. He is survived by his wife of almost 58 years, Queen Sonja, their daughter Princess Märtha Louise, their son, the new King Haakon, and six grandchildren.
King Charles ‘excited’ about Prince Harry and Meghan UK return for 1 reason
King Charles is reportedly likely to be feeling “very excited” about the fact his youngest son now lives in the UK again, a former royal butler has said. While the monarch has not commented on Prince Harry’s relocation back to the UK last week, which saw him arrive in Britain with his wife and two children, someone who once worked with the King has shed a light on how he’s feeling.
While it is no secret that Harry and his father have had their ups and downs since the duke quit royal life in 2020, it seems that Harry’s return is being treated as good news by the King, as he can now play “a larger role” in his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s lives. This is according to former royal butler Grant Harrold, who worked for the King as the Prince of Wales between 2004 and 2011. Speaking to the Daily Express on behalf of Press Box PR, Grant Harrold said: “Like any grandparent, the King will be very excited to have Archie and Lilibet close again.”
