Meghan Markle will reportedly split her time between the UK and the US, according to a journalist citing sources close to the Sussexes. The couple arrived back in the UK with their two children on Wednesday, with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet all ready to start at their new school next week.

Ms Boshoff said on the podcast: “I’m told that is the plan is to go back to Montecito in the school holidays, first one coming up is Christmas.” She added: “I think it’s really wise and sensible. I think from what I’m told there is not a desire to be provocative.

“So although you can argue that this kind of incredible hasty bombshell manner of it all is provactive, I think there is going to be an effort not to actually stir up conflict. And actually this is the best possible news for Buckingham Palace isn’t it?

“If Harry and his family go back to California or a California Christmas then, phew, nobody has to worry about any of that. At least that’s the first Christmas got over with.”

Prince Harry ‘wants apology’ and ‘still in Oprah mindset’ as he lands in UK with Meghan

Prince Harry might have returned to the UK with Meghan and his two children but sources claim the Duke of Sussex still wants an “apology” from his family.

According to a source speaking to The Mail on Sunday, Prince Harry is still in the “Oprah mindset” and despite a well-publicised rift developing with his family as a result of his US media ventures, it’s the Duke who thinks he is owed an “apology”.

The source told the paper: “Friends who caught up with Harry were expecting to hear noises of contrition and humility.

“Instead, there will be no imminent mea culpa from Harry by the sounds of things. Far from it, in fact. He is still in that Oprah mindset.”

They added: “They were agog to hear he still feels angry with members of the Royal Family, is still frustrated by the ‘men in grey suits’ who surround his father, and still expects an apology.”

Sarah Ferguson just slapped King Charles round the face – he’s got another Prince Harry

OPINION BY CHRIS RICHES

As if King Charles didn’t have enough headaches with royal tell-all Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returning to the UK – now Sarah Ferguson is back too! The monarch was reportedly stunned by the Sussexes’ return as they failed to inform him first, instead telling royal courtiers they were planning on an extended stay that could last years.

This is a nightmare for Charles as it suited his purpose for them to remain in California quietly working away and just making the odd high-profile visit, acutely aware of the lingering rift between Harry and Prince William. Now like a horde of Vikings appearing on the horizon, a source close to Fergie has dropped the bombshell that’s she’s heading back to Blighty too.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s friends’ true feelings on UK return – ‘he went rogue’

One of Harry’s longstanding friends admitted the announcement of Harry’s return to the UK had come as a major surprise, saying he was nevertheless excited at the prospect of seeing the Duke again.

They told The Evening Standard: “You could have knocked me down with a feather.

“So, so surprised but excited too. Since he has left I saw him once when I was in the States when I flew to the West Coast for work. Hardly anyone sees him when he visits the UK, apparently he has back-to-back events.”

They added: “Although lots of us felt like he was darking us since he went rogue.

“I have to say everyone is pretty excited about him coming back. Maybe it will be like old times. Or if not old times, it would be nice if our kids could play”.
