Meghan Markle “Desperately Homesick”

Meghan Markle is reportedly struggling with her return to Britain, with an unnamed source telling New Idea that the Duchess of Sussex is already “desperately homesick” and counting down the days until her next trip to America.

The source claims Meghan misses her mother, her California lifestyle and even her old bed, while Prince Harry is urging her to be patient as the family adjusts to life in Britain.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are returning to Nottingham for their first joint day of public engagements since moving back to the United Kingdom. The visit takes them to the city where they made their first official appearance together after announcing their engagement in 2017. But not everyone is celebrating their comeback.

Piers Morgan has accused the Sussexes of exploiting their royal titles, while Daily Mail columnist Amanda Platell questions whether their return to Nottingham is a calculated attempt to recapture the public affection they once enjoyed. Royal commentator Richard Berthelsen suggests the couple are attempting to reclaim some of the prestige associated with being working royals. There is also business news for Meghan. Her As Ever lifestyle brand is preparing to expand into Britain, with tea, candles and limited-edition bookmarks expected to be among the first products available. However, her famous fruit spreads and edible flower sprinkles may have to wait because of import regulations.

The Sussexes are also facing renewed questions about their children's privacy. Meghan has shared another video of Archie and Lilibet walking through the English countryside, even as Harry's previous warnings about posting photographs of children online are attracting fresh attention. Meanwhile, Closer Weekly claims Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, has offered Harry and Meghan a rent-free home on his Althorp estate.

And Hello's royal editor Emily Nash is questioning what has changed about the Sussexes' security arrangements after Meghan was photographed visiting Malala Yousafzai at Claridge's in central London, despite Harry's earlier concerns about bringing his family to the capital.
