After nearly two weeks of straight mourning, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ready to get back home as soon as possible, apparently. Queen Elizabeth has been laid to rest at last, which means the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are officially free to leave the UK and return to California, which they plan to do “almost immediately,” according to Us Weekly‘s unnamed source.
“Meghan and Harry are preparing to return to Montecito almost immediately after the funeral, where they’ll be reunited with Archie and Lilibet after being separated for over two weeks,” the source said, which is “the longest amount of time they’ve been apart from their children.”
I don’t doubt that the Sussexes really are eager to get back home because they miss their kids, who are still just toddlers after all. But I kind of suspect that they may also wish to minimize awkward interactions with estranged family members and run-ins with the vitriolic British tabloids—which have refused to let up on Meghan even once.
