Prince Harry, Meghan Markle 'testing the waters'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's sudden shift in lifestyle has left many questioning their intentions and future plans.

The Sussexes' return to the UK came with a strategy designed to give them more freedom and flexibility.

According to a royal expert, their latest move grants them access to Britain and the royal family, while still letting them live independently in the US.

"I suspect they want the best of both worlds, access to Britain, proximity to the monarchy and the credibility that comes with Harry’s royal identity, while maintaining the freedom and commercial opportunities they associate with life outside the UK," Schofield said.

The Sussexes’ broader UK plans raise questions about whether they are truly returning to Britain for good or simply testing the waters.

She went on to claim: "Harry and Meghan never do what they say or say what they mean.

"One year ago, Harry told us the U.K. was not safe enough to bring his wife and children. Now someone is briefing the Daily Mail that Harry has a 15-year plan in the U.K. Alternatively, we’re briefed this could be temporary."

"I would describe it as a trial run rather than a definitive homecoming," Schofield added.

Undoubtedly, Meghan and Harry's return to Britain has raised questions about their motives, with some saying the couple are presenting themselves as an international power couple by keeping their options open.
