Prince Harry to hold ‘crunch talks’ with Meghan Markle after delayed California return
EXCLUSIVE: The Duke of Sussex will reunite with his wife Meghan Markle in Montecito this week following a successful three-week solo tour of the US, UK and Africa.
Prince Harry is set to return to California this week for ‘crunch talks’ with his wife Meghan Markle following a three-week solo tour of New York City, the United Kingdom and Africa.
According to a well-placed source, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will sit down with their US-based team to thrash out a ‘new strategy’ following Harry’s successful solo trip abroad.
The source adds that Harry, 40 and Meghan, 43, are still focused on moving forward as a unit but will undertake more solo engagements to shine a light on their own interests.
“Harry is due back in California this week, and a debrief is expected following his travels,” said the source. “There’s a lot to discuss so the team has been summoned for a meeting toward the end of the week.
“The success of Harry’s solo endeavours has shown that a new strategy might be needed.”
The news comes as Harry decided to extend his current trip abroad by an extra few days.
The Duke of Sussex was due to head back to California last weekend to reunite with his wife Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, at their Montecito mansion.
However, the Duke chose to prolong his trip. He headed to Johannesburg over the weekend which was followed by a rumoured trip to Cape Town for “private time” with family and friends.
Another secret visit, which has been kept out of his official diary, was also planned.
“There have been whispers for months now that they [Harry and Meghan] have been drifting apart,” said the source. “Harry’s solo trip has given him time to reflect and now is the time to sit down and talk.”
