Should Harry and Meghan stay in the UK permanently? Take our poll and have your say The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are settling into their new lives in the UK, with Harry making numerous public appearances as Meghan maintains a low profile Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived back in the UK four weeks ago today to start a new chapter of their lives back in Harry’s home country. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down in Birmingham Airport in late August, with their children Archie and Lilibet in tow, after spending six years living in California. At the time of their move back to Britain, sources close to the Sussexes said they would be residing on UK shores for an ‘extended stay’. Since arriving almost a month ago, Harry has hit the ground running with his charitable endeavours, making numerous public appearances for causes close to his heart in just a few short weeks. He attended the WellChild Awards on Monday, of which he has been Patron since 2007, and has also done much work for his Invictus charity. Harry attended the inaugural Invictus Spirit Awards in London last week, before heading to a school in Birmingham to launch an education initiative. Despite his public appearances, his wife Meghan has kept a low profile, only being pictured for the first time on Monday since her return to the UK. The Duchess was seen chatting with fellow expat Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi at the Three Horseshoes near Burford, Oxfordshire, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six. As for Archie and Lilibet, the children have started school, but had a rocky start to their UK education after they were pulled from their first school after just two days due to security concerns. They are now attending a school closer to their home, which has not been named. The family seem to be settling into their new chapter well, as Meghan shared a glimpse of their life back in Britain in an Instagram video. Last week, Meghan posted the clip on her social media which documented the Sussex’s first few weeks residing back in Harry’s home country. The video included a series of clips, such as Archie and Lilibet chasing after a flock of deer, Harry and Meghan holding hands, Harry teaching his children how to catch a fish, and Lilibet sitting by a roaring fire. The video was captioned simply with a Union Jack emoji and a red heart emoji. Harry also spoke candidly of his family’s move to the UK at the WellChild Awards on Monday, as he revealed that Archie and Lilibet have been indulging in Marmite on crumpets, showing they are truly embracing their new life in Britain. Despite seeming content as they build their new lives in the UK, it is still unsure how long the Sussexes will remain in Britain, as Harry awaits the outcome of his security review with Ravec, which the Duke hopes will see his taxpayer-funded police protection reinstated. The Royal and VIP Executive Committee - known as Ravec - oversees Royal and VIP security in the UK. Harry has long been appealing to the committee to reinstate his security, which he had when he was a working royal, claiming his family needs adequate protection against outside threats. After what the Home Office described as ‘incessant’ correspondence from Harry, a new review into his level of police protection has been opened, with the Duke now awaiting the outcome. However, sources close to the pair have reportedly claimed Harry and Meghan could move back to California if the Ravec review does not go their way, according to the Daily Mail. A friend of Prince Harry reportedly said: "If he doesn’t get [security] then I believe he will go back to Montecito for good, and that could be as soon as half-term. The view is that if they don't get security then it will have to mean that Ravec has been nobbled. The need is so clear, what else could be the explanation?" They continued: "So if he doesn't get it then he will take that as a sign that there are deeper elements at play. In that case then he will be safer in the US than in the UK, so he will return." Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond previously said that Harry “deserves” the tax-payer funded protection when in his home country, given that the same security measures are given to former politicians. She told the i Paper in December: “Security is offered to a former prime minister who served barely any longer than a lettuce takes to wilt, then surely the son of the King deserves the same? Prince Harry is asking for the Metropolitan Police to protect him and (if he were to bring them) his family on occasional visits to the UK. It does not seem an unreasonable request. He cannot change the fact that he is the King’s son.”
