Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been rumoured to be returning to the UK following their abrupt exit from the country when they left their senior royal roles behind in 2020 to move Stateside to the US in the aftermath of the bombshell Oprah interview.
And whilst the news hasn't been confirmed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it has been speculated that the decision of quitting of the royal family to move to California with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet could come back to haunt them.
According to the former editor of Vanity Fair, the ex-working royal couple has reportedly "done something they’ll live to regret" after waving the monarchy goodbye to live a more private life away from the public eye in their Montecito home.
Graydon Carter says the couple's decision to part ways from the royals "will come back to haunt them" when they realise their children will grow up with no relatives around them.
Prince Archie turned four years old on the historical day King Charles was crowned, whilst Lilibet turns two this weekend on Sunday, June 4.
The couple announced they were parting ways from the royals and subsequently caused friction among the family with the release of their scathing Netflix docuseries and Harry's bombshell memoir Spare, which threw controversial allegations against the institution.
"Harry and Meghan are just fascinating concepts," Graydon Carter told the Telegraph in a recent interview.
"They’ve done something they’ll live to regret, which is their children have no relatives. They have no cousins that they see, or uncles or aunts, and they don’t see grandparents, except for one.
"That will come back to haunt them at a certain point. Montecito is gorgeous but it’s God’s waiting room: there is nothing, nothing, nothing to do. It’s a 40-minute drive from LA.
"There can’t be many kids there because young families can’t afford it. It’s a lonely, beautiful place."
Talking about the Royal Family, he added: "I have no interest in the royals whatsoever, but I think for the British they’re like the way Disneyland needs Mickey and Goofy and Pluto, because they’re part of the narrative and that’s what people come to see.
"In Britain, if you take away the Royal family it becomes like a small Middle Eastern country. It’s like the Magic United Kingdom. I love it when things go wrong for them. When things go right it’s boring."
Meanwhile, we previously reported Harry's touching reason if he did decide to move back to the UK, according to an ex-royal butler.
King Charles' former butler, Grant Harrold, told the New York Post: "I'd never say never, it's always possible that one day he might want to come home, it's possible that he might buy [a property] here if he wanted to come over [more] and Meghan didn't want to come over.
"Meghan doesn't really have any family here as such, all her family are in the States and that's where Harry has decided he wants to set up his home."
Harry was born in raised in Britain and Grant believes thinks his ties to his homeland will be too tough for the duke to cut off for good, as he explained: "He'll want to have that association with Britain just in case one day he does want to come back and I don't think Harry will want to sever ties."
However, Grant, speaking on behalf of Oddspedia, did admit the duke seemed "happy in the States" and that any return to the UK wouldn't be soon, although stressed it remained "very possible"
