Harry and Meghan may return to California over security

Only a month ago, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a surprising move back to Britain with their children after years of building their lives in California. But now, shortly after the widely covered return, reports from across the Atlantic say the couple is weighing another reversal.

A month after the return: another change of plans?

According to reports published in the past day, Harry and Meghan are considering a return to their Montecito, California home, with one of the main reasons behind the deliberation being the family's security arrangements in Britain.

Harry has been waging a long-running battle over security provisions for himself and his family while in the United Kingdom. According to sources quoted in the British press, if the issue is not resolved to his satisfaction, the possibility of returning to the United States is very much on the table.

The California home still waiting for them

What may make the move simpler is the fact that Harry and Meghan have not severed ties with the life they built in the United States. Even after returning to Britain, the couple kept their Montecito home, where they lived for years with their children, Archie and Lilibet.

The new reports come shortly after Harry sounded pleased with the new chapter in Britain and spoke positively about the return and the children's adjustment. For now, at least, it is unclear whether this is a decision already made or an option the couple is examining in light of difficulties that have arisen.

Either way, just a month after the Sussex family's return to Britain generated no shortage of headlines, it appears the story is far from over — and California may once again become their primary home.
