ROYAL SENSATION: Prince Harry's California Dream May Be Permanent, Despite Secret Summit Talks

In a shocking turn of events, it seems that Prince Harry has no intention of returning to Britain anytime soon, despite rumors of a secret summit between his aides and those of King Charles III. According to insiders close to the Duke of Sussex, 40, the couple is "very happy" in their new life in California and are not planning on leaving any time soon.

This bombshell news comes after The Scholarly Note.com revealed that Tobyn Andreae, a senior aide to King Charles, had met with Meredith Maines, head of Harry's household in Montecito, and her colleague Liam Maguire, who runs the Sussexes' PR team in the UK. The meeting was seen as a sign of hope for reconciliation between the feuding royal family members.

Friends of Harry and Meghan said the couple are ¿very happy¿ in California and are never likely to return to the UK

However, sources close to Harry have now confirmed that the couple is not planning on re-establishing themselves in the UK anytime soon. "They're very happy living in and raising their family in California, and as it stands, they have no plans to leave," said a source who is close to the prince.

The news may come as a disappointment to those hoping for a reconciliation between Harry and his father, King Charles III. The two have been at odds since the Sussexes' dramatic departure from the royal family in 2020. However, despite the rocky past, there has been speculation that Harry might return to the UK and rejoin the royal fold.

Last week's meeting between the aides of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and King Charles III was seen as a sign of hope for reconciliation. The meeting reportedly took place at a London private members' club, with sources saying that everyone involved just wants to "move on and move forward now."

However, despite this progress, it seems that Harry is committed to his new life in California. In an interview earlier this year, the Duke expressed uncertainty about how much longer his father has left, sparking criticism for fueling speculation about the monarch's health.

When asked if he expected forgiveness from his family, Harry said, "Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book [his autobiography, Spare]."

Despite this, Harry has expressed a clear desire for reconciliation with his family. "I would love reconciliation with my family," he said. "There's no point in continuing to fight any more."

It remains to be seen if the Sussexes will ever return to the UK or if they will remain in their new life in California. One thing is certain, however - Prince Harry is committed to his new life and has no plans on leaving anytime soon.

THE SUSSEXES' LATEST MOVE: Sources Say Meghan Will Not Accompany Harry On Visits To The UK

In a shocking twist, sources close to the Sussexes have revealed that Meghan Markle will not accompany her husband, Prince Harry, on visits to the UK. According to insiders, Harry will continue to visit his family and patronages in the UK, but Meghan will remain behind in California.

This news comes as a surprise, given the couple's previous statements about dividing their time between the UK and North America. However, sources say that this plan was never meant to be a permanent arrangement, with the Sussexes opting for a more flexible approach to their royal duties.

Harry has repeatedly expressed concerns about his personal safety and the well-being of his family, particularly Meghan. In an interview earlier this year, he said, "I don't believe that Meghan is safe in the UK."

The couple's decision to leave the royal family was seen as a dramatic departure from the traditional royal role. However, sources say that the Sussexes are committed to their new life and will not be returning to the UK anytime soon.

ROYAL RUMBLINGS: The Future Of The Sussexes' Royal Patronages

As the Sussexes continue to navigate their new life in California, there is speculation about the future of their royal patronages. Sources say that Harry has decided to extend an olive branch to the royal family by inviting them to the 2027 Invictus Games, which will be held in Birmingham.

The move is seen as a sign of goodwill and a desire for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. However, sources close to the Sussexes say that there are no plans for Meghan to accompany Harry on the visit or for the couple to re-establish themselves in the UK.

As the royal family continues to navigate its latest chapter, one thing is certain - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are committed to their new life in California and will not be returning to the UK anytime soon.
