The news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quitting the American dream and heading back to the UK has left many people in shock.
Many royal fans can't help but imagine what the real reason could be behind the sudden decision to return to the UK.
But experts claim that it might have to do with US ambitions faltering amid doomed Hollywood deals. That is mostly linked to stalled commercial ventures and a desire to spend more time in the United Kingdom than before.
The initial $20 million deal with Spotify was terminated, and their multi-million dollar Netflix contract also ended with mixed results. Their documentary Cookie Queens grossed a much lower figure of $354k on its opening weekend, trailing behind CatVideoFest 2026.
Meghan's lifestyle venture, originally introduced as American Riviera Orchard, was rebranded as As Ever. The pair now wish to establish a private non-royal residence and enroll the kids in an English School.
