The prince is reported to be restless in California, about to turn 40, dissatisfied with life among the rootless rich, and trying to re-establish ties with his old life in Britain before stepping down as a member of the royal family.
However, informed sources say Prince Harry has no plans to return to royal life in Britain.
They suggest Prince Harry is equally capable of returning to the UK from the US to visit and support his charities and projects.
Last week he visited the UK for his uncle’s memorial service and has since returned to the US.
Much of the show’s attention was focused on claims that Prince Harry did not speak to Prince William during a church service in Norfolk, causing distance between the brothers.
The service was for the late Lord Robert Fellowes, Princess Diana’s brother-in-law from the Spencer family, with whom Prince Harry had a good relationship.
At the Invictus Games service at St Paul’s Cathedral earlier this summer, the prince was seen with his Spencer relatives at an event not attended by senior royals.
When it was revealed that King Charles had cancer, the prince immediately returned to the United Kingdom: father and son had a brief reunion in London.
He has also visited the law courts in London, including his battle with tabloids over allegations of illegal information gathering.
There is also a complex legal battle with the Home Office over his security status in the UK, which has become a thorny issue in any discussions about a return.
In an interview with ITV, the prince said security concerns were one of the reasons he would “never bring my wife back to this country”.
But after such a well-documented departure from the UK in real life (in the Netflix film and his book Spare), the couple are now inevitably facing speculation about what will happen next.
They support a variety of charities and causes, and Meghan even posted a teaser on social media for a lifestyle cooking brand.
