Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, has revealed his side of the story, stating that he and Meghan left the United Kingdom in “fear of their sanity and physical safety.”

Harry discussed their decision to relocate to America and the reasons behind it in his first memoir, Spare. The couple moved to the US after leaving their five-bedroom house near Windsor Castle called Frogmore Cottage.

Recalling his visit to Frogmore Cottage, he wrote: “How beautiful it all is, I thought. And also how sad.” The Duke stressed that he thought that this was going to be his and Meghan’s forever home, but it turned out to be only another “brief stop”. Harry had visited Frogmore Cottage following the funeral of Prince Philip.

“When my wife and I fled this place, in fear for our sanity and physical safety, I wasn’t sure when I’d ever come back. That was January 2020. Now, fifteen months later, here I was, days after waking to thirty-two missed calls and then one short, heart-racing talk with Granny: Harry… Grandpa is gone,” he wrote as per The Mirror.

Harry has since arrived in the UK several times. He recently came to London to attend a number of events pertaining to the Invictus Games.

Meghan arrived in the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. She was accompanied by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Sussexes’ kids, for the momentous occasion.

Omid Scobie, the author, has written on Meghan’s choice to stay in the United Kingdom in his book Endgame. According to him, the Duchess “never wants to set foot again in England.”
