Prince Harry’s separation from Meghan Markle is set to end, with the Duke of Sussex’s return to California is imminent.

The father-of-two is due home to Montecito this week after spending much time abroad, focusing on his solo engagements.


Prince Harry, 40, initially travelled to New York on September 22 to attend engagements for Climate Week and honour the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana.

The duke later crossed the Atlantic to London for a whistle-stop visit to attend the WellChild Awards, an organisation of which he is a patron.

In addition, the 40-year-old then travelled to southern Africa for engagements concerning his charity Sentebale, which he co-founded in 2006.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle, 43, has remained home in California to look after their children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

The couple’s time apart has signalled to many commentators that the duo are undergoing a “professional separation”, thereby focusing on individual projects.

However, the separation will come to an end this week when Prince Harry returns to California.

The Duchess of Sussex stepped out over the weekend – the first time she had been photographed in public for weeks.

The former Suits actress attended a gala in Los Angeles to support the Children’s Hospital.

Meghan smiled and posed with friend Kelly Zajfen as photographers called out “Together ladies”.

She wore a modified version of the red Carolina Herrera gown that she was seen in at the Intrepid Museum Salute to Freedom Gala in November 2021.

Meghan told journalists: “The work that they do at Children’s Hospital LA is otherworldly and I think from my standpoint as a mother no one wants to have to be in a position where you need to go to a place like this.

“But if you have to the best place in the world you could go is Children’s Hospital LA.

“I have close friends who still have their children there going through treatments either from high school, close mum friends now that are having their children.”
