How Meghan and Harry live in the UK

Kelly became the first friend of the Duchess of Sussex from California to visit her after the move. On September 23, she posted a series of photos from the trip.

In one photo, Markle is holding her friend’s young son Jack during a cozy lunch at a pub. In another, Prince Harry is playing with the baby on the floor.

"We’re having such a wonderful time. There’s something so special about seeing this magical place with my best friend and bringing my sweet Jack along for the adventure," Zajfen wrote.

She also said that she was happy to witness this new chapter in Meghan’s life and share her young son’s first impressions of the trip with her.

"Family time was exactly what the soul needed. And some mashed potatoes and fish and chips," the Duchess’s friend added.

What is known about Meghan and Harry’s move

The couple began a new chapter after six years of living in the US. Sources cited Harry’s desire for his children to know the country where he grew up better and understand their family background as one of the reasons for the return to the UK. It is also important to Meghan that they get to know both of their parents’ worlds.

Since the move, the family has already shared glimpses of their new life. Meghan posted a video of the children in the countryside, while Harry has started appearing regularly at charity events again. According to sources, they plan to live in the UK for an extended period, although there are no plans for them to return to official royal duties.
