Heading Home: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Return to California After Queen’s Funeral

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are heading back to California after attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral service in the UK.

The couple, who arrived in the UK last week following the death of Her Majesty, had not anticipated staying for an extended period.

However, they are now looking forward to reuniting with their children, Lilibet and Archie, after what has been an emotional and heartbreaking week.

According to a source close to the couple, this is the longest time they have ever been apart from their kids.

The insider also revealed that during the funeral, Harry was seen scanning the room, possibly reflecting on his mother Princess Diana's funeral.

Body language expert Adrienne Carter commented on this, saying, “Harry is scanning around the family.

Maybe he's thinking about this way of life that's no longer the norm for him.

There's no doubt he feels sad on this occasion and he could be remembering his mother's funeral too.”

However, not everyone agrees with the expert's interpretation.

Some royal fans have expressed a different view, suggesting that Harry appeared angry rather than sad in the pictures.

Speculations have also arisen regarding the couple's expectations from King Charles, with some believing that they may not receive everything they desire.

It seems that their previous attempts to communicate their wishes through leaked articles indicate their desperation and frustration at not getting their way.

The funeral may have served as a realization that their demands will go unmet.

During the funeral, Prince William and Prince Harry maintained a distance between them.

Despite walking side by side from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, the once-close brothers sat separately during the ceremony.

They did, however, march together during the procession to Wellington Arch.

After the committal service, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left in separate vehicles, while the Prince of Wales and Kate departed in another.

Insiders reveal that William has been focused on processing his grief and honoring the Queen, rather than dwelling on his relationship with Harry.

It is clear that he is determined to do what is right for his grandmother.

In an interesting development, a lip-reading expert, Jackie Press, observed a conversation between Prince Harry and Prince William before the Queen's committal service.

At around 4:20 pm, as they prepared for the service in St George's Chapel, Windsor, Prince William appeared to let Harry and Meghan go ahead of him to the pew.

When Harry asked, “Shall we go through first?

“, William nodded and replied, “Yes.”

He then gestured to his wife, Kate, telling her to let them go ahead.

As Harry and Meghan walked past, Prince George and Princess Charlotte took their seats.

Towards the end of the service, Prince Harry shared a heartwarming moment with his niece, Princess Charlotte, as he briefly smiled reassuringly at her.

As Prince Harry and Meghan return to California, they leave behind a funeral that not only marked the end of an era but also highlighted the complexities of their relationship with the royal family.

The world continues to watch their journey, wondering what lies ahead for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
