The columnist argues that any decision by Prince Harry and Meghan to return to Britain would be a serious mistake, drawing a parallel with her own unhappy move back to England after six years in the United States. She says the conditions that prompted the Sussexes to leave in 2020 — including privacy concerns, hostile coverage, family tensions and security worries — have not improved, and may have worsened.

Using a personal account, she describes leaving Britain abruptly for New York, building a satisfying life there, then returning after nostalgia obscured the reasons she had left. She suggests Harry may similarly miss aspects of British life, while noting that he and Meghan appeared settled in Montecito, where Meghan is close to her mother and their public projects have been based; the article is opinion rather than reporting confirmed plans for a move.
