Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing a fresh wave of criticism in the UK, just a few months after the couple moved back to Harry’s home country.
A recent poll found that many people would rather not see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stay in Britain at all. Instead, respondents said they’d prefer the couple relocate to Australia, Reality Tea reports.
Some critics were even more blunt.
The couple has been told “We do not want them here,” with some Brits openly urging Harry and Meghan to set up their lives somewhere else.
The Australia idea comes from those poll respondents and critics, not from any announced plan by Harry and Meghan. As far as the reporting goes, the couple’s home is in England.
Harry and Meghan relocated to the UK in August, and they’ve been living at a non-royal base outside London ever since.
The move marked a major shift for the family. Harry and Meghan had spent six years living in California after stepping back from their royal duties in 2020.
Harry opened up about the decision in a recent interview with GQ, his first since the family’s return, and explained that returning to the UK was a last-minute decision rather than a long-planned one.
“We’ve had plans in the past, and I think for lots of people, it’s like, if you’re going to make a big move like this, that’s going to take a lot of planning,” Harry said. “For us, it was very short.”
He added that the couple had discussed the possibility before, but acted once the circumstances felt right.
“For us, when certain stars align, and it’s clear that this should or probably will end up being the case, then we lean into that,” he explained.
Their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, were a big part of the decision. Harry said he wanted them to experience the country where he grew up.
He hoped the kids could discover the good parts of his own childhood while avoiding some of the less pleasant experiences he went through.
But the GQ interview itself drew plenty of backlash from royal watchers. One expert warned that Harry was making a “big mistake” by discussing his family rift in public, claiming it could destroy any chance of reconciling with Prince William and King Charles.
One royal author went even further and called the interview “tone-deaf,” taking issue with its timing and with Harry’s habit of addressing the family situation publicly.
A separate royal expert claimed that Harry’s openness about the feud has fueled Prince William’s fears. The Prince of Wales has reportedly been wary of the Sussexes airing private family matters.
Harry has said repeatedly that he wants peace with his family. His critics argue that continuing to talk about those strained relationships in the press works against that goal.
Now the new poll adds public opinion to the pile, with a chunk of Brits suggesting the couple would be better off on the other side of the world.
For now, Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet remain at their home base outside London, roughly three months after making the move.
