Harry and Meghan ‘returning to UK that sees them very differently six years on’The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on a visit to Bondi Beach earlier this year (Picture: AP) When Prince Harry and Meghan left the UK for Montecito six years ago, the world was a different place. Much of the world was in lockdown due to the Covid pandemic, Queen Elizabeth was still on the throne – and a decent slice of the UK public still quite liked the couple, who had recently stepped down as working royals. As they prepare for their return this month, much has changed. Harry’s father Charles is now king; he and Meghan have another child, Princess Lilibet; plenty of dirty laundry has been aired. And the public appears to have definitively changed its mind. Royal expert Duncan Larcombe told Metro: ‘They’re now at the bottom, above only Prince Andrew – or former Prince Andrew – in popularity.
