Prince Harry returned to the UK for a few days this week for the first time in months. The Duke of Sussex, 40, was seen waving to crowds on Tuesday and Wednesday as he stepped out in London for his court appeal hearing regarding his reduced security in the UK – a decision made in 2020 by the Home Office and Ravec when the prince moved to the US and left royal duty behind.
While the Duke is now living happily in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, 43, and their children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, royal experts have questioned whether the prince should be welcomed back to his home country with open arms.
Here at Express.co.uk, we have also questioned whether or not the duke should make a return and wanted to know what our readers think. The answers from a poll we started just over 24 hours ago may surprise you.
When we asked our readers ‘Should Prince Harry be welcomed back to the UK?’, the answer was almost a complete landslide. 2,962 people voted for no, meaning that 92 per cent of our readers do not think he should be welcomed back.
Meanwhile, seven per cent of our readers believe the duke should be welcomed back, with 218 votes in favour of this.
It is also important to note that one per cent of readers said they don’t know whether he should be welcomed back to his home country, with 37 votes for this option.
While Harry will no doubt have things about the UK he misses, he has not expressed a desire to ever return to the UK full-time.
Last year, the duke spoke at an event about how much he enjoyed living in the US with his wife and his children.
While in conversation with columnist and Dealbook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times DealBook Online Summit on December 4, Harry said: “I very much enjoy living here and bringing my kids up here. It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live.
“I feel as though it’s the life that my mum wanted for me. To be able to do the things I’m able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK — it’s huge.
“That is a fantastic opportunity and I’m hugely grateful for that.”
