Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked everyone when it was revealed that they would be leaving their home in Montecito, California, and moving back to the U.K. for an extended period, with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, even starting school there.

Meghan Markle Wonders Is Moving Back To UK With Prince Harry Was A 'Mistake'
The tables have seemingly turned for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, according to a report by Closer. While previous reports claimed Harry was lonely and miserable in the U.S., and felt like he didn't have many friends or much of a purpose there, it seems like Meghan may now be experiencing something similar in the U.K.
An insider told the mag that the As Ever founder is "terrified" that she will be miserable in the U.K. again, just as she was when they first got married. "Then there's the uncertainty over how things are going to go with the royals and the British public," the insider went on, adding: "Meghan is understandably pretty anxious about that and already wondering if this was a mistake."
The reports come amid ongoing speculation about Harry and Meghan's marriage, with insiders previously claiming their marriage was "at breaking point" and that they were "now living essentially separate lives" as their individual ambitions took them in different directions. Harry is said to be focusing more on charitable causes and public service, while Meghan is concentrating on her business ventures and entertainment projects.

Fans Rally Around Meghan Markle Following Her Father's Arrest
The mom-of-two has also been dealing with some troubling family news following the arrest of her estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr. He was arrested by the FBI in Florida on Friday, November 6th, in connection with allegations involving child sexual abuse material.
Many people on social media have been rallying around Meghan and sending their support, with one fan writing on Instagram: "I feel so sorry for her." A second commented: "I feel so sorry for Meghan and her family." A third said: "Love you Meghan."
"People attacked her for years for not having a good relationship with her paternal family and now look! She was right!" exclaimed a fourth, while a fifth said: "My goodness, this is awful."
The arrest comes just weeks after she spoke out about the allegations against her father after her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., reportedly alerted authorities to suspected child sexual abuse material among their father's belongings at his former home in the Philippines.
In her statement, Meghan explained why she had chosen to keep her and Prince Harry's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, from ever meeting their grandfather, referencing a letter that had previously been sent to the police.
"In 2018, a letter was sent to the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection. That letter was subsequently shared with me. It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated."
The statement went on: "I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications' distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children, was for one reason: to protect them."
