Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering a move to Australia, a decision that King Charles would likely support. The couple, who recently visited Australia in April, have found the country to be a welcoming environment for their family and business ventures.
A Fresh Start Down Under
According to insiders, Prince Harry feels comfortable in Australia and believes the country could offer the Sussexes a fresh start. During their four-day private visit in April, the couple attracted large crowds and generated significant media attention, though not all of it was positive. Despite this, the trip was a commercial success, with Meghan earning a substantial fee for a appearance at a girls-only weekend retreat.
Commercial Ventures in Australia
Meghan has shown interest in expanding her business ventures in Australia. The couple's lifestyle brand, As Ever, and other commercial activities have found a receptive audience there. Additionally, the Australian government's decision to restore funding for Invictus Australia has renewed Harry's focus on the country.
Potential Benefits for the Royal Family
Buckingham Palace has long been concerned about Australia's potential transition to a republic, which could weaken the Commonwealth. A well-briefed Prince Harry could help maintain interest and respect for the monarchy in Australia. Moreover, relocating away from the Hollywood spotlight could lead to a quieter period for the Sussexes, something King Charles might welcome.
However, there are risks. If Harry and Meghan move to Australia, they might write another tell-all book, which could cause further tension within the Royal Family. For now, the couple appears to be seriously considering the move, which could mark a new chapter in their lives.
