The Duke and Duchess of Sussex found their time in the United States to be more challenging than expected.

Prince Harry’s experiences in America did not unfold as anticipated
It has come to light that Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are planning to return to the UK from California with their two children—Prince Archie, now seven, and Princess Lilibet, aged five. Former royal butler Grant Harrold has shared insights on what may be driving this unexpected decision.
Speaking six years after the couple stepped down as Senior Royals in order to move to Meghan’s native USA, Grant told Us Weekly: “It is clear their time in America did not go to plan. We see that through the Netflix deal and some of their other commercial decisions. I think there are multiple factors at play. I suppose the dream life in the US that they imagined didn’t come off.”
Harry and Meghan signed high-profile deals with Netflix and Spotify after moving to the US but their projects for the streamers were met with mixed reviews.
