Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the United Kingdom after living in the United States for about six years, according to reporting. One analysis highlights that the timing of their return may create a tax exposure they could potentially have reduced.
The sources say the couple’s reported net wealth is roughly $60 million and describe the decision as coming with a “multimillion-dollar” tax catch. The analysis argues that waiting longer—up to about four additional years—could have led to a “much better” tax outcome, implying that U.K. tax residency or related rules may be central to the issue.
While both outlets focus on the return and its financial implications, they frame the story differently: one centers on the headlines around the homecoming, while the other emphasizes the potential tax planning angle. Together, they present a scenario in which legal tax timing, rather than changes in their public plans, is the main issue driving the risk and potential downside.
