They were on the hunt for candy. Shortly before sunset on Halloween<\/a>, Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a>, Meghan Markle<\/strong><\/a> and their children<\/a> made their way down a tree-lined street alongside other families. A photo that surfaced online showed Harry and 4-year-old Archie<\/a> \u2014 who appeared to be dressed as a skeleton\u2014holding hands and clutching orange jack-o\u2019-lantern buckets. Meanwhile, Meghan carried 2-year-old Lilibet<\/a> \u2014 who wore a poofy pink costume \u2014 on her hip as they roamed near their home in Montecito, California.<\/p>\n But next year, the Sussexes may be trick-or- treating in England. After leaving Britain and stepping down as senior working royals in 2020 amid growing tensions with his family, \u201cHarry and Meghan have been talking about moving back to London,\u201d a source exclusively reveals to Life & Style<\/em>, explaining that the duo \u201care going through one of the toughest times of their lives \u2014 and that\u2019s saying a lot, considering what they\u2019ve been through already. California just isn\u2019t cutting it for them, and their financial situation has become dire.\u201d<\/p>\n So much so that they recently resorted to begging King Charles III<\/strong> for their old jobs back. \u201cHarry\u2019s been trying to cut a secret deal to live and work with the royal family again,\u201d shares the source, \u201cand Charles has graciously agreed to it. He and Meghan are grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n Charles had cut Harry off financially following the move to North America, forcing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to find ways to earn money. They quickly signed deals with Netflix and Spotify, but the latter ended its lucrative multimillion-dollar contract with the couple in June, after they\u2019d produced just a single season of Meghan\u2019s \u201cArchetypes\u201d podcast. Now their $14.7 million mansion, 24\/7 private security, designer wardrobe and decadent vacations \u2014 in recent weeks, they\u2019ve been to Portugal and the Caribbean \u2014 are adding up. \u201cThey obviously need to cut their expenses,\u201d the insider tells Life & Style<\/em>, noting that the cost of maintaining their lifestyle has left Harry and Meghan \u201cabout $28 million in debt, and they seemingly have no new income. It\u2019s been a rude awakening.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s why, despite all the bad blood and family tensions Harry exposed in his January memoir, Spare, \u201che and Meghan want to return to Britain,\u201d claims the source, who says the prince, 39, and Meghan, 42, \u201chave tried to make it work [in America], but it hasn\u2019t happened \u2014 and their money problems have directly affected their marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n In Meghan\u2019s ideal world, however, she\u2019d be reunited with her in-laws \u2014 whom she and Harry have accused of everything from racism to physical violence \u2014 only part-time. \u201cShe thinks they\u2019ll still be living in LA eight months a year and can rent a massive Kensington Palace apartment the rest of the time,\u201d the source tells Life & Style<\/em>, pointing out that the couple previously resided on the palace grounds in a small cottage. \u201cShe believes it could help them repair their marriage.\u201d It would certainly help repair their fractured relationship with Charles, 75.<\/p>\n \u201cHe loves Harry and his grandchildren, and having his family back together is what he\u2019s wanted,\u201d says the source. But his approval comes with conditions. Namely, \u201cMeghan and Harry have to agree not to speak ill of the royals again,\u201d says the source. \u201cThat\u2019s a must. It would be an utter embarrassment if they were to be kicked out of the family for a second time.\u201d Assuming the Sussexes have made peace with that, adds the source, \u201cthey could resume royal duties by as soon as December.\u201d Not everyone is on board, though. Prince William<\/strong><\/a> and wife Princess Kate<\/strong><\/a>, both 41, \u201cdon\u2019t think Harry and Meghan moving back is such a good idea,\u201d says the source, noting that William and Kate relocated to a new house on the Windsor Castle estate about an hour outside of London last year, but have maintained their country home in Norfolk, as well as Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace. \u201cSo they\u2019d still be neighbors with the Sussexes in London. And Meghan and Kate as neighbors again could be problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n Meghan famously claimed Kate made her cry over an ill-fitting bridesmaid dress, but after such a lengthy estrangement between the couples, \u201cWilliam does want to repair his relationship with his brother,\u201d the source tells Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cThe thought is that they\u2019ll all have to leave the past behind them and start fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
