Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly considering returning to Britain more frequently, as they are "not A-listers in Hollywood", according to a royal expert. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a planned visit to the UK earlier this month.
Harry spent more than five days in the country, undertaking a combination of private and public engagements without Meghan by his side.
Due to the absence of taxpayer-funded security, Meghan and the couple's two children arrived in Britain later in the week, attending no public engagements and remaining entirely out of the public eye.

The visit is understood to have been considered a success by the couple, largely due to a private reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove.
Speculation is mounting that the pair may now wish to return to the UK more regularly, possibly even permanently. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the couple have made their home in a Montecito mansion in California rather than the UK.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told The Daily Express, "Although his recent visit began disastrously and he will find the Court case against Associated Newspapers an expensive failure, Harry's morale will undoubtedly be boosted by the meeting involving Meghan and Archie and Lili and the King and Queen at Highgrove which has finally happened."
"He will undoubtedly plan more visits and it will have been noted by the Palace that they have kept silent subsequently as was undoubtedly agreed. The plan will probably be to repeat this, we lack details as to when and where, but the Sussexes' media supporters are active in looking forward. The hope will be that accommodation will be arranged for future trips and that an arrangement of some sort will be made regarding security."
He continued, "Harry's work for BetterUp and Travalyst and for the Archewell Charity and hers for As Ever, from what we know, is unlikely to make their fortune. Her Daytime Emmy nomination, however undeserved, for her Netflix cookery series, which was a frightful flop, will be welcomed. Harry also faces a Sentebale Court case which could be most unpleasant.
"They aren't bright or talented. They are undoubtedly looking back to Britain as they are not A-listers in Hollywood.
"If Harry could persuade the King to be present at next year's Invictus Games, it would hugely boost their appeal.
"More seriously, a public show of support for the Sussexes, who have done so much to discredit the royal family, could cause real trouble for the monarch from William, if he was ever minded to agree. William sees the threat and intensely distrusts them. There is more to follow, much more!!"
