Prince Harry’s close friend and journalist Bryony Gordon has finally reacted to the Duke and Meghan’s decision to move back to Britain after six years.

Speaking on This Morning, Bryony spoke about Harry and Meghan’s decision and said: "What I understand is that they have decided to be more of an international family."

The Hello!quoted the journalist friend of Harry as saying, "California is lovely. I've been to their house in Montecito. It's gorgeous. They're not letting go of it. It will remain somewhere that you can escape to… What I understand is that as lovely as California is, it's a long way away from lots of things."

She also reflected on Harry's close bond with family members.

Referring to Meghan and Harry’s recent trip to Britain with Archie and Lilibet, Bryony said, "When they came in July, they had a really lovely time at Althorp… with his uncle, Earl Spencer… I think that was really lovely, and I think the kids really loved it, and I think they want to be closer to that."

The outlet further reported that writing on her Substack about her surprising relationship with Harry, Bryony once said: "We have a long working friendship, born out of a mutual passion for talking about mental health issues."

Prince Harry had even given her an exclusive interview for her platform.

The Duke also appeared on Bryony's Mad Girl podcast in 2017.
