Meghan Markle returning to California from 'Cotswolds prison' without Prince Harry, Archie and Lilibet

A royal expert has claimed that Meghan Markle is set to return to California without her family-- husband Prince Harry and their kids Archie and Lilibet.

The royal expert has also claimed that the Duchess is heading back to California for just a week after returning to Britain on August 26.

Royal expert Alison Boshoff has said that Meghan is on her way back for "work" after just a few weeks in the UK, with their home rumoured to be in the Cotswolds.

She tells the News Nation: "She is going back by the way, here at half term and in the holidays. Half term is five weeks... so she is just dipping in and dipping out again."

"In five weeks, she'll be back in Montecito for a week. Then she'll come back, do another five weeks, another five weeks in her Cotswolds prison, and then back to Montecito for Christmas."

The Duchess is said to be "100% committed" to the UK return, as per the royal expert.

Alison Boshoff quoted the friends of Prince Harry as saying that “'Megs' is '100 percent all-in' with the move."

The royal expert’s remarks came days after Meghan and Harry were "surprised" by King Charles letter.

King Charles letter labelled Meghan and Prince Harry as "private citizens".

The spokesperson for the pair said that the couple "were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance".
