Prince Harry left the royal family back in 2020 and has since then established his life in Montecito, California - where, by all accounts, he's living the American dream.

Prince Charles' younger son has set up home with his wife Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in a stunning $14.5m mansion and the couple have thrown themselves into many different projects since moving abroad.  And so royal fans were surprised to read a report earlier this week that suggested that Prince Harry was thinking about a potential return to royal duties.

In the first episode of A Right Royal Podcast’s new season 4, which you can listen to below, host Andrea Caamano talks to HELLO!’s royal editor, Emily Nash about the truth behind these reports – with Emily explaining that Harry is “very happy” in Montecito with his family.

Of his return to royal duties, Emily tells Andrea: "My understanding is it's not quite the case, that, you know, his life is in Montecito. He's obviously very happy there. He's gone to great lengths to set up this new life, with Meghan and their children in California. But I do think, you know, he would like to spend more time in the UK, supporting his patronages. You know, he's still closely connected to quite a few organisations."

Elsewhere in the episode, Emily also talks about the possible contact the Duke may still have with his former royal advisors and what lies ahead for the royals now that they are back at work.

In the episode, Andrea and Emily are also joined by three HELLO! colleagues to talk all about the royal wedding of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and Durek Verrett.

The trio, alongside Andrea, spent five unforgettable days in Norway last week and attended all of the couple's pre-wedding celebrations alongside their big day – so they have plenty of never-before-heard stories to share with listeners.
