A source close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told People that Meghan is doing well during the family’s temporary stay in the U.K., but misses California and her mother, Doria Ragland. The family is reportedly planning to spend the holidays with Ragland, while Meghan is expected to make relatively few public appearances.
Meghan Markle is doing well during the Sussexes’ temporary stay in the U.K. but misses California and her mother, Doria Ragland, a source close to Meghan and Prince Harry told People this week. The update comes as Meghan joins Harry for public visits in Nottingham and reports say the family plans to spend the holidays with Ragland rather than the royal family.
Meghan and Harry visited Community Recording Studio and the Himmah Hub food bank in Nottingham, according to ELLE’s report. The day before, Meghan was photographed having lunch in London with George Northwood, her wedding reception hairstylist. The appearances mark a return to public engagements during the family’s stay, though a source cited by The Telegraph said Meghan’s appearances are expected to be relatively rare.
The source close to the couple told People that Meghan is keeping busy and staying in touch with friends in Montecito. The source said she misses home and her mother, who lives in Los Angeles, and that the family is planning to return for the holidays. Meghan is looking forward to seeing friends and has already begun making plans with them, the source said.
People reported that Meghan, Harry and their children, Archie and Lilibet, will spend the holidays with Ragland rather than with the royal family. The Times also reported that the family would not spend Christmas with the royals, citing a source who said they did not expect an invitation and thought a joint celebration would be awkward. Those accounts describe the family’s reported plans; neither report establishes that the Sussexes have publicly announced them.
A Temporary Stay, Not a Permanent Move
The update gives a personal account of how Meghan is experiencing a stay that places the family in Harry’s home country while keeping their California base. The couple have retained their Montecito home, and their spokesperson described the U.K. period as extended but temporary. Their reported plans to return for the holidays also point to continuing ties with California, where Ragland and Meghan’s friends live.
The distinction matters because the move could otherwise be read as a permanent relocation or a return to royal duties. The available statements do not support either conclusion: the spokesperson described a temporary stay, and a source cited by The Telegraph said Meghan’s priorities are her children and family, her business and a possible acting-career reboot. That account portrays her public schedule as limited rather than organized around regular engagements.

Why the Sussexes Are in Britain
Harry and Meghan lived in Montecito for about six years before temporarily relocating to the U.K. in late August. Their spokesperson told The New York Times that they had decided to spend an extended period in Britain that autumn after a summer trip with family and friends. The spokesperson said they wanted Archie and Lilibet to spend more time in a country important to their family’s story.
A source told People in late August that the decision was made together as a family. Another Montecito source said Meghan felt fortunate that the children could experience both countries. The reports present the stay as a family decision and a temporary arrangement, not a permanent move back to Britain.
““She’s keeping busy, as she always does, and staying in close contact with her friends in Montecito.””

Details of the Holiday Plans
The reports do not specify when the family will return to California or how long the U.K. stay will last beyond its description as an extended period in autumn. The spokesperson’s statement said the move was temporary but did not give an end date. The Sussexes have not, in the material cited here, publicly confirmed the reported Christmas arrangements with Ragland.
It is also unclear which public engagements Meghan may take on next. The remarks about her priorities and rare appearances came from a source cited by The Telegraph, not from a detailed public schedule issued by Meghan or Harry. Her reported interest in reading scripts does not establish that she has accepted an acting project.

Family Plans and Further Appearances
The immediate next milestone is the family’s reported holiday visit with Ragland and return to California, although dates have not been reported. Meghan and Harry may continue their U.K. activities during the temporary stay, but the account from The Telegraph suggests readers should not expect frequent appearances from Meghan.
Further details may come through the couple’s representatives or new reporting about the family’s travel and schedule. Until then, the confirmed public description remains that the U.K. period is temporary, the Montecito home is being kept, and the family has not announced a date for leaving Britain.
