‘Bruised’ Prince Harry and Meghan Meghan ‘plan six-week break from royal duties and want to move out of the UK’

HARRY and Meghan are reportedly planning a six-week break from royal duties starting next month so they can enjoy some “family time”.

It comes as the Duke of Sussex says he would like to move out of the UK entirely, according to The Sunday Times.

Harry, 35, said Cape Town in South Africa would be “an amazing place to base ourselves”. But he admitted moving there permanently would be very difficult.

Meanwhile, the couple are said to be hoping to build a traditional African bush lodge home in Botswana. Harry visited the country last month.

ITV’s Tom Bradby, who interviews them in a documentary tonight, says that Harry and Meghan, 38, appear “vulnerable and bruised” — following criticism of their recent preaching on trendy issues and their privacy battles.

They are believed to be planning on taking baby son Archie to the US in November to celebrate Thanksgiving in LA, where Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland lives.

But the tot is due to spend his first Christmas at the Queen’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk with the rest of the Royal Family.

A royal source told The Sunday Times: “The duke and duchess have a full schedule of engagements and commitments until mid-November, after which they will be taking some much-needed family time.”
