Meghan Markle is reportedly facing jokes over her "Eggxit" from California as she and Prince Harry prepare to spend an extended period in Britain. The couple plans to bring their dogs, but their much-loved flock of chickens will remain at their Montecito home under the care of household staff.
Harry and Meghan are preparing for a major change in their family routine after six years in California. However, their move across the Atlantic does not mean they are cutting ties with the US. Their Montecito mansion will remain, along with the chicken coop that became an unexpected symbol of Meghan's post-royal life.
"There has been plenty of joking about 'Eggxit' because the chickens became such a recognizable part of Meghan's California life," the source claimed to RadarOnline. "They featured prominently in the image she created after leaving Britain, so there is an obvious irony that the family is heading back to the UK while the chickens stay behind."
Meghan reportedly remains very attached to the chickens, but moving them across the Atlantic was never a realistic option. Another insider said the birds will stay at the Montecito home and continue to receive proper care.
Harry and Meghan originally rescued 10 hens from a commercial farm in California. Their neighbor, Ellen DeGeneres, later gave them another chicken. The birds also appeared during the couple's famous interview with Oprah Winfrey and later featured in one of Meghan's Netflix projects. The family even gave their chicken coop a personal name, "Archie's Chick Inn," after their son, Prince Archie.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stunned many when they announced they would be returning to the United Kingdom alongside their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
During their time in the United States, the family had two dogs, Pula and Mia, who were rescued in 2018 and 2022, respectively. They also have a flock of rescued chickens, but will any of these also be crossing the pond with the family?
HELLO! understands that while it's thought that the dogs will come with them, the chickens are unlikely to be crossing the Atlantic. However, this doesn't mean that the birds will be gotten rid of, as in the family's absence, staff will be tending to their Montecito home.
One of the chickens that the couple own is Sinkie, who previously belonged to Ellen DeGeneres, before the legendary comedian also moved to the UK. The bird had a broken fibula, which led to it being "picked on" by Ellen's other chickens.
"Sinkie's leg is fixed but our chickens were still picking on her so she had to be re-homed," Ellen revealed in a social media post. "Luckily our friends Harry and Meghan's coop had room for one more. Not sure yet what her royal ****** le will be."

Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let's start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Aug. 17, 2026.
Dana White heaps praise on incoming Contender Series prospect Bella Mir: 'A one-of-one unicorn': Bella Mir has all the credentials of a future great, but you can't count your chickens before they hatch in combat sports.
'Stressed' Din Thomas flamed for quitting (literally) on Gillian Robertson after uninspired UFC 330 loss: 'Stand behind your fighter': I'm glad Din already apologized for his UFC 330 outburst, because it was ugly work.
Former UFC **** le challenger questions Islam Makhachev's Welterweight future: 'His game has to change': It's always difficult for grinding wrestlers to go up in weight. Strength and size are major components to holding somebody down even if there's technique involved too.

Ohio State will be in the mix to sign the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2028 cycle. That may sound like counting chickens before they hatch, but the Buckeyes are rolling early and they just landed their second junior five-star pledge.
Lawrence (Mass.) St. John's Preparatory five-star quarterback Christopher Vargas is Rivals' No. 1 passer in the class and he's the No. 7 overall prospect in the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He's now committed to head coach Ryan Day and Co.
The 6-foot-4, 180-pounder announced his decision on Saturday, choosing Ohio State over a wave of other offers. Vargas did not name finalists leading into his announcement, and for the most part, his decision timeline was under the radar, at least on a national scale.
But, when it was reported earlier this week that Vargas would be taking his name off the board on Aug. 8, arrows pointed toward Columbus. The Big Ten program now has its next five-star QB commit.
"Just the coaching staff and the place they're at, the culture, they have everything that is great for me and the right fit for me," Vargas told Rivals' Steve Wiltfong when asked why he picked OSU. "I think Ohio State is the place that can develop me the best."

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Sunday said President Trump likes the daily strikes on Iran, which paused going into the weekend after nearly two straight weeks of attacks on Iranian infrastructure.
"I think we ought to continue the blockade and starve them out. I think we ought to bomb Pickaxe Mountain and try to reach what's underneath it, " Kennedy told CBS News's Margaret Brennan during his appearance on "Face the Nation."
"The president likes the daily attacks," Kennedy added. "He believes that sometimes you have to kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys."
Kennedy compared Iran's leaders to American serial killer Son of Sam and cult leader Charles Manson, calling them "more than mildly insane." But he added that the U.S. should not "just cut and run."
"If we can stand the pain of the rising cost of energy, we need to stay the course," he said. "At least for a few more months. I also don't think we need to send in troops. That's my opinion, for what it's worth."

How much will Thanksgiving dinner cost this year? Breaking down the bill, item by item.
CHELSEA, Mich. (AP) — Old Brick Farm, where Larry Doll raises chickens, turkeys and ducks, was fortunate this Thanksgiving season.
Doll's small farm west of Detroit had no cases of bird flu, despite an ongoing outbreak that killed more than 2 million U.S. turkeys in the last three months alone. He also avoided another disease, avian metapneumovirus, which causes turkeys to lay fewer eggs.
