Meghan Markle is sticking it out in the U.K. with Prince Harry but with an increasingly heavy heart, per a source, who says she's counting the days down till her next visit back to Montecito and struggling more than ever with her new reality.
"Meghan is doing her best to keep her chin up and put on a happy face for Harry because he's been begging her to cheer up and have some patience," says Star's source. "But all the pub lunches in the world aren't going to change the fact that she is desperately homesick already."
The **** ss of Sussex, 45, was born and raised in California and it's where she and Harry, 42, settled down after stepping down as senior working members of the royal family in 2020.
"She misses their property in Montecito, she misses going to the beach, she misses her friends," reveals the source. "She's so grateful that her best friend [Kelly Zajfen] came out with her kids and husband for a visit to try and help her get through this transition, but it's not as though she can stay forever."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest appearance has sparked fresh relationship speculation. Body language expert Inbaal Honigman said the couple appeared out of sync during their first joint U.K. outing since returning. The Duke and ******* ss of Sussex were photographed holding hands while walking to a Cotswolds pub. However, their relaxed appearance contrasted with the expert's interpretation of their body language.
According to News24, body language expert Inbaal Honigman ******* yzed photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry arriving at The Falkland Arms in the Cotswolds. The images, first published by The Sun, marked the couple's first public appearance together since relocating to Britain.
"They appear out of sync with each other during their first public outing, which could point to a potential clash," Honigman claimed. She alleged the couple displayed "very different body language cues" throughout their walk. The expert pointed to several moments in the photographs. She claimed Harry often looked straight ahead while Meghan focused elsewhere. She also noted that Meghan appeared guarded with one hand across her body, while Harry walked with a more relaxed stride.
According to the report, Honigman also highlighted a moment when Harry touched his ear, describing it as a sign of discomfort. "Their mismatched body language communicates a period of disharmony within their household," she alleged. She further claimed Harry walking several paces behind Meghan as they approached the pub "could be another sign of potential friction."
However, people at the venue reportedly described a very different scene. The Sun quoted a pub insider who said the couple "just acted like locals" during lunch. Meghan reportedly ordered gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips, while Harry chose a chicken, ham and leek pie.

Hay bales, bunnies, and big smiles set the scene as Brittany and Patrick Mahomes' kids welcomed autumn, engaged in outdoor activities, farm fun, and festive surprises. The family photos featuring their three little ones capture sweet moments enjoyed by the children.
Brittany Mahomes took to Instagram to share a carousel of her family in a fall mood. Her caption was simple: "It's fall y'all," followed by a leaf emoji. The pictures point to the family enjoying the outdoors at a pumpkin patch with farm animals and autumn décor. The couple shares three kids: Sterling, 5, Bronze, 3, and Golden Raye, 1.
The family of five also visited Kansas City's Power and Light District, which is a "walkable neighborhood featuring world-class restaurants, modern living," and premier entertainment facilities, according to the district's Instagram page.
The opening photo of the carousel sets the tone for the outing. Patrick carries Sterling on his shoulders and holds Golden in one arm, while Bronze stands close by. Brittany smiles beside them in a Chiefs tee, sunglasses, and black rain boots.
Later frames show the quieter moments. Bronze and Golden hold hands on a hay bale in front of a wall of autumn leaves, with the name of the farm, "Johnson Farms," behind them. In other photos, Sterling grins while cradling a spotted rabbit, and at lunch, she hides behind a flatbread mask with eyeholes.

A recent candid photo of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry going on a lunch date has sparked fresh debate online. The images show the couple holding hands in the Cotswolds, and while most saw a normal couple spending time together, one commentator sees something else in them. He questions how the pictures came about and what they might signal about the Sussexes.
Commentator Link Lauren shared his views in a video clip posted on X where he spoke about the couple's "romantic pub date" and their "first photos together since UK return." Lauren questioned how the photos were taken. "You want me to believe that a photographer just happened to catch you on a little date night in the Cotswolds?" he asked. He said Meghan Markle "allegedly" arranges such moments and also remarked that her face looked "a little bit facetuned."
He then offered his own theory. In his view, the couple licensed the pictures to an agency. "That's what I believe," he said. The commentator also looked at the photographer's website. He said it invites visitors to "earn money" by sending in celebrity photos, videos, and tips. He went on to suggest that Meghan may have even worked with the photographer.
The source noted his interpretation of the strain between the couple. Lauren pointed to Prince Harry's schedule, saying that the Duke of Sussex has appeared at several charity events without Meghan in recent times. "It's pretty much known across the UK at this point in aristocratic circles and the press. They are conscious uncoupling," he claimed.
As a result, Lauren argued that the hand-holding photos were a response to this. Meghan, he said, wanted to be seen "staking her claim" over her husband. Lauren also pointed to the couple's reported plans to split time between the UK and the US. He said that this arrangement made the public display of unity more notable.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's friend has reportedly suggested that the couple's recent romantic photos from their UK outing may carry a deeper meaning. The Duke and ***** ss of Sussex were recently photographed holding hands during a lunch date at a Cotswold pub. Notably, the outing marked the couple's first public appearance together since reportedly relocating back to the UK on August 26.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's friend told Rob Shuter that the photos from the couple's recent UK outing were taken with intention and purpose. For those unfamiliar, The Sun published exclusive images of the Sussexes on October 2, showing Harry and Meghan holding hands as they arrived at The Falkland Arms pub in the Cotswolds on October 1.
The couple opted for subtly coordinated dark-toned outfits, and both wore sunglasses during the outing. The "Suits" star wore an all-black ensemble with her hair loose, while the Duke of Sussex sported an olive-green fall jacket and a baseball cap.
The friend claimed, "This has Meghan's fingerprints all over it." The source explained that Markle is highly familiar with the worlds of media, photography, and publicity. According to the friend, she understood that the timing was right to send a pointed message to their critics and naysayers through the loved-up images.
A media insider also weighed in on the couple's recent UK outing, arguing that the paparazzi did not simply happen to capture the pair. Instead, the insider claimed that Harry and Meghan provided ample opportunities to be photographed.

Photographs of Harry and Meghan walking into a Cotswolds pub on Thursday, published in The Sun on Saturday, have raised suspicions that the Sussexes may have quietly co-operated with the anonymous photographer who snapped them.
The first tingle to the collective "spidey sense" of royal watchers came from how pin-sharp they are—rather like the pictures of Thomas Markle getting measured for his wedding suit—which is always a bit of a giveaway.
Also, British photographers don't wait outside random pubs on the off chance that Harry and Meghan might show up. And, given you are not allowed in the U.K. to publish photos sourced by following the subject, one has to wonder how a professional photographer just happened to be parked up outside the Falkland Arms pub in Great Tew on Thursday, in the perfect position to grab photos that look like a typical U.S.-style tabloid set-up.
Also, the pictures tell exactly the story the Sussexes want. There has been a lot of speculation about their marriage, and whether it's really as strong as it's made out to be, and here they are, hand in hand, going for a romantic, midweek pub lunch.
Plus, this is all studiously English. The Sussexes, you may recall, told us at some length that England's iconic institution, its monarchy, was a ghastly, corrupt, racist outfit that would be quite happy to see them dead. Now, they want to make it clear that they love England after all, and how better to do that than by shunning the fancy elite restaurants in London in favor of an ancient British pub (named after Lucius Cary, second Viscount Falkland, who died at the battle of Newbury in 1643), where a humble dish of fish and chips costs £20 ($26).

A quiet pub lunch for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has created considerably more noise online. The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex were photographed holding hands while walking to a historic Cotswolds pub during their latest stay in Britain. Although the couple reportedly behaved like ordinary customers once inside, their photographed arrival quickly became the focus of a heated debate. Critics accused the Sussexes of importing a "Hollywood circus" into the picturesque English countryside, while others questioned why two private citizens grabbing lunch had become news at all.

Harry and Meghan were photographed heading to The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, on October 1, marking their first joint public outing in Britain since returning to the country. According to The Sun, the couple held hands as they approached the traditional 16th-century pub. Meghan wore an all-black ensemble with contrasting white shoes, while Harry dressed casually in jeans and a jacket. He completed his outfit with a Santa Barbara Fire Department baseball cap. Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were reportedly at school during the outing. The couple apparently opted for hearty British dishes once inside. Meghan reportedly ordered gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, while Harry selected chicken, ham and leek pie served with mashed potatoes, greens and gravy.

Charles Spencer is sharing more details about Princess Diana's claims that King Charles III was "in love with his valet."
During a Thursday, October 1, interview on Next Question With Katie Couric, the 9th Earl Spencer, 62, discussed his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, and his late sister's controversial remark about Charles, now 77.
Spencer recounted in the book that Diana took him to lunch and told him she was divorcing Charles.
"And then she said this line, which I put in the book, which was, 'My husband's in love with his valet,'" Spencer shared. "We didn't push that any further, because the headline was, 'I'm getting divorced.' So I remember that, what she said though, because it was quite a jarring thing."
Rumors about Charles and an alleged "incident" involving a staffer first surfaced in 2003, when a former royal aide secured an injunction preventing the Mail on Sunday from publishing the allegedly libelous story, per CBS News.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson recalled how his attempt to honor late friend Joan Rivers took a comically awkward turn.
After Joan died on September 14, 2014, at age 81, a shiva — the traditional seven days of mourning — was held in her memory. Ferguson, 50, thought he could slip over during a break in filming Modern Family.
"I got to know Joan Rivers a little bit at the end of her life, and I was invited to her shiva when she passed away," he told guest Arturo Castro on the Tuesday, September 29 episode of his Dinner on Me podcast. "There was an extra long break on either side of lunch where I wasn't needed, so I thought, 'I'm going to go to Joan's house and attend her shiva for a moment.'"
Once there, he explained, he found a "who's who of comedy," but then a text came in: Ferguson's scenes had been moved up and he was needed back in five minutes.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson recalled how his attempt to honor late friend Joan Rivers took a comically awkward turn.
After Joan died on September 14, 2014, at age 81, a shiva — the traditional seven days of mourning — was held in her memory. Ferguson, 50, thought he could slip over during a break in filming Modern Family.

Immigrants applying to live permanently in the United States can be rejected if they receive public benefits, beginning this week.
Use of Medicaid, food stamps, tuition ******* istance and free school lunch programs, among other government ******* istance, could all be grounds for denying a green-card application.
Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post.
The policy from President Donald Trump's administration, which took effect Friday, marks a dramatic change to a long-standing federal policy consistent with the president's efforts to restrict legal immigration pathways.
The rule could reduce federal and state payments by $13 billion a year, by persuading some 950,000 people to disenroll from or avoid federal safety net programs, according to estimates from the Department of Homeland Security. The agency said that the rule aligns with Congress's intent that noncitizens "in the United States be self-sufficient and not dependent on taxpayer-funded government benefits."

Wall Street spent years debating whether crypto deserved a place inside the financial system.
Franklin Templeton increasingly thinks that debate has it backwards. The more important question may be how much of the existing financial system eventually starts behaving like crypto.
For Chris Perkins, head of Franklin Crypto, the shift is already underway.
"Every institution is integrating blockchain technology in one way, shape or form," Perkins told Coinage. "Market structure is changing overnight. We will be in an era of 24-seven markets. If you're not 24-seven capable, you'll be left behind and someone else is going to eat your lunch."
That is a notably aggressive prediction coming from Franklin Templeton, one of the world's largest traditional ***** et managers. But Franklin has increasingly been putting money behind that conviction, too.

Browsing through the available strike selections for month-of-October bull call spreads, it's impossible to ignore one glaring idea for GE Aerospace (GE). With a maximum payout of 222.58% in exchange for a net debit (cash outlay) of $310, the risk-reward profile seems unusually favorable. Of course, Wall Street isn't in the business of giving traders a free lunch — and that's where the problem with GE stock lies.
While the breakeven price of $333.10 represents "only" a 5% lift from the current spot price, the implied probability of this threshold (derived from the Black-Scholes family of calculations) sits at 29.6%. Again, that's just to break even. If you want to be fully profitable, GE Aerospace stock must trigger the $340 second-leg strike price.

It keeps getting bigger and bigger, and you know you pray for good weather, and hopefully everything works out. But it's fun. I look forward to it. Our players look forward to it. We stay downtown at the Westin, and the band's coming, so it's just really exciting, man, to come back and be able to do this."

Pierce Brosnan enjoyed a special family day out in celebration of his son Paris' girlfriend's birthday. Alex Lee-Aillon was surrounded by her loved-ones on the big day, which was documented by her partner on his Instagram.
Paris and Alex were joined by Pierce and his mother, Mary May Smith, for a birthday lunch in London. The 25-year-old shared a sweet photo of the family gathered around a table in a chic restaurant. Paris wore a black-and-white striped T-shirt with a pair of black jeans and white sneakers. Pierce sat next to his son, dressed in a crisp white shirt with navy tailored pants. Meanwhile, Alex looked stylish in a checkered, zip-up jacket and Mary wore a white top with a pale blue scarf.
In a separate set of photos, the model had slipped into a floral midi dress that featured a frilly hem. The garment was styled with pink ballet flats that perfectly matched Alex's rosy-stained lip shade. Alex posed with Mary, who looked chic in a pale-blue blazer, cream sweater, and navy pants. Paris shared another snap that captured his father and grandmother walking together –
The family celebrated Alex's birthday (@ Instagram)
"Happy birthday to my other half alexleeaillon," Paris penned in an Instagram tribute post. "Happy birthday dear Alex. Happiest of days. Love," commented Pierce.

Prince George, who turned 13 in July, is hitting a new milestone in September.
Kensington Palace confirmed that he would be starting school at Eton College come the fall semester. He is following in the footsteps of his father, Prince William, and uncle, Prince Harry, who also attended the prestigious boarding school.
Eton College houses about 1,350 students across 25 boarding houses, and each boy has his own room, per their website. Since its founding in 1440, the school has educated 20 British prime ministers, cultural figures and generations of royals.
The school is also close to William and Kate Middleton's family home, about a 15-minute drive from Forest Lodge in Windsor.
As a student, Prince William often walked to Windsor Castle on Sundays to have lunch with Queen Elizabeth. Now, George will become the next future king to join the royal tradition at Eton.

Karnataka batter Karun Nair has taken a subtle but pointed swipe at South Zone after being overlooked for the playing XI in the ongoing Duleep Trophy final against East Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Nair, who was part of the South Zone squad, was left out of the XI for both the semi-final and the final. After a post on X (formerly Twitter) described his omission as 'inexplicable', Nair reposted it with his own response.
'Inexplicable would be an understatement,' he wrote, accompanied by a laughing emoji.
The decision has gained further attention after South Zone endured a difficult first two days of the final, with East Zone piling up 708 runs before being bowled out.
Nair did not remain with the South Zone squad after learning that he would not feature in the final. Instead, he returned home to join the Karnataka State Cricket ******* ociation's pre-season red-ball camp.
The batter then made an immediate impact, scoring a century for KSCA Secretary XI against Chhattisgarh.
South Zone have not provided an explanation for Nair's omission from the playing XI for the final. His absence had already raised eyebrows before the previous match against North Zone, when captain Tilak Varma explained that Nair's exclusion was a tactical call.
At the time, Varma said Nair was 'just unlucky' after opting for Hyderabad's left-handed batter Kodimela Himateja in the middle order.
"Karun is just unlucky. He has scored a lot of runs in domestic seasons," Tilak had said while addressing the media at the CoE.
"I have chosen Himateja in place of Karun as they have good left-arm spinners. So we wanted a leftie in the middle order. He has also scored a decent amount of runs in domestic cricket. I was just backing him. As a youngster, he also has a good career. At the same time, it is very unfortunate for Karun."
However, Himateja's opportunity did not work out. He was dismissed for a two-ball duck and subsequently dropped for the final.
South Zone replaced him with another left-hander, Devdutt Padikkal, rather than bringing Nair back into the XI.
The omission of Nair has become an even bigger talking point after South Zone's bowling attack struggled to contain East Zone in the final.
East Zone resumed the second innings on 385/4 and continued to dominate from the outset. South Zone took the new ball after one over, hoping Mohammad Siraj and MD Nidheesh could make early inroads, but neither managed to break the partnership between Ishan Kishan and ******* ar Kushagra.
Kishan immediately attacked Siraj and Nidheesh, while Kushagra provided strong support from the other end. South Zone subsequently turned to Tripurana Vijay and Shreyas Gopal, but the change in bowling did little to halt the scoring.
Kushagra eventually completed his sixth first-class century, making 101 from 132 ******* with eight fours and five sixes before falling to Vijay shortly before lunch.
Kishan then took complete control of the innings.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may have been among the early contributors for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy final, but it was captain Ishan Kishan who eventually stole the show with a breathtaking double century against South Zone at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Sooryavanshi opened the innings for East Zone and made a brisk 44 off 37 deliveries. During the match, former India cricketer and commentator Vivek Razdan used Kishan's remarkable innings to offer some advice to the teenage batter.
"Sooryavanshi sahab, now you have to learn from players like Ishan Kishan. Once you are set, you have to learn how to play a long innings," Razdan said on commentary.
The message came as Kishan continued to pile on the runs and turn the final into a one-sided contest.
Resuming on 385/4, East Zone's batters showed little sign of slowing down. South Zone turned to the new ball in search of wickets, but Mohammad Siraj and MD Nidheesh struggled to make an impact.
Kishan immediately put pressure on the bowlers, collecting consecutive boundaries against Siraj before taking on Nidheesh. ***** ar Kushagra also joined the ***** ault as South Zone rotated between pace and spin.
Kushagra eventually completed his sixth first-class century, scoring 101 from 132 ***** with eight fours and five sixes. His dismissal shortly before lunch finally gave South Zone a breakthrough.
Kishan, meanwhile, remained in complete control.
The East Zone captain repeatedly found gaps in the field and punished anything loose. Even when South Zone introduced part-timers Devdutt Padikkal and Shaikh Rasheed, the flow of runs did not stop.
Kishan brought up his double century from 270 ***** and continued attacking thereafter. He raced beyond 250 before fatigue briefly forced him to retire from the field.
East Zone continued marching towards a massive total, eventually crossing 600 and then 700. When Mohammed Shami was dismissed for a quick 28, Kishan returned to the crease with the possibility of reaching an extraordinary triple century.
Kishan's pursuit of 300 ultimately came to an end when he was caught near the long-on boundary. The left-hander departed for a monumental 270 from 334 ***** , having smashed 30 fours and seven sixes.
His innings was the eighth-highest individual score in Duleep Trophy history and formed the backbone of East Zone's mammoth 708 all out.
Razdan had earlier highlighted not just the quality of Kishan's batting but also the physical demands of staying at the crease for such an extended period.
"Every person who is present here at this time stood up and applauded this innings. Because this is not just technique, this is not just temperament, this is also match fitness. To stay out there for so long in such heat and play an innings like this. What an innings by Ishan Kishan."
Kishan's marathon effort, alongside Kushagra's century, ensured East Zone posted more than 700 for only the third time in first-class cricket history at Chepauk.
