Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to Southern California after extending their trip to the UK by several days due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. British tabloids report the couple flew British Airways to Los Angeles.
Report: Harry And Meghan Back In California After British Airways Flight
During this trip to the United Kingdom and Europe, Harry flew to Dusseldorf on a German government Airbus A340 jet. He then took military transport from London to Scotland when it became clear that his grandmother’s condition was quickly deteriorating.
He became the first member of the Royal Family to leave Balmoral after Queen Elizabeth’s death and was pictured boarding a British Airways jet from Aberdeen to London.
Two days after a state funeral and internment ceremony, Harry and Meghan reportedly jetted home to California, where they have been away from their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, for two weeks. According to Page6, the couple took a British Airways flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Los Angeles (LAX) on Tuesday. In Los Angeles, they were met on the tarmac and shuttled away from LAX in a black Lincoln SUV to thier home in Montecito.
On Tuesday, British Airways operated two flights to Los Angeles, including:
- BA283 – departing LHR at 9:45 am, arriving LAX at 1:00 pm – Airbus A350-900
- BA281 – departing LHR at 11:54 am, arriving LAX at 2:55pm – Boeing 777-300ER
Only BA281 offered a first class cabin.
British tabloids are having a field day about the strained relationship between William and Harry, Meghan’s request for a meeting with Charles, and the body language of the encounters between the Sussexes and Wales over the last week. Live and Let’s Fly will not traffic in those stories. Instead, I think it fitting to present how each one publicly remembered the late Queen.
On Thursday, the world lost an extraordinary leader, whose commitment to the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth was absolute. So much will be said in the days ahead about the meaning of her historic reign.
I, however, have lost a grandmother. And while I will grieve her loss, I also feel incredibly grateful. I have had the benefit of The Queen’s wisdom and reassurance into my fifth decade. My wife has had twenty years of her guidance and support. My three children have got to spend holidays with her and create memories that will last their whole lives.
She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life. I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real.
I thank her for the kindness she showed my family and me. And I thank her on behalf of my generation for providing an example of service and dignity in public life that was from a different age, but always relevant to us all.
My grandmother famously said that grief was the price we pay for love. All of the sadness we will feel in the coming weeks will be testament to the love we felt for our extraordinary Queen. I will honour her memory by supporting my father, The King, in every way I can.
In celebrating the life of my grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen—and in mourning her loss—we are all reminded of the guiding compass she was to so many in her commitment to service and duty. She was globally admired and respected. Her unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy. Let us echo the words she spoke after the passing of her husband, Prince Philip, words which can bring comfort to all of us now: “Life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings.”
Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings—from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren. I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between. You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over. And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.
Thank you for your commitment to service.
Thank you for your sound advice.
Thank you for your infectious smile.We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.
CONCLUSION
Harry and Meghan are back in California. Who would have thought that when they left sunny Santa Barbara two weeks ago, Harry would come back without a grandmother? Cherish the time you have with family, now more than ever.

Your last sentence bears repeating: “Cherish the time you have with family, now more than ever.” That’s vitally important even if your grandmother isn’t the Queen.
So will he take Row 1 in the new AA cabin?
LALF is having a field day with all this Harry and Megan gossip.
Thank goodness they’ve gone, now please keep them in now they are back.
You are a heartless twit. Remember they are still family to the King & the rest of the Royal family regardless of anything you say!
Oh dear, what an ignorant post, all I would expect of you though.
These two knew how to make a proper Brexit.
Why are everyone so hateful? My goodness they are human nobody is perfect. Even the king and queen not perfect I just which everyone knows we all makes mistakes and prince harry and his wife are grown they have they own way of doing things I just which people would stop talking about them so bad let them live they life the way they want.
I doubt MM is actually a human. She is something out of a nightmare. Harry is simply an idiot.
You are a sad and unhappy person. look in the mirror at yourself and get a life so you can stop judging others. Peace.
I so agree.
2nd that
Who the f*** cares about this proven Nazi sympathizer (or thought it was funny at a party) and his racist wife? Honestly, they are as low as human kind can be if they think they matter to the average American trying to pay his or hers bills while working hard.
Yep. Took the words right out my mouth!
Language, Dave, language!
They must matter, given how much they seem to live rent free inside your head.
Thank you!!!
I was always told to cherish the cabin. My dad used to go there with a famous playwright.
How refreshing!!!! Thank you for reporting a factual story and consciously choosing to keep the focus on what is important. Oh how I wish all other publications would take your lead. And I just celebrated my joyful, gregarious and loving grandmother who welcomed her 97th year on this beautiful earth!
My thoughts precisely, Cashmere! Thanks!
Who would have thought the bratty lefty Harry would be without a grandmother? She was 96 for criemny’s sake! The Monarch is doomed now thanks to wokey wokers and Charles with his “climate@ obsession and Meghan that poor oppressed soul! Shameful what the left does to this world. Not worth paying for their self absorbed vapid lives anymore if they’re going to be self absorbed secular nimwits. Too bad it wasn’t William who became King and saved true Majesty. Leftists ruin everything. How soon Harry and his Nazi uniform and tirade in Vegas is glosses over because he feigns such virtue and bows before the leftist authoritarians. Sad what he has done inchoosing that hateful hearted Meghan. Remember your oppressors are now the oppressed! Pfffft
Whatever drugs you are taking must be strong af.
Amen to that.
You’re nutty ads a fruitcake.
Leave Miss Queen Pette Buttiget alone!
She is after all our nation’s Rear Admiral!
Very well said. Don’t mind the ppl who insulted u. Their head is so far up their left A they can’t see straight.
Let the Queen REST IN PEACE!! Please
Thank you for your kind words regarding Harry and Megan. No one has walked in their shoes. No one is perfect and to bring out their faults without mentioning yours is not fair. I would rather wish them a happy life with their beautiful children. I hope the family can find peace..
well said
How sad that people are so mean and evil. These are the sick idiots that cause wars and geniode. How dare these people speak unkind word about people who they don’t even know they are so mean. Prince Harry and Meghan’ Markle are worth millions to the social media world. They sell their products to idiots who thrive on racism we all know why they don’t like Meghan Markle she’s biracial. If she were white they wouldn’t give a rat’s ass, about her or the Prince because they wouldn’t be so important to make money off of their existence .
Please stop calling him Prince Harry he was stripped of that title by the queen last year.
He will always be a Prince. He was stripped of his HRH title.
Once a prince is always a prince, remember it is a blood thing, not a name only. So remember that.
Harry speech doesn’t make any sense. He and wife sold a fake story and shed crocodile tears with oprah winfrey for big bucks and attacking the Royal that’s their own family and harry own blood. He’s a traitor. Now his speech is non sense and fake. The Royal still very generous to let them return to visit. Harry and markle are the ones who chose to leave and quit their title. Who to blame?
Prince Harry isn’t a traitor, do none of you recall the h*** his mom went through with the paparazzi? Harry chose to protect his wife & child by stepping away. How do you know that Oprah interview was false, are you part of the Royal family? Are you a fly on the wall & know what has gone within? No! None of you do but each of you are bad mouthing them & are throwing stones. He lost his grandmother, his grandmother loved them (Harry, Meghan & her 2 great grandchildren). What he said about her came from that love, so stop judging a grandson & grandmother’s love regardless of their public standing in society.
Thank you for your kind words regarding Harry and Megan. No one has walked in their shoes. No one is perfect and to bring out their faults without mentioning yours is not fair. I would rather wish them a happy life with their beautiful children. I hope the family can find peace..
He was not protecting his wife by leaving the monarch. Dianna got killed after she left the monarch and didn’t have security anymore just like Harry did. He decided to leave his family and royal duties so he gave up all the benefits. His mom left the monarch but she got a divorce, Harry didnt. Harry is now left w no security just like his mother after leaving the monarch so that story is BS. Hes not safer out there doing his own thing. Neither was Dianna. She died as a result.
Let them return? He and his kids are British citizens, he is a prince, his wife is a princess by marriage, and his kids are a prince and a princess.
It’s shocking that they trigger you more than the disgusting Andrew does. You know, the skeezy prince pedo…
You sure don’t mean that, you are just a follower of hatred. Do you seriously think Harry will lie on his family that he love so much? I know the truth is to hard to stare at. But truth will always live on, you see lies are darkness and truth will out shine darkness and it won’t understand.
I’m biracial and I’m not going around using it to make others feel guilty. Meghan is an attention getter a true Leo. I hate the behavior not the person. She brainwashed Harry and he left his family for her. Family comes first. Now his grandmother is gone and he can’t get that time back. I will be so glad when he comes to his senses and divorce this woman soon.
How did she brainwash him, exactly?
Apparently, he’s quite happy with his wife. He chose to leave before they could do to her what they did to his mother. The monarchy are leeches.
I hear that “leeches” comment all the time, but the monarchy is actually quite profitable for the UK…
thank you for supporting Meghan and Harry. At the end of the day they have each other and are still part of the royal family
2nd that
Thank God someone said it…. DIVORCE THAT RACIST WOMAN!!!…. HER FAKE TEARS AT THE FUNERAL… THEN WHEN THEY WERE WALKING OUT NO ONE BUT MEGHAN WAS LOOKING AT THE CAMERA THEN DABS HER EYE LIKE SHES CRYING…. SHES A FAME WHORE AND POOR HARRY IS PARALYZED BY THE POWER OF THE PU$$Y. HE NEEDS TO PULL HIS HEAD OUT OF HER ASS AND GO HOME TO HIS FAMILY.
You won’t like anything better?
Actually they are no longer trusted or valued as the proverbial Black Sheep in the Royal Family as was so clearly evident in their not being included in a number of intimate family events during the Funeral Ceremonies. Harry does not share the values of blood family loyalty and respect that his father or his elder brother have for the Monarchy and has chosen to attack and blame them both for his long festering resentment and jealousy. The King has made it clear that the Sussex couple should follow their dreams of freedom and fortune in California where their publicly outspoken style is more suitable than the formal responsibilities of life as Working Royals.
Perfectly said Cheryl. Megan is quite the exhibitionist.
I was under the impression that there were flight restrictions at LHR due to capacity restraints.
I guess if you carry a Prince and Nutmeg on your flight, the rest of the plebeians get pushed aside. I bet their luggage wasn’t lost like the rest of us.
Love Prince Harry and Meghan, So happy they made it home safely and back with their children.
Harry and William gave a wonderful remembrances to and of their Grandmother.
We should all be this lucky that our Grandkids can say this when our time comes.
Thank you To a Quick for your kind words regarding Harry and Megan. No one has walked in their shoes. No one is perfect and to bring out their faults without mentioning yours is not fair. I would rather wish them a happy life with their beautiful children. I hope the family can find peace..
Perfectly put. Thank you.
Do you always back losers or do you just come across that way?
Thank you, Matthew Klint, for your compassionate story about William, and Harry and Meghan. Finally, a story with no backbiting.
William is 40 not 50? Where did your get the quote?
I dislike when any journalists miss pertinent facts! The only job is to write and interesting factual grammatically and spelling correctly? Is this too much to ask?
0-10 is the first decade of life. 10-20, the second, 20-30, the third, 30-40, the fourth, and the fifth decade starts at age 40. So yes, Prince William is 40, but he is in his fifth decade just as he stated in his own tribute to his grandmother, the queen.
Exactly.
Thank you.
Harry LOVES Megan very much. He’s in LOVE with her matter what anyone says. It’s JUST people who are jealous, the ones who talk against Megan. Harry and Megan belong together. Our creator brought them together. Some people are so HATEFUL Their only turns back on themselves. SO WATCH YOUR WORDS. They are all blessed. They have beautiful children. My deepest condolences to them. Grandmothers are special.
thank you for your kind words.
Williams and harry words were so powerful and meaningful. They lived their grand am very much. They were lucky to have her in their lives. May she Rest In Peace with their loving words.

I’m a woman of color and married to a caucasian man. When I was pregnant with our child, my family and I also wondered what the baby will look like. Does that make my family and I racist bigots? People will always wonder and look forward to what the baby will look like, it doesn’t mean they wish ill on that baby or the mother. I’m disgusted that Meghan played the race card against the Royal family for something so innocent and minor. I believe that the RF accepted and loved Meghan in the beginning; they were very open and welcoming to her. But she’s a cunning & narcissistic person who is angry that she didn’t get everything her way, so she’s trying to make the RF pay. Harry had always been coddled and spoiled, and not very smart, so he’s easily manipulated by Meghan. It’s a sad state of affair for the RF – they love Harry, but need to protect the monarchy from a vicious narcissist. The RF is smart to keep these two grifters away, and take away their undeserving titles.
Kim. Please don’t profess to know exactly what happened with Meghan and the royals because you are a WOC married to a White man and ppl are curious abt the appearance of mixed children. Most ppl really aren’t that concerned anymore. It’s now more common than you think, but not common within the BRF. Context is everything! Meghan stated the Royals where discussing chg’g the George V convention that would allow Archie to be titled HRH Prince when Charles became King while she was still pregnate and while raising the issue of how dark the child would be. For most ppl together these two things would be suspect as best. Unless you were a fly on the wall, pls don’t pretend you know this situation better than Meghan. Being a WOC married to a white man and creating a mixed race child does not make you an expert in Meghan’s situation.
Well said Kim. In Beautiful British Columbia’s Vancouver, we have a rich and eclectic kaleidoscope of ethnic and cultural diversity that makes it very usual to see mixed race marriages and the gorgeous children that are the result. It’s not seen as something to evoke racial prejudice as Meghan likes to claim has held her down and caused her mental anguish . It’s a card she uses to play the innocent victim while she throws her own and her husband’s families under the bus . She is a toxic personality that brings chaos and unhappiness to everyone around her.
It’s just very sad Harry fell for a selfish arrogant lady, who has managed to completely isolate him from his family! She wants her children to have titles but does not act like a Royal in any way ! My heart goes out to Family & Harry & I hope he realizes what is going on.
Before you point your finger at others look how many is pointing back at you.
I say, it’s America… Who gives a flying flip about the british? Ok the queen… RIP. She was great. But the rest are all suck. If all the money was gone, they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves. Harry said flip the money…I’m outta here. Good for him. But his wife if a flipping narcissist and needs to take a back seat with all of her “I & Me” speeches/talks/podcasts. And for Christ sakes girl, your not in high school, quit holding hands. Idk what’s worse, always rubbing, holding, patting her stomach when pregnant or always having to hold her husband’s hand. That’s flipping so controlling and she needs to get over her nasty self. There ..everything stated truth in a nutshell
Who created their bed? Oh ya them let them lie in it.
I have read many of these posts and it is pathetic how many people are so unhappy with their lives that they are actually jealous of what Harry and Meghan have. They have love for each other and have a beautiful family. People call her selfish, a fame person, a manipulator, etc. But not one of you know what it is like to live in the royal family, have a cold person like Charles as your father, live with the fact that your father had a mistress the entire time he was married to your mother. Do yourselves a favor and look at what is hidden in your closets before condeming someone else.
No one knows what really happens in close doors but am glad prince Harry is in the US, who would want to be close to the persons that hurt your mother like Charles and Camilla. Have you all forgotten.
To me and many others ,they are just hyped,privileged,good for nothings.Its 2022,refering to another human being as “your majesty” is absurd as well as hilarious.Score one for Nancy Reagan.
