Multiple sources have said Harry is not looking to leave California, where he resides with wife Meghan and their children Archie and Lillibet, and has an “amazing set of friends”, according to The Telegraph.

The Duke has maintained a close relationship with friends in the UK and U.S. who are his trusted advisors and they expressed surprise at reports of a “blueprint” outlining the Prince’s return to royal life.

Harry, who recently returned from a tour in Colombia with Meghan, also has several projects lined up, further cementing his stay in California.

The Duke has plans for a trip to New York related to his charitable enterprises including African Parks, the Halo Trust, the Diana Award, and Travalyst.

As the Patron of the Invictus Games, the international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans, Harry is focusing on the next tournament, taking place in Vancouver and Whistler in February next year.

Harry also has collaborative business with Meghan, namely Archwell which has a new initiative, called the Parents’ Network, a support group for parents whose children have suffered harm online.
