British singer Joss Stone recently had a meaningful conversation with Prince Harry and expressed her hope that the Duke of Sussex will return to the U.K. The two met at the WellChild Awards in London, where Harry spoke about the importance of schools and community for children. Stone, who shares four kids with her American husband Cody DaLuz, resonated with Harry’s sentiments as they had recently relocated to the U.K. from the United States for the same reasons.
During their conversation, Harry joked about Stone having four children, with Stone wondering if he was serious or not. Despite the light-hearted moment, Stone appreciated Harry’s genuine interest in their move back home and found him to be warm and down to earth, as always. She even introduced Harry to her youngest daughter during their meeting.
Stone pondered the possibility of Harry moving back to the U.K. in the future, noting that it would be a nice development. Harry and his wife Meghan Markle had moved to the U.S. in 2020 after stepping back from their roles as senior working royals. Despite this, Harry’s recent visit to the U.K. for the WellChild Awards and a private meeting with his father, King Charles III, have sparked speculations about a potential return.
In a recent interview, Harry expressed his love for his country but also acknowledged the challenges of bringing his family back to the U.K., especially after losing his appeal for government-funded security earlier this year. However, his recent interactions with his family members seem to have shifted his perspective, with Harry indicating that he may spend more time in the U.K. in the coming months.
Overall, Stone’s conversation with Prince Harry shed light on the importance of family, community, and a sense of belonging, echoing Harry’s sentiments about creating a safe environment for children to grow up in. As Harry navigates his relationship with the U.K. and his family dynamics, it remains to be seen whether he will indeed make a permanent return to his homeland.
