Prince Harry was back in England. But it wasn’t exactly a happy homecoming. In early April, the Duke of Sussex once again found himself in a London courtroom as he continued his legal bid to restore state-funded security for himself, wife Meghan Markle and their children, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3 — which they lost when he and the Duchess of Sussex stepped away from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California. According to The Telegraph, Harry, 40, said he was “exhausted” and “overwhelmed” by the case. Some reports suggest the judicial proceedings have widened the rift between the prince and the monarchy — but Life & Style’s insider says Harry’s unwillingness to give up the fight shows how eager he is to reconnect with his family. “Harry…
