Kelly McKee Zajfen, who has spent the past week staying with Meghan and Harry at their Cotswolds home, shared the first candid photographs of Meghan since the Sussexes returned to Britain at the end of August. Zajfen said strangers have repeatedly told Meghan how much she has been missed, writing on Instagram: 'It's been beautiful to witness. She missed you too!' A Disney+ and Hulu documentary, 'Harry and Meghan: The Return of the Prince', is also premiering in the US today, examining the couple's return to Britain ahead of the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's death.

Photos show Meghan holding Zajfen's six-month-old son Jack at a pub, Harry laughing on the floor playing with the baby, and Lilibet in a pink dress.

Harry told Hello magazine the move has been 'eventful' but the children are now settled in school and the family is 'happy'.

A Sussex representative described the relocation as temporary, with the couple keeping their Montecito home and a property in Portugal.
