Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a return to the United Kingdom before the end of this month, intending to establish a residence there for a prolonged period. This potential move marks a significant shift after the couple has been based in California, United States, for the past six years.
According to reports from British media outlets such as The Sun and The Telegraph, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to settle in a private property near London. These reports suggest that the couple plans to enroll their two children, Archie, aged seven, and Lilibet, aged five, in an educational institution in the British capital, while maintaining ownership of their Montecito home.
Despite this impending relocation, sources close to the Royal Family and parliamentary circles indicate that there are currently no contemplations of the couple resuming official duties or institutional representation on behalf of the British Royal Family. Their return is framed as a personal decision rather than a step back into full royal service.
The timing of this reported move follows Prince Harry's recent visit to London, where he held a private meeting with his father, King Charles III. Since stepping back from royal duties in early 2020 to pursue financial independence, the couple has focused their professional activities in the United States, notably through their firm Archewell Productions, which has secured a substantial production deal with Netflix.
