Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly moving back to UK

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a return to the United Kingdom, six years after they relinquished their roles as working members of the British royal family. According to British press reports, the couple intends to leave the United States by the end of the month to settle in a private residence located outside London.

The move signifies a significant shift for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have resided in California since 2020. Their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have reportedly already been enrolled in a British school for the upcoming academic year. The couple has reportedly selected a new home, which will not be a royal residence.

King Charles III was informed of the Sussexes' plans on Sunday. A spokesperson stated that the monarch "welcomes the opportunity to see more of the family in a personal capacity." However, the statement emphasized that there will be no alteration to their current status, and they will not resume working royal duties.

This reported return comes just weeks after Harry and Meghan visited the UK in early July with their children, during which they had a private meeting with the King. The children had not seen their grandfather since 2022. Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, left Britain for North America in 2020 amidst a rift with his family, which reportedly widened after Harry published his memoir "Spare."

Harry has expressed a desire to reconcile with his father, particularly following King Charles III's cancer diagnosis two years ago. Despite reported setbacks, such as Buckingham Palace denying claims that Harry would stay at the palace during their July visit, the family appears to be seeking closer ties. Harry has long cited the media's role in his mother Princess Diana's death as a reason for his strained relationship with the press.
