Prince Harry and Meghan ‘moving back to Britain this month’

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, are reportedly planning a return to Britain six years after stepping down from royal duties. Sources suggest the couple, along with their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are expected to relocate later this month to a private residence outside London.

According to reports, the children are already enrolled to start school in September. King Charles was informed of the Sussexes' impending move on Sunday. While the King reportedly welcomes the opportunity for more personal family time, their status as private individuals, having relinquished their official royal roles, will remain unchanged.

The couple has been living in California since 2020. This potential move comes after a reunion with King Charles at Highgrove in Gloucestershire last month. The Prince and Princess of Wales have also reportedly been informed of the decision. The Sussexes are expected to retain their homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal.

Security arrangements for the couple remain undisclosed. Prince Harry has previously expressed concerns about his family's safety in the UK without official police protection, which was a factor in his decision not to bring Meghan and their children to London events last month as initially planned. The couple has spoken publicly about their struggles with the British press and tensions within the royal family.
