- Prince Harry, his wife Meghan, and their children are reportedly moving to the UK on Wednesday, arriving by private jet from California.
- The couple stepped down as active royals in 2020 and have lived in the US since, with their children enrolled in a British school starting in September.
- King Charles was informed of the move, but the couple will not resume official royal duties; security concerns remain a point of contention.
Prince Harry and his wife, Duchess Meghan, are reportedly relocating to the United Kingdom with their children, arriving Wednesday via private jet from their California home. This move marks a return to Britain for the couple, who left royal life six years ago to reside in the United States.
It raises the question: what will the rest of the royal family think of this?
Their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, are slated to begin attending a British school in September. King Charles was reportedly informed of the family's relocation plans on Sunday. However, sources emphasize that the couple has no intention of resuming their roles as active members of the royal family.
The decision to move back to the UK has been met with speculation. A former press secretary for Queen Elizabeth noted that the move was unexpected and raised questions about the wider royal family's reaction. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham wished the couple well with their move, stating that their security arrangements are a private matter. Prince Harry's security protection was reduced after he stepped down from official duties, a point that has previously caused friction.
We wish Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan all the best with their move.
Amidst the news of their return to Britain, reports have also surfaced suggesting Meghan may be planning to restart her acting career, though this remains unconfirmed. The couple's departure from official royal duties in 2020 led them to establish a life in California, and their current move back to the UK is seen as a significant shift.
The question of their security is a private matter.
