Prince Harry and Meghan returning to UK today, BBC reports

Prince Harry and Meghan are returning to the United Kingdom on Wednesday, marking their first visit back in six years. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have been living in California, are reportedly traveling privately with their two children.

This is not something we would comment on.

A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment on the travel plans, and their representatives did not immediately respond to requests for confirmation. The news of their return follows reports last week that they would be visiting Britain.

During their stay, Harry and Meghan have no plans to resume royal duties. They will continue in their roles as non-working members of the royal family, a status they have held since stepping away from their senior roles in January 2020 to pursue financial independence. At the time, they stated their desire to raise their son with an appreciation for royal tradition while focusing on a new chapter, including launching a charitable entity.

This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.

The couple's departure from royal life and subsequent move to California created significant tension within the royal family. Harry and Meghan have two children, Archie and Lilibet. Prince Harry recently faced setbacks in legal matters concerning his return to the U.K.; he lost a 2024 legal challenge against a decision to downgrade his security detail and was ordered to pay millions in damages to the publisher of the Daily Mail after his claims against the paper were deemed "unreasonable to a high degree."
