- Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are reportedly moving back to the UK with their children after six years.
- The couple stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the US, but their plans for a permanent UK residence remain uncertain.
- Harry's relationship with his brother, Prince William, is said to be strained, though his ties with his father, King Charles III, have reportedly improved.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are reportedly planning a return to the United Kingdom with their children, Archie and Lilibet, after six years of living in the United States. The couple, who relinquished their royal roles in 2020, are said to be relocating from California to the London area later this month.
Sources indicate the family will reside in a private, non-royal residence on the outskirts of London, and their children are beginning the process of enrolling in British schools. However, it is understood that Harry and Meghan do not intend to resume official royal duties. Meghan plans to continue managing her lifestyle brand, 'As Ever,' while the couple is expected to maintain their residences in California and Portugal. The extent of their permanent relocation to the UK remains unclear.
Since moving to the U.S., Prince Harry has been candid about familial discord through media interviews and his memoir, causing significant shockwaves within the royal family. While his relationship with his father, King Charles III, has reportedly seen some reconciliation, his connection with his elder brother, Prince William, is described as still being uncomfortable.
Following his renunciation of royal duties, Harry lost his 'His Royal Highness' title and public security funding. He had requested the restoration of security measures to bring his family to the UK, but reports suggest his security level will not change even with a move back to Britain.
