Harry and Meghan plan return to live in UK

Harry and Meghan plan to move back to Britain more than six years after they relocated to California.

Harry and Meghan plan return to live in UK

Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly planning to return to live in the UK later this month, according to UK media reports. The couple, who relocated to California six years ago, will move to a non-royal residence outside of London and have enrolled their children, Archie and Lilibet, in British schools. King Charles, who is currently battling cancer, was informed of the decision on Sunday and has reportedly expressed his welcome to the family's return.

Despite their change of residence, Harry and Meghan's roles and status as non-working members of the royal family will remain unchanged, and they will not be offered a half-in-half-out option. The couple's decision has raised questions about the potential for two rival courts in the UK and the public's reaction to their U-turn. William, Harry's brother and the future British king, reportedly appears to be unhappy about the news.

The couple's decision to return to the UK comes less than two months after they stepped back as senior royals, intending to support Queen Elizabeth II financially while residing in the UK and North America.
