Prince Harry and Meghan to move back to UK
LONDON: Six years after stepping down as working royals, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are moving back to the United Kingdom, British press reported late Wednesday.
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are set to return to the United Kingdom after a six-year hiatus, according to British press reports. The couple, who have lived in California since 2020, plan to move to a private residence outside London by the end of the month, according to The Telegraph. Their two young children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have already been enrolled in a British school to start the new academic year in early September.
Sources tell the Press Association that King Charles III has been informed of the move and looks forward to seeing the family more personally. Despite the reunion, the Duke and Duchess will maintain their status as non-working royals, the organization PA reported. The announcement comes just weeks after the couple's visit to the UK in early July, where they met privately with the King.
Harry and Meghan had not seen their grandfather since 2022. Harry and Meghan's departure from Britain in 2020 was due to a prolonged feud within the royal family, exacerbated by Harry's decision to publish his memoir, "Spare." The memoir reignited tensions as Harry expressed a desire to reconcile with his father, who has been battling an undisclosed type of cancer.
The July trip to the UK was marred by several complications, including reports that Harry may have been staying at Buckingham Palace when the palace denied such an invitation. The palace clarified that Harry had not accepted the offer in time. The royal family has faced ongoing scrutiny from the media, a factor that Harry has previously attributed to the tragic death of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.
