9 Questions Now Meghan and Harry Are Headed Back to UK

From where they will live to how King Charles III responded, key questions ahead of the Sussexes move back across the Atlantic.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to return to Britain after six years, moving back with their children Archie and Lilibet. The couple left the UK amidst a strained relationship with the royal family, particularly Harry’s older brother Prince William. Tensions further escalated following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, a Netflix documentary, and the release of Prince Harry’s memoir.

Their exact reasons for the relocation remain undisclosed, but Harry’s changing attitude towards America, evident even in 2024, may have played a role. The couple will reside in a private, non-royal residence outside of London, marking their first home base in the UK since forfeiting Frogmore Cottage. They will continue to maintain their homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal, but will not resume their roles as working members of the royal family.

Initial reactions to the news have been mixed, ranging from ridicule to expressions of national pride. The move also raises concerns about the couple's security, as they relinquished taxpayer-funded police protection when they stepped back from royal duties.
