Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly returning to Britain

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are reportedly planning to return to Britain this month, according to recent reports. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who left their royal duties six years ago and settled in the United States, intend to move from their U.S. residences to a private non-royal residence outside London. The couple plans to keep their homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal while they spend an extended period in the United Kingdom.

Their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have been enrolled in a British school, set to begin in September. King Charles III was notified of their decision on Sunday, and there are no current plans for the couple to resume their working roles as royals. Relations with other members of the Royal Family have been strained since their departure, but Harry has recently shown interest in reconciliation with his family.

The couple recently visited the U.K., where they met with King Charles and Queen Camilla at the royal family's estate, Highgrove House. Harry lost his final lawsuit against the Daily Mail for privacy invasion, but he expressed hope for reconciling with his family, stating, "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore."

Harry has cited security issues related to the palace's decision to strip him of his police protection detail on visits to the U.K. as a significant source of conflict within the family. Despite his desire to return to the U.K., Harry has expressed doubts about bringing his family back, citing security concerns.
