Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Return to the UK With Children After 6 Years in the US
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the United Kingdom with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, more than six years after stepping back from royal duties and moving to North America. The family plans to leave California later this month and establish a new base outside London. Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, […]
On January 8, 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to "step back as senior members" of the British royal family via an Instagram post. This marked the beginning of their six-year absence from royal duties in the United Kingdom. The couple, along with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are set to return to the UK with plans to establish a new residence outside London.
Both Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have enrolled in British schools and are expected to commence their studies in September.
The Sussexes will maintain their business interests in the United States, including the operation of Meghan's lifestyle company, As Ever, and Harry's involvement in charitable work. They have not disclosed the precise location of their new base. The Duke of Sussex's security arrangements in Britain remain uncertain following a legal challenge over the level of police protection he and his family could receive.
The Prime Minister has stated that the couple's security arrangements are a private matter, and officials have not yet announced whether they will automatically receive the same taxpayer-funded protection as working members of the royal family.
