Prince Harry and Meghan to move back to Britain, media reports say

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to return to Britain this month after six years of living in the United States, according to multiple media outlets. The couple, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will be moving to the UK for an extended period and the children are expected to start school there in September. The relocation has been confirmed by a source close to the couple, though no statement has been issued by Harry's representatives or Buckingham Palace.

The decision to return to Britain comes after the couple's strained relationship with the rest of the royal family, which was reportedly exacerbated by their criticism of the monarchy in various interviews, TV appearances, and Meghan's memoir, "Spare." The couple's relationship with Prince William, in particular, deteriorated due to Harry's comments about the royal family's alleged racism, which Prince William denied.

Harry also expressed anger over changes to his security arrangements and the lack of automatic police protection when they moved to the US.

Despite the tension within the family, relations with King Charles appeared to improve in September when the father and son met for the first time in 20 months. Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, welcomed the opportunity to see his grandchildren for the first time since 2022. However, Harry and the king are still not on speaking terms, and Harry's brother, Prince William, remains barely on speaking terms with Harry.

Despite the family rifts, Harry and Meghan found success in various media ventures from their home in California, including a podcast series and a Netflix lifestyle show hosted by Meghan. The couple's return to Britain signals a potential shift in their lives and their relationship with the royal family.
