Prince Harry and Meghan to move back to Britain, media reports say
Last month, Harry, Meghan and their children visited Britain, and Charles saw his grandchildren
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to return to Britain this month, according to recent media reports. The couple, along with their children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, are moving from California to the UK for an extended period, and their children will start attending school in the country in September, according to People magazine and The Telegraph. There was no immediate response from Harry's spokesperson or Buckingham Palace, but a source familiar with the couple confirmed the reports.
The couple, who stepped down from their royal duties in March 2020, will not reside in a royal residence, as agreed with the late Queen Elizabeth. They will maintain their status as non-working royals, following the terms set when they left the royal family. Harry and Meghan's union was initially seen as a potential revival for the monarchy, but their relationship with the rest of the royal family deteriorated over time.
Criticism of the royal family and the monarchy, as well as a Netflix documentary and Harry's memoir "Spare," fueled tensions between the couple and the institution. The breakdown in their relationship with the royal family culminated in their decision to step down from official duties.
Despite strained relations with the royal family, including a lack of communication with Prince William and King Charles, Harry and Meghan recently visited Britain in September. King Charles, who had been seen with his grandchildren for the first time since 2022, welcomed the opportunity to see the Sussexes. However, the king's relationship with Prince William remains strained.
Harry and Meghan have pursued various media ventures, including a successful book and a podcast, as well as a Netflix show, which, while not renewed for a third season, have kept the public interested in their story.
