Prince Harry and Meghan, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, returned to Britain on Wednesday, marking a new chapter in their lives six years after leaving the royal family to live in the United States. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down at Birmingham Airport, according to British media reports. Their decision to relocate to Britain came a week after they announced their plans to do so.
This time, the return is more significant than just a visit, as their children have been enrolled in a private school in Britain and are set to start classes in September. The family is expected to reside in a private home away from royal estates, with Harry and Meghan planning to live in the Cotswolds, a region in central England, while still maintaining their homes in California and Portugal.
Their move suggests that while they are not completely abandoning their life outside of Britain, they are creating a stronger base in the UK. Six years after stepping down as senior working royals in 2020, Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, faced a turbulent period for the British royal family. Their departure triggered disputes and criticism from within the royal establishment, highlighted by Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey and his memoir, Spare.
Despite the family's strained relations, Harry has shown a desire for reconciliation with his family, particularly with his father, King Charles III, who is undergoing cancer treatment. However, his relationship with his brother, Prince William, remains reportedly strained. One major concern surrounding their return is security, as Harry previously expressed concerns about safety for his family due to the lack of publicly funded police protection available to him when visiting from overseas.
The arrangement indicates that while the Sussexes are not abandoning their life outside of Britain, they are rebuilding a significant presence in the country while maintaining ties across both the UK and America.
