  "account": "Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are set to return to the United Kingdom within weeks, according to British press. The surprise move comes six years after the couple stepped down as working royals. Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, and Meghan plan to move to a private residence outside London, where their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have already enrolled in a British school. The couple left Britain in 2020 due to a feud with their family, which escalated after Harry published his memoir Spare and an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Despite Harry's concerns about safety, King Charles has welcomed the opportunity to see more of his family. The couple's decision to return to the UK follows a short visit in early July, where they met with King Charles. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams described the news as extraordinary, speculating that the couple may have struggled in the US. The move comes amid the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's tragic death, and Harry's new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is set to be published on September 22.",
