  "account": "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to the United Kingdom, according to BBC News. The couple, along with their children Archie and Lilibet, reportedly flew into the country privately from California and touched down in Birmingham around noon. A representative for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex declined to comment on the matter. There was no visible police presence as they left the airport, a source told the BBC. It was previously reported that the royal couple intended to move to the UK in August of this year. They will not resume official duties but aim to live in Britain as non-working royals. The family is expected to reside at a private property in the Cotswolds region, outside of London. The children, Archie and Lilibet, have enrolled in a school, with the new term beginning the following week. The Sussexes left the UK and retired from their royal roles in early 2020 before settling in California the following year. King Charles was informed of their relocation earlier this month, although it was not discussed prior to their visit in July. The couple had not been in the UK together since attending the Queen's funeral in 2022. Prince Harry and the Princess of Wales have been notified of their plans. The security situation for the Sussexes in the UK has been a topic of discussion since their return was announced. Last year, Prince Harry lost a legal battle regarding the extent of security afforded to him and his family while in the country. It remains uncertain what security measures will be implemented for the couple in the UK and who will be responsible for covering the costs. Following the announcement, a spokesperson from the Home Office stated that decisions on royal security are made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RaveC), and the UK government's protective security system is both \"rigorous\" and \"proportionate.\" Prince Harry has previously expressed concerns about safety, which have prevented him from returning to the UK with his family.",
