Prince Harry and Meghan to Move Back to Britain

Healfromzero.com – Prince Harry and Meghan to move back to Britain is the latest development in a story that has captivated audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly planning to relocate from their California home to a private residence outside London later this month, CNN understands. According to UK newspaper The Telegraph, the couple have enrolled their children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 — in British schools for the coming term. King Charles was first informed of the plans on Sunday, suggesting the matter was not raised during the family’s July visit to the UK.

The King is said to welcome the opportunity to see more of the Sussex family in a private and personal capacity. He has made clear that there will be no change to the Duke and Duchess’s status as private individuals and non-working members of the royal family. The couple left the UK for North America in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties and have since been embroiled in a public falling out with the wider royal family.

Why the Couple Left — and What Changed

Harry and Meghan previously cited tabloid intrusion, racism within British institutions, sustained online abuse, and complex family dynamics as reasons behind their departure. Since then, Harry has made several trips back to the UK, including for the funeral of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 and the coronation of his father King Charles III the following year. His September visit last year included his first in-person meeting with his father in 19 months.

During the July family visit, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted Harry, Meghan, and their two children at Highgrove House, the King’s private country residence in Gloucestershire, England. It marked the first time in four years that the King had seen the entire family together, the previous occasion being the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Harry’s July itinerary also included charity engagements, among them marking the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition for injured servicemembers and veterans that he established more than a decade ago.

“The decision made it impossible for him to return to the UK with his wife and children.” — Prince Harry, BBC interview

Last year, Harry challenged the British government’s decision to downgrade his level of taxpayer-funded security following his step back from royal life. After losing the court case, he described being “devastated” in an interview with the BBC, saying the ruling made it “impossible” for him to bring his family back to Britain. That legal setback now appears resolved, clearing the path for Prince Harry and Meghan to move home without the security restrictions that previously blocked a return.

CNN has reached out to the Sussexes for comment.
