Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are relocating to the United Kingdom with their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, who will begin attending school in Britain this September. The move marks a significant shift for the couple who stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California.
The couple will maintain their home in Montecito, California, and their vacation property in Portugal while elishing a private, non-royal residence in Britain. The location of their new home and the children’s school remain closely guarded secrets. Sources emphasize there will be no halfway arrangement regarding royal duties, making clear the family’s status remains unced despite the geographic move.
King Charles reportedly learned of the decision only this past Sunday, and the topic was not discussed when he met with his son six weeks ago. The timing of the move comes amid ongoing health concerns for the King, though the couple’s motivations for returning remain a subject of speculation.
The relocation raises questions about the family’s future relationship with the royal household and whether proximity might ease longstanding tensions. As the children begin their British education, observers will watch closely to see how the arrangement develops in the coming months.
