Prince Harry and his family have reportedly returned to the United Kingdom, marking a major development six years after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down as working members of the British royal family.
The couple and their two children reportedly arrived in the UK on Wednesday aboard a private jet that landed at Birmingham Airport, according to British media reports.
Harry and Meghan moved to California in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties and have since built a new life in the United States.
Harry And Meghan Reportedly Set To Settle In UK
The reported return comes days after British media revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were planning to move back to the UK.
According to The Telegraph, the couple planned to leave the United States by the end of August and settle in a private residence outside London.
The residence is reportedly not one of the official royal properties, suggesting that Harry and Meghan intend to maintain a private life away from the royal household.
Their return has attracted significant attention because of the strained relationship between Harry and members of the royal family following their departure from royal duties.
Children To Attend British School
Reports also indicate that the couple’s children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have been enrolled in a British school ahead of the new academic year in September.
The move would give the children an opportunity to spend more time in the UK and with members of Harry’s family.
The children reportedly had not seen their grandfather, King Charles III, since 2022.
Return Comes After Years Of Family Tension
Harry and Meghan’s departure from Britain was followed by a highly publicised dispute with members of the royal family.
The situation intensified after Harry released his memoir, Spare, in which he made several revelations about his relationship with his family and life within the monarchy.
Despite the tensions, Harry has continued to maintain links with the UK, including through legal matters and visits.
The reported return of the family could mark a new chapter in Harry’s relationship with Britain and the wider royal family.
Further details about the family’s plans and their new residence are expected to emerge.
