Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the UK
For their children’s education
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to return to the UK with their children. The family is expected to move from the United States at the end of August, according to British and American media reports. A source close to the couple has also confirmed the news.
They are planning to settle in a private home outside London rather than a royal residence. Harry and Meghan will remain private citizens and will not resume official royal duties — meaning their status within the royal family will remain unchanged.
One of the main reasons behind the move is their children’s education. Seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet have already been enrolled in British schools and are expected to begin classes in September.
Harry and Meghan left the UK in 2020 after stepping back from their royal duties. They initially lived in Canada before eventually settling in California, where the couple focused on developing their own media projects.
Since the move, Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the royal family has remained strained. The couple have repeatedly spoken publicly about conflicts behind palace walls.
Recently, however, there have been signs of improvement in Harry’s relationship with his father. After King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, father and son gradually began rebuilding their relationship. In September 2025, they met in person for the first time in 20 months. During a recent visit to the UK by Harry, Meghan and their children, Charles also saw Archie and Lilibet for the first time since 2022.
According to sources, the monarch was only informed of the couple’s plans to return on Sunday. Charles III reportedly welcomed the news, as it will allow him to see his son and grandchildren more often.
Harry’s relationship with his older brother, Prince William, however, remains difficult. Despite his gradual reconciliation with his father, relations between Diana’s sons are still far from warm.
