Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly preparing to return to Britain for an extended period, moving back to the UK six years after relocating to the United States, according to reports published on August 19, 2026.
Details of the Move
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will reportedly jet back to the UK at the end of August with their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. The family is expected to stay for an extended period, according to The Telegraph. Harry had already been scheduled to visit the UK in mid-September for patron duties, including the WellChild Awards.
Harry has reportedly enrolled the children at a school for September, The Telegraph adds. This development comes one month after Prince Harry had a reunion with his father, King Charles, and Queen Camilla at Highgrove.
Background and Family Dynamics
It is understood that the couple did not raise their new move during the Highgrove reunion, despite the plan being in the works for weeks, if not months. Still, it is believed that King Charles, 77, welcomes the opportunity to see more of his family in a private manner, according to reports.
The move marks a significant shift for the couple, who relocated to the US in 2020 and have since lived primarily in California. The exact duration of the extended stay has not been specified, but the school enrollment for September suggests a long-term commitment.
