Harry and Meghan to move back to UK this month

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will move back to the UK later this month.

The couple relocated to the US in March 2020 with their son, Archie, who was almost one at the time. They went on to welcome a daughter, Lilibet, while living in California.

The family will live in a non-royal residence outside London for an extended period and the children - now aged seven and five - will start at a British school in September.

Sky News understands the King was first made aware of Harry and Meghan's plans on Sunday and welcomes the opportunity to see more of the family in a private and personal capacity.

It is understood there will be no change to the Duke and Duchess's status as non-working members of the Royal Family.

It comes more than six years after the couple quit the Royal Family.

The Sussexes announced their decision to step back as senior royals in January 2020, and a three-month transition period followed.

By the end of March that year, the couple had left the UK and temporarily stayed in Canada before moving to Montecito, California.

Harry has returned to the UK on just a handful of occasions since, mostly without Meghan and their children.

Charles met his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet for the first time since 2022 when the family visited the UK last month.
