Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the United Kingdom this month with their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, marking a reversal of the 2020 Megxit departure and bringing the family closer to King Charles III.
The couple will reside in a private, non‑royal home outside London while keeping their Montecito, California estate and a vacation property in Portugal. Archie and Lilibet have been enrolled at British schools and will start classes in September. King Charles III learned of the plan on Sunday and welcomed the prospect, having last seen the children at Highgrove earlier this summer.
Harry has signaled a desire for family reconciliation, and the return places his wife and grandchildren nearer the royal household without restoring working‑royal status or royal residences. The arrangement preserves the post‑Queen Elizabeth II agreement that the Sussexes remain non‑working members, and it may ease security and public‑relations pressures for the monarchy.
One outlet suggests the move may be tied to a secret UK‑based acting role for Meghan, while other filings attribute the relocation to family reconciliation and no such role has been confirmed, and no details have been provided about any production.
