Overview
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have told officials they will relocate to the United Kingdom with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet so the children can start at British schools in September.
- Buckingham Palace and reporting say Harry and Meghan will remain private, non‑working royals rather than taking a hybrid 'half‑in, half‑out' role with official duties.
- Sources say King Charles was informed privately before the public announcement and welcomed family visits, and senior royals met at Balmoral this week to discuss the situation.
- Key practical issues — whether state or police security will be provided, how long the family will stay in the U.K., and whether they will be invited to private royal events — have not been settled publicly.
- Coverage also notes earlier commercial plans for Meghan to act in a Guy Ritchie Netflix project faced backlash and were reported to be off, and the move must be seen against the 2020 Megxit agreement and the deeper rift opened by Harry’s 2023 memoir.
