Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Sussexes will relocate from California to a private, non-royal home outside London in late August and make the UK their main base for an extended period.
- Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have been enrolled to start at British schools in September, according to several reports.
- King Charles was told of the plan days before it became public, with sources saying he welcomes more private family time; the decision was not presented as a return to official duties.
- The couple will remain private, non-working members of the royal family and have no plans to resume formal royal roles.
- Security and formal coordination with the royal household remain unresolved, a live issue given Harry’s 2025 legal loss over UK police protection and repeated reporting that who will fund or provide security has not been confirmed.
