Overview
- The Sussexes announced this week that they will relocate to Britain with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have been enrolled to begin school in the U.K. in September.
- They will keep their 2020 status as private, non-working members of the royal family and will not be offered a hybrid working role under current arrangements.
- Multiple sources describe the stay as an extended but potentially temporary period that could last six months, a year or longer, and the couple will keep homes overseas.
- Palace sources say King Charles was informed privately and welcomes private family time, but attendance at family events requires the King’s invitation and is not automatic.
- Decisions about taxpayer-funded security remain unresolved and experts warn British tabloids are likely to return intense scrutiny given past coverage and recent legal fights.
