Harry and Meghan Settle in Cotswolds as Palace Reaffirms Non‑Working Status

Their children have started British school as authorities reassess whether the family will receive state-funded protection.

Overview

  • The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the UK on August 26 and have enrolled Archie and Lilibet in British schools while living in a private Cotswolds residence.
  • King Charles, through the Lord Chamberlain, issued formal guidance clarifying that Harry and Meghan remain non-working members of the royal family and their HRH styles are in abeyance.
  • The couple said they were surprised by the timing of the King's letter, which the Sussex team received only about an hour before it was released to the media.
  • A formal security review by police and government bodies is under way to decide whether the family will get taxpayer-funded protection, a dispute the Sussexes continue to press.
  • Meghan posted a short Instagram montage on September 13 showing country life with Harry and the children, while Harry is moving ahead with near-term charity engagements as diplomatic and operational tensions, including Uganda’s withdrawal from Invictus, continue to play out.
