Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that Prince Harry and Meghan plan to relocate to the U.K. this month and have enrolled Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to begin school in Britain in September.
  • The couple intend to live in a private, non‑royal residence outside London, will not resume official royal duties, and King Charles was reportedly told of the plans on Sunday, August 16.
  • Formal confirmation from Buckingham Palace and details such as the new home address and the children’s school have not been publicly disclosed.
  • Security arrangements remain unresolved after Harry lost a 2025 Court of Appeal challenge over police protection, leaving open how the family will be protected while living in Britain.
  • The move follows changes to the Sussexes’ commercial ties, including a scaled‑back Netflix arrangement, and the family will retain homes in Montecito and Portugal while shifting their primary base to the U.K.
