Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Sussexes will relocate from the United States to a private residence outside London later this month and plan to stay in the U.K. for an extended period.
- Their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have been enrolled in British schools and are expected to begin classes in September.
- King Charles was informed of the plans on Sunday, Aug. 16, and is said to welcome increased private family contact, though Buckingham Palace has not announced any role changes for the couple.
- The couple will remain private, non‑working members of the royal family and will keep homes in Montecito, California, and Portugal while basing themselves in Britain.
- Decisions on who will provide security for the family in the U.K. remain unresolved, leaving open whether private protection will be used or if state arrangements will be agreed through the Home Office and RAVEC processes.
