Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Plan UK Move with Little Notice to King Charles

PUBLISHED Aug 19, 2026, 9:54 PM ET

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly preparing to move their family back to the United Kingdom after spending six years residing in California. The couple plans to establish a private residential base outside London, while keeping their primary home in the United States and a vacation property in Portugal. Their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are enrolled to begin attending school in Britain starting in September. King Charles III was reportedly informed of the relocation decision just three days prior during a brief notification window. Buckingham Palace sources indicate that the transition does not involve any reinstatement of official working royal duties for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The unexpected relocation follows a recent family reunion in Britain over the summer, marking the first time the monarch had seen his grandchildren in person in years. Security arrangements remain under ongoing public scrutiny following legal disputes.
