Prince Harry and Meghan Markle making shock move back to UK — 6 years after ditching royal life for California

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to make their way back to the UK at the end of this month for an extended stay, as confirmed by sources.

Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are expected to begin attending school in the UK.

A source disclosed to Page Six on Wednesday that the palace had been informed about their relocation.

According to the Sun, King Charles was notified on Sunday of Harry and Markle’s return to Britain.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to reside in a private home and have made it clear they will not take on royal duties. Instead, as reported by the Sun, they will focus on their various business ventures.

Harry and Markle originally announced their decision to step down from royal responsibilities and relocate to California in January 2020.

In their statement at the time, they mentioned, ‘After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.’

They stated their intention to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and strive for financial independence, all while continuing to support Her Majesty The Queen, who has since passed away.

The couple expressed their desire to balance their time between the United Kingdom and North America while still honoring their obligations to the royal family.
