Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to the United Kingdom after residing in the United States for six years, according to reports from British media. The couple’s decision to move back to Britain was unexpected and was confirmed by outlets like the BBC and the Daily Telegraph. Their arrival was noted as their plane touched down at Birmingham International Airport at midday local time, following a private charter flight from Van Nuys, California.
Their children, 7-year-old Prince Archie and 5-year-old Princess Lilibet, have already been enrolled in British schools and are scheduled to commence classes in September. The family intends to reside in a private, non-royal property outside of London, although the exact location has not been disclosed.
Prince Harry and Meghan had stepped back from their royal responsibilities over six years ago to pursue business ventures with Netflix and Spotify. Tensions arose within the Royal Family when the couple alleged mistreatment of Meghan’s mental well-being by palace staff and made accusations of racism and media influence against certain family members.
Recently, Prince Harry has shown an interest in reconciling with his father, King Charles, who is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer. However, his relationship with his brother, Prince William, the future king, remains strained.
