Overview
- Multiple British and international outlets report the Sussexes will relocate from Montecito to a private, non‑royal home outside London later this month and intend the stay to be an extended one.
- Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have been enrolled in British schools and are expected to begin the autumn term in September, according to several reports.
- King Charles was told of the plans only days before the public report, with People and other outlets saying he was informed on Sunday and is said to welcome more private family time.
- The couple will remain private, non‑working members of the royal family and plan to keep their homes in California and Portugal, so they are not resuming official royal duties.
- Security arrangements for the family in the U.K. have not been disclosed and remain a long‑running practical challenge after Harry lost his 2025 legal appeal over state police protection, and the brothers’ relationship is still reported to be strained.
