Overview
- Multiple British and German outlets report that Prince Harry and Meghan intend to relocate from California to a private estate outside London later this month and bring their children to start school in the UK from September 2026.
- Reports say the family are considering a private Cotswolds property for their base, with the exact address kept secret for safety reasons.
- Security experts quoted in coverage estimate 24/7 protection for the four could cost about £3 million to £5 million a year, and it remains unclear whether the couple or the public would pay those bills.
- Officials including the Royal and VIP security committee (RAVEC) and the Home Office are expected to re‑examine protection entitlement because Harry lost his automatic police‑protection claim in 2025 and now plans to live in Britain full time.
- Coverage cites family reasons and practical factors for the move, including a desire to spend more time with King Charles and media speculation that Meghan has received an unconfirmed acting offer in the UK, both of which could shape the couple’s public role and finances.
