Overview
- Multiple British outlets reported Wednesday that Prince Harry and Meghan intend to relocate from the United States to a private residence in the UK by the end of the month and have enrolled their children for school in September.
- Sources say King Charles has been informed and welcomed the prospect of more family time while making clear their status as private, non-working royals would not change.
- There are no public plans for Harry or Meghan to resume official royal duties, a stance that palace reporting says remains consistent with the 2020 decision to step back from senior roles.
- Practical questions about who will provide security for the family in Britain remain unresolved and are politically sensitive given Harry’s loss of automatic UK police protection after his move abroad.
- The couple are reported to be keeping their homes in Montecito and Portugal, planning to split time internationally, and Meghan is expected to continue her commercial work from the UK, which could affect where the family is based long term.
