Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning an extended return to the United Kingdom this fall, with their children enrolling in British schools. The couple will not resume royal duties but intend to maintain their international residences.
Why it matters
The move marks a significant shift in the couple's lifestyle and their ongoing, complex relationship with the British royal family.
LONDON — Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, have decided to return to the United Kingdom for an extended stay starting this fall, but they won't resume their roles as working members of the royal family, The Associated Press learned Wednesday.
The couple's children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have already enrolled at British schools and will start classes in September, according to a person close to the Sussexes who was not authorized to speak publicly. The family plans to live at a private, non-royal residence outside of London, but plans to maintain their home in Montecito, California, and their vacation property in Portugal.
The Daily Telegraph first reported the story. When asked to discuss the reports by the AP at a roundtable event with U.S. veterans in Washington Wednesday night, Harry replied, "Nothing to say."
