Prince Harry and Meghan arrive back in UK, six years after leaving royal life behind - CNN
Prince Harry and Meghan have returned to the United Kingdom with their children after living in California for six years. The couple is returning as private citizens and will not resume official royal duties.
Why it matters
The return of the Sussexes marks a significant development in the ongoing narrative regarding the British Royal Family and the couple's public departure.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived back in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, six years after they left the country and stepped back from royal life, CNN understands. The BBC, the country’s public broadcaster, earlier reported that Prince Harry and Meghan – along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – were understood to have flown privately into Britain from California. The Telegraph newspaper reported the family landed around lunchtime on Wednesday at Birmingham Airport. The family was reported to have made the journey on a Bombardier Global Express XRS luxury long-range business jet, according to Britain’s PA Media news agency. The Sussexes’ return to the UK after living in the United States for the past six years was revealed last week. Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, are already enrolled in British schools for the coming term, which is due to start in September.
