Prince Harry and Meghan Markle return to the UK with children

Prince Harry Meghan Markle Royal Family Cotswolds relocation

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have returned to the United Kingdom from California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. The family arrived at Birmingham Airport on Wednesday, August 26, via a private Bombardier Global Express XRS jet. Reports estimate the cost of the ten-hour flight at approximately $120,000.

The couple is expected to stay in the UK for an extended period, reportedly residing in a private, non-royal home in the Cotswolds region. Their children have already been enrolled in a local private school for the upcoming academic year. While the move marks a significant shift after six years in the United States, Harry and Meghan will not resume official royal duties and will remain non-working members of the royal family.

Sources suggest that King Charles III was informed of the relocation and welcomes the opportunity to spend more time with his grandchildren. The family intends to maintain their existing residences in Montecito, California, and Portugal. The return follows years of public tension between the Sussexes and other members of the Royal Family, though relations with the King have reportedly shown signs of improvement.
