Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly moving back to the UK, six years after stepping down as senior royals and relocating to the United States. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be returning for an "extended period", with their children Archie and Lilibet set to enrol in a British school, though the couple will not resume royal duties and plan to live in a non-royal residence. Analysts suggest the decision follows the winding-down of lucrative American media deals, financial pressures, public relations setbacks and strained relationships within Hollywood circles.

The couple left royal life in January 2020, giving up their working royal status and "Royal Highness" titles following talks with senior family members, before settling in Montecito, California, with baby Archie. Since then they have signed major deals with Netflix and Spotify, while Meghan disclosed a miscarriage in a 2020 essay and later launched her Archetypes podcast. Archie, now seven, and Lilibet, five, are said to have already enrolled at a UK school, with the family reportedly intending to stay until the children complete their education, marking a return to the country they departed six years ago.
