Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are heading back to the UK this Wednesday after six years in California, according to BBC News. They are making the journey with their two children, flying privately from their current residence in California. The couple’s spokesperson stated, ‘This is not something we would comment on,’ and their representatives did not respond immediately to CBS News for confirmation.
The couple first announced their decision to step down from senior royal duties in January 2020, aiming to become financially independent. They moved to California, citing a need for geographic balance to raise their son with royal appreciation while focusing on new ventures, including launching a charitable entity.
Despite leaving their roles, tensions with the royal family have been evident. The upcoming UK return sees them continue as non-working family members. They plan to reside in the Cotswolds, a region located two hours from London.
Their children, Archie and Lilibet, are preparing to begin a new school term next week. In a legal case, Prince Harry lost an appeal in 2024 against a reduction in his security detail during UK visits. Addressing security matters, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham described it as a private matter and wished them well.
Recently, a court decision required Prince Harry and six others to pay several million dollars to the Daily Mail’s publisher. The court deemed their claims against the publication ‘unreasonable to a high degree.’
These developments follow the couple’s ongoing journey in balancing royal obligations and personal freedom.
