Recent reports from various international media outlets indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to move back to the United Kingdom. These reports, which cite British media as their primary source, suggest the couple intends to leave their residence in Montecito, California, by the end of the month. According to these accounts, the couple will settle in a private, non-royal residence located outside of London.

There is a consensus among the reporting outlets that the couple does not intend to resume their previous roles as working members of the royal family. Additionally, several outlets have reported that the couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have been enrolled in a British school starting this September.

While the reports share a common narrative, they vary in their framing of the couple's history. Some outlets emphasize the timeline of their departure, noting it has been six years since their exit, while others focus on the tension that followed their 2020 departure. It is important to note that these reports are based on secondary sourcing from British media, and no official statement has been released by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex or Buckingham Palace to confirm these specific plans.
