Prince Harry and Meghan land in UK

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have landed in the UK today, Wednesday, August 26, 2026, marking the beginning of their official relocation back to Britain. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, along with their children Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet (5), arrived via a private charter flight from California and touched down at Birmingham International Airport just before midday.

Key Details of Their Return

  • The Living Arrangements: The family is establishing a new home at a private, non-royal property located outside London in the Cotswolds area. They are keeping their residence in Montecito, California, as well as a property in Portugal, allowing them to split their time.
  • Schooling: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are already enrolled in a British school and are scheduled to begin the new academic term next week.
  • Royal Status: They will not resume any official royal duties. The family is returning as private citizens and will remain non-working royals.

The Context Behind the Move

The sudden move comes exactly six years after the couple stepped back from royal life in 2020.

While the move was shared with King Charles earlier this month—who reportedly welcomes the opportunity to see his grandchildren more often—relationships within the family remain complex. Prince Harry's relationship with his older brother, Prince William, is reportedly still strained with "no contact".

Upcoming Focus

While Meghan will focus heavily on settling the children into their new routine and expanding her lifestyle brand, Prince Harry is expected to continue his charitable work. His upcoming local engagements are anticipated to focus on WellChild and preparations for the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027.

The family's permanent presence in the UK is also expected to reignite independent discussions with the Home Office regarding their long-term security arrangements
