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.

plans to return to Britain. -- [Associated Press via The Press Democrat].
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
