Key Facts
Harry, Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, are believed to have flown privately from California to the United Kingdom on Wednesday, the BBC reported.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the BBC “this is not something we would comment on.”
The family is believed to be settling at a private property outside of London, and their children are expected to start school in the coming term next week, according to the BBC.
British media first reported last week that Harry and Meghan, who for years have faced a rift with the royal family, would move back to the United Kingdom, an announcement that largely came as a surprise.
Harry and Meghan are not expected to return to their roles as working royals, the BBC reported.
It’s unclear how Harry and Meghan’s move will impact their relationship with the royal family, but a person familiar with King Charles III’s thinking told the New York Times he welcomes the opportunity to spend more time with Harry and his family.
