Question

Accepted Answer

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have relocated to the United Kingdom. As of August 2026, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their decision to return to the U.K. to establish a private, non-royal residence.

Key details regarding their move include:

*   **Residence:** The couple has moved into a private home outside of London. They are maintaining their residence in Montecito, California, as part of a new transatlantic lifestyle.
*   **Children’s Schooling:** Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were enrolled in school in the U.K. for the September 2026 term. Reports from September 2026 indicate the family navigated some early logistical challenges regarding school commutes and privacy.
*   **Royal Status:** The move does not mean the couple is resuming official working royal duties. They remain private, non-working members of the Royal Family.
*   **Context:** The decision followed a period of family reunions, including visits with King Charles III. The move is intended to allow the family to spend more time in the U.K. and closer to extended family, as well as to facilitate Harry's involvement with U.K.-based organizations.
