Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have announced their return to the United Kingdom in August, more than six years after moving to the U.S. The couple plans to live in a non-royal residence outside London with their children, Archie and Lilibet. This decision has been reported by several British media outlets.

The family's return is set to take place by the end of this month. Reports indicate that both children are already slated to enroll in a British school in September. This marks a significant step as the family has been living in California since stepping back from royal life in 2020.

Additionally, media reports have indicated that King Charles has been informed about the family's return. However, a specific date for the move has not been disclosed. The decision is said to have been communicated last Sunday.

After a split with the royal family that led to stepping back from their royal duties, the couple initially moved to the U.S. During their time in California, they repeatedly emphasized their desire to live a separate and independent lifestyle.

However, authorities have pointed out that there are currently no plans for the couple to return to active roles within the royal family. Coverage of their return has generated renewed attention in various headlines across British and international media.

The return to the United Kingdom is seen as a significant development in the history of the couple's departure from royal life, often referred to as 'Megxit.' While the details of their new living situation remain unclear, the couple has signaled support for a return without taking on specific commitments regarding their previous royal duties.
