Prince Harry, his wife Meghan, and their two children arrived in Britain yesterday, marking a return to the country after living in the United States for six years. The family landed on a private jet at Birmingham Airport in central England, according to UK media reports, though their spokesperson declined to confirm the details when approached by the BBC.
The couple, who stepped back from their senior royal roles in 2020 and subsequently moved to California, are reported to be planning an extended stay in Britain. According to The Telegraph, they will be residing in a home in the Cotswolds region of central England. Their children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, have been enrolled at a private school, with the new term set to begin in early September.
There has been widespread speculation regarding the motivations behind Harry and Meghan’s move and whether it signals a permanent relocation. Sources suggest the family intends to maintain their residences in California and Portugal alongside their new home in Britain, indicating a flexible living arrangement.
The return to the UK comes amid ongoing public interest in the couple’s relationship with the royal family and their evolving role within the British public sphere. The decision to base themselves in the Cotswolds gives them proximity to London while affording a degree of privacy. Further details about their plans or official engagements following their arrival have not been disclosed.
