Prince Harry and Meghan, after residing in the United States for six years, have returned to the United Kingdom to start afresh, according to reports from U.K. media. The unexpected decision to return to Britain was made public less than a week ago, with major news outlets like the BBC and the Daily Telegraph confirming their arrival at Birmingham International Airport. Flight-tracking data revealed that a private charter flight from Van Nuys, California, touched down at the airport around noon local time.
Their children, Prince Archie, aged 7, and Princess Lilibet, aged 5, have been enrolled in British schools and are scheduled to commence classes in September. The family intends to reside at a private, non-royal property outside of London, although the exact location has not been disclosed.
Having relinquished their royal duties over six years ago, Harry and Meghan left the U.K. to pursue commercial ventures with Netflix and Spotify. Tensions escalated with the Royal Family as the couple highlighted instances of insensitivity towards Meghan’s mental well-being among palace staff and made allegations of racism and media manipulation within the family.
Harry has recently shown a desire for reconciliation to spend more time with his father, King Charles, who is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer. Nevertheless, his relationship with his brother, Prince William, who is next in line to the throne, remains strained.
