The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be planning to move their family back to the UK.

Harry and Meghan are plans to leave the US later this month and move to a private, non-royal residence close to London, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The couple’s children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are set to start at a British school in September, the newspaper reported.

The King was made aware on Sunday that the Duke and Duchess plan to return to live in the UK, and is said to welcome the opportunity to see more of the family in a personal capacity, but there will be no change in their status as private individuals.

The couple moved to the United States in January 2020.

The Independent have contacted a representative of the Duke and Duchess for comment.
