Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly moving back to the United Kingdom this month - six years after leaving for the US.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are understood to be returning for an 'extended period', with Archie and Lilibet set to enroll at a British school.

The family will move into a non-royal residence and will not be working royals. King Charles is said to have been informed on Sunday of his son and daughter-in-law's plans to return.

The monarch, 77, is understood to be 'welcoming the opportunity' to see his family on a more regular basis - despite the fact neither he nor Queen Camilla were informed of Harry and Meghan's plans when they met in Gloucestershire in July.

Harry, 41, was already scheduled to visit the United Kingdom to attend a WellChild Awards bash next month and was set to stay in a room at Buckingham Palace room.

But the Duke and Duchess no longer require accommodation for their patronages with the whole family set to return within the next two weeks, according to reports which emerged this evening.

This is a breaking news story, more to follow.
