They will stay for “an extended period”, with kids Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, enrolling at school here, The Sun previously revealed.
Last month it was said they were planning a return at the end of the month, but the family will be arriving today, with The Telegraph adding they landed at Birmingham Airport at lunchtime.
The Sussexes, who had a reunion with King Charles last month, are said to have already found a new home in the UK.
Their relocation raises questions over the future of the 2020 Sandringham Agreement — dubbed “Megxit”.
The Sussexes will move into a non-royal residence and will not be working royals but will continue with their business enterprises.
Despite the fact they must have been planning the move for weeks, if not months, the pair did not raise the prospect of a return when they met Charles and Camilla at Highgrove, Gloucs, in July.

However, it is understood the 77-year-old King is welcoming the opportunity to see more of the family in a private capacity.
Harry was already due to visit the UK in mid-September for his patronages, including a WellChild Awards bash, and would have been offered a Buckingham Palace room.
They are expected to remain in Britain while Archie and Lilibet are in education. And they will retain their £11million home in Montecito, California, and Portugal bolthole.
The return comes six years after Megxit, when Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals, slamming Britain on their way out.
It also raises questions over the January 2020 Sandringham Agreement which ruled the couple could not juggle being working royals while earning private sector money.
It is understood Harry and Meghan will not receive any money from the public purse while back in the UK, and that he will not undertake any official royal duties.

Sources say if there are discussions on any future role for Harry it would need to take place between him and his father.
Both Archie and Lilibet can start in UK education in September. He is at Prep School age, and she is eligible for Year One.
Sussex sources would not reveal where they will be enrolled, nor where the family will be living, citing privacy and security reasons.
However The Sun understands the family’s new accommodation is not a royal property.
It is unclear if they have bought their UK home or will rent.
Harry has previously claimed it was unsafe to bring his family back home. He has fought a multi-million pound legal campaign to force the Government to return his 24-hour armed guards.
After a “devastating” court loss 18 months ago he said: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
It is also not known if there have been changes in the Home Office’s security position on the Sussexes, and sources would not comment.
Meghan, Archie and Lilibet spent last month’s visit here without taxpayer-funded armed cops.
