An insider has revealed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a “step-by-step” plan for their UK future. Last week, it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were to relocate to Britain before the end of August with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.
It was reported that the children have already been enrolled in British schools, and that the family has found a home outside London. This is a non-royal residence, as Harry and Meghan will not return as working royals. It is believed the family will live in Britain for an “extended period” of time to begin with.
However, an insider has revealed that while the family will keep their home in Montecito, California, it is the plan to eventually fully base themselves in Prince Harry’s home country.
The insider told People magazine: “Step by step, they want to be in the U.K. They want to have the time and give the kids the opportunity to be here.”
The news of the move back to Britain sent shockwaves around the world last week, with Harry and Meghan having left life in the country behind in 2020 when they quit royal duty.

Since then, the duke and duchess have not held back from criticising life in the UK, with Harry even saying last year that he felt the UK was too unsafe to bring his wife and children back to.
He did, however, bring them back last month, with many believing this trip allowed the family to look at future homes in the country.
It also allowed Archie and Lilibet to spend time with their grandfather, King Charles, whom they had not previously seen since 2022.
The exact date the family will relocate to Britain has not been confirmed; however, it is believed to be within the next week. It has also not been confirmed where the family will be living due to security concerns.
