King Charles reportedly found out about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK move just days ago. The revelation comes as the Sussexes prepare to settle their family back in Britain. After six years in California, the couple is allegedly planning a private home in the country, with their children expected to attend school there. However, their relocation is not expected to change their position as non-working members of the Royal Family.
King Charles reportedly found out about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s UK move on Sunday
According to PEOPLE, King Charles was informed on August 16 about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s plans to relocate their family to Britain. The couple is reportedly preparing to move with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Their children are expected to begin school in the UK next month.
The news understandably came as a surprise to many. Harry and Markle have spent the past six years living in California after stepping back from their roles as working royals in 2020. Now, they are set to establish a private, non-royal base in Britain.
However, the family is not reportedly giving up its life in the US entirely. The Sussexes are expected to keep their Montecito home. They are also understood to retain their property in Portugal. Still, details about their new UK residence and the children’s school are being kept private.
Most importantly, the Sussexes themselves have yet to publicly confirm all the details surrounding the move. However, recent reports indicate that a spokesperson for the couple confirmed the relocation to the BBC.
For Charles, the move could mean more opportunities to see his grandchildren. PEOPLE reports that the King welcomes the chance to spend more time with the family on a personal level. However, the Sussexes’ status is not expected to change. Harry will allegedly remain outside official royal duties, while he and Markle will continue as private, non-working members of the Royal Family.
The timing is also significant. Just weeks ago, Harry, Markle, and their children reunited with Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House. It was the first time Charles had seen Archie and Lilibet in more than four years. The meeting appeared to signal a possible improvement in the relationship between father and son. Now, the reported relocation could mark a fresh chapter.
