Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have landed in the United Kingdom to start a new chapter in Britain after residing in the United States for six years. This decision to return caught many by surprise and was confirmed by various media outlets like the BBC and the Daily Telegraph. The couple’s private charter flight from Van Nuys, California, touched down at Birmingham International Airport around noon local time, as per flight-tracking websites.
Their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, have been enrolled in British schools and are set to begin classes in September. The family intends to reside in a private non-royal home outside London, although the exact location has not been disclosed.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties over six years ago to pursue opportunities with Netflix and Spotify. Since then, tensions have arisen within the Royal Family due to allegations made by the couple regarding insensitivity towards Meghan’s mental health and accusations of racism and media manipulation.
While Harry has shown interest in reconciling to spend more time with his father, King Charles, who is undergoing cancer treatment, relations with his brother, Prince William, remain strained.
