Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, arrived back in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, August 26th, 2026, six years after relocating to California amid tensions within the royal family.
UK media reported that a private jet carrying the family landed at Birmingham International Airport around noon local time, a detail confirmed by flight-tracking data. It is speculated that the couple will reside in a private home in the Cotswolds region near London. Their two children, seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet, have already been enrolled in a British school.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in early 2020 and moved to Montecito, near Santa Barbara, California, as relations with the royal family deteriorated. Since then, they have pursued independent careers, including high-profile interviews and media productions.
Reports indicate that Prince Harry's relationship with his father, King Charles, who is living with cancer, has improved recently, particularly following a visit last month. However, it is widely reported that Harry remains estranged from his brother and heir to the throne, Prince William.
Their return announcement came just one day before a London court ruling that could require Harry to pay millions of pounds to the publisher of the Daily Mail following a failed privacy lawsuit.
